详细如下:

Acanac Inc. High Speed Internet
INVOICE # 222166

Thank you for your continued support in using Acanac Inc for your high speed internet needs. This notice is to inform you that we have successfully renewed your account for another 12 months of service. Attached is an invoice for your own records.

Your invoice amount for an entire year of service is: $407.40 (12 months of service)

The breakdown is $33.95 per month times 12 months ( prices include taxes ).

Some clients are unsure as to why the $18.95/mo promo price is not available for the 2nd , 3rd or 4th year and here is why:

Acanac's cost of running a DSL client on a monthly basis:

Bell Charges: $19.50 a month plus $1.00 per month, on all GAS Accesses existing as of the effective date of this tariff and for each GAS installation or re-installation (move) until such time as the associated GAS access is disconnected or terminated.

For proof of CRTC tariff prices please visit the following link:

Bandwidth and Tech support is about $4.50 per month Other expenses including Rent, Servers and professional fee's: $2.30
Total monthly running costs: $27.30

During the first year of service Acanac loses about $8.35 each and every month. Please also keep in mind that we have not included all expenses. Acanac for example still has to pay the GST on all DSL sales.

It is also important to know that Acanac was built with the clients in mind. It will take our company approx 3 years before we begin to turn a profit. The first 3 years only gives us enough money to repay the monthly loss incurred to each client from the 1st year.

Important: * All DSL companies have the same CRTC fees associated with it no matter how larger or small they are therefore, it is important to realize that if a company is selling high speed service for less then $30 dollars per month they are likely selling what is called high speed lite. They may make the advertisement sound like a better deal due to their marketing strategy however this lite version is only a 1Mbit/s or less compared to the 5mbit/s offered by Acanac. There are also bandwidth limits that if you go over will be very costly for the user. Some companies ( eg. Bell Sympatico ) may be advertising rates for high speed in the mid 20's however, be assured this is not the high speed 5Mbit/s service. They are not allowed to sell high speed 5Mbit/s lower then their current tarrifed amounts due to CRTC rules. This also applies to a lot of other competitors thus please read the fine print and ask questions before making any decisions if you choose different providers. Acanac has made it very clear that we intend to be the lowest price in the industry for DSL service in the long run and we structured our renewal plans in such a way that we do not lose money but are still lower then the rest of the competition. If you have any other questions about pricing please do give us a call.

No client is forced stay after the promo ends. We hope during the first year of service we have proved ourselves worthy of your business. Please also remember that $33.95 includes tax. You are really looking at about $31.91 before tax.

We hope that the CRTC lowers their tariff rates in the near future. Once they do we will be able to reduce our monthly fees as well.


You also get the following with Acanac.com DSL service.
Unlimited Bandwidth ( Upload & Download )
100GB of online storage
Access to our Online networking site
Online computer with 50GB of storage
No Ports Blocked ( Bitorrents and home servers allowed )

Acanac continues to try and innovate by offering features that no other service provider does. We will do this as much as we can without placing any additional financial burden on our clients.

We hope that this has been informative to you the client. If you have any other questions or concerns please do not hesitate to give us a call.
Best Regards,
Acanac Inc.

第一年贴钱,要通过后两年赚钱才能持平,为啥要这样,这不是 SB 行为吗?
 
Whew... Too complex to me. :D

What does SB stand for, if I may ask? :D

No, that is a business strategy actually and it works in most cases (for native Canadians).

If you wanted to save some $$, you'd have to switch around all the time (like voting politicians in or out, changing diapers for your kid, or changing husbands/wives/bf/gf by some ppl. :D).
 
第一年 18.95/月,便宜得离谱。 觉得像商业欺诈。
 
他家就是第一年便宜,第二年开始就贵了。
不过比bell,rogers的正常价要便宜些。

可以问他们要二年的合同,一共600多,大概23一个月。不过要二年一起付。

它会干吗? 按它前面说的,就是二年的合同,它还得贴钱啊!
 
Keep in mind, only two companies have lines (Bell and Rogers) if I am not wrong. How can other companies make some profits without tricks?
 
哈哈。没有做过,这么会知道行不行。想当然是想不行的。
