What? Are you not excited about only having to consume your products from 3 different entities?! It'll save you tons of time! /s
Cries in Canadian telecom monopoly. 😭
Hey no worries. My landlord has a specific agreement that guarantees we have to choose either the one true service provider or nothing for our services.

I cannot stand Ryan Reynolds.
That’s ok you can sit Ryan Reynolds as well.
I can't sit him, either.
Can you squat him? If not, it's time to hit the gym.
Any idea if this will effect Simple Mobile? I know a lot of these bargain carriers are the same product with a different wrapper.
