DadCast 18 – Season 3 The PodCamp Montreal PreShow
Nearly Live From The Wendyhouse Studios of Valois Bay… As we start packing our laptop bags for this weekends’ PodCamp Montreal, we thought we’d put together a special 2FatDads introspective / retrospective from all of the chaos that happens before we start the show. This is most definitely not a how-to white paper on podcasting…

Canada avoids broadband duopolies, keeps line-sharing alive
Canada avoids broadband duopolies, keeps line-sharing alive: “‘Requiring these companies to provide access to their networks will lead to more opportunities for competition in retail Internet services and better serve consumers,’ declared the CRTC’s Chair Konrad von Finckenstein” Although the last couple of CRTC rulings have been quite good for the little guys and the…

Pentax Imaging Canada, You ROCK!
One of the collective peeves from all the Fat Dads on this site is awful customer service. And it’s been pretty much no holds barred for outing and shaming companies that hold the customer in contempt and provide nothing but appalling customer service.

Tassimo: Service Done Right

No French Site for RIM/BlackBerry Canada!
Once again I’m calling out Research in Motion for being web idiots. How can a Canadian company still not have a French version of their own site in Canada and yet have a Spanish version in the States and a French only site in France. [ad name=”2fatdads_post”]

NOT The Bell Way!
OK I’ll admit to being more than a little angry with the way that Bell through up our ExpressVu (now it’s simply Bell TV ) Dish on the chimney. But comments left both on this blog and in the Flickr feed have been rather supportive and tend to agree with me on the fact they…

CRTC Rules Bell Can Still SUCK!
It’s officially time to say: “The HELL with BELL!” And the CRTC can now become just one more corrupt government agency that is completely out of touch with the industry it is set to oversee and protect. Bell Canada Inc. is not breaking any laws by slowing Internet speeds and will be allowed to continue…
