The watchdog that handles grievances about telecommunications companies in Canada says complaints about phone, internet and television services were up 43 per cent halfway through its reporting year.

The report by the Commission for Complaints for Telecom-Television Services (CCTS), which measured complaints from customers between Aug. 1, 2023 and Jan. 31, 2024, found an “alarming” rise in those related to overcharges on bills.
