   Some Guy to All   
   So who here has gotten their $67 rebate

   From: Some@Guy.com   
      
   Bell was ordered by the CRTC to refund $250 million that was collected   
   over the years from customers, supposedly in the name of the perenial   
   poster child known as "rural broadband".   
      
   This refund works out to $67.41 to each of about 3.7 million urban (not   
   rural) telephone customers on record with bell as of (I believe) August   
   2010. This is supposed to be paid out this month (March).   
      
   Nobody I know in SW-Ontario (basically, anywhere west of GTA all the way   
   to Windsor) has received this yet.   
      
   There are some reports that eastern Ontario (Kingston) have got some of   
   theirs.   
      
   Contradicting reports that this is coming as a cheque in a plain   
   (unmarked) envelope as well as being credited to active accounts.   
      
   So - has anyone who was a Bell phone customer as of last summer gotten   
   their $67 cheque / credit yet?
