When Rogers announced plans to buy Shaw, Canada's Competition Bureau fought the merger, citing concerns that the elimination of Shaw as a competitor would lead to harm for consumers, including price increases.

At the time, Rogers CEO Tony Staffieri pledged lower prices for customers and brushed aside competition concerns.

Earlier this year, Rogers upped the price of some cellphone, internet and home phone plans.

They just randomly increased my cell phone bill by 12% with absolutely no warning or reason. How the hell is that legal? What's stopping them from randomly increasing it 100% sometimes and just stealing my money?
