You're saying that your prices are down 25%. We've had a lot of statistics bandied around this committee and to the Canadian public.
We're going to look at one statistic today, and that's monthly average revenue per account, ARPU. In layman's terms for those listening at home, that means the average revenue taken in and how many accounts that each of these companies has. Basically, that is the best statistic we have for Canadians to show exactly how much revenue is coming in and how much that revenue is paying per customer. In other words, this is exactly what is coming in for Canadians and how much they're paying these public companies.
When it comes to looking at 2022 versus 2023, Rogers had an average revenue per account of $57.89 in 2022, and in 2023 it was $57.86, a decrease of only three cents. With Bell, in 2022 it was $58.92, and in 2023 it was $59.08. In 2022, Telus was at $58.10, and in 2023 it was $58.78.
There are a couple of observations from this. One is that all three of these companies seem to be very similar, within two or three dollars of each other. Two, the average revenue per customer has not gone down, except for Rogers, by three cents.
Mr. Hartling, how do you account for these numbers on average revenue per user with the statement you just made that you've dropped cellphone bills by more than that?
