Your dad's fee would be the same percentage of what ever his total is. When Hydro sold the power directly they just buried that fee in the price and when they started selling through other services it was broken out so you are not really paying more it is just shown differently. What really get's me is the "debt retirement" fee that they charge above all the services to eliminate the debt from their past poor business practices. No private company would get away with that.
I wish I only paid $44 a months and no gas or water bills! Maybe I need to look at apartments.
Again though, in what universe does it make sense to charge more than 50% of someone's bill on just a delivery fee?

Sounds like Toronto Hydro really just wants to get paid regardless of what's actually used.
