The CBC reports Sunday night on a man who took Bell to court after it diddled a price-promise. The complaint has been heard from many Bell customers. David Ramsay says a Bell customer service rep told him on the phone that he could buy Bell Fibe TV and internet service for $112.90 a month for 24 months. He was told he’d get an email confirmation of this. But the email contained a proviso that Bell might increase that price, apparently at any time. In a judgment last month in Toronto small claims court, Deputy Judge William C. De Lucia said that Bell’s attempt to impose new terms after a verbal contract guaranteeing a monthly price for 24 months had been struck was “high-handed, arbitrary and unacceptable.”
