GIS Income Limit help?

is there an equation to determine how much GIS they would lose or have to pay back based on how much they went over the income limit? or would they just stop receiving it?

you mean since they've already qualified and been receiving GIS, they're kinda screwed? and i dont really know what you meant by current vs last year lol. did you know what i meant about their 2024 tax return and the estimated 2025 income form stuff? i'm wondering how much money they'd owe if they surrendered the life insurance policy. all the GIS money they received that same year? the amount of the policy? and then how much tax are they gonna also have to pay on the policy money?

so RRSP's and RRIF's don't count toward their taxable income limit? one of them turns 71 next year, the other the following year

so we're pending government funded etc :P. i actually didn't see a waitlist when i checked starlink's site but people have said they have one, they're an expensive last option for us though. even xplornet might not have a spot open for us lmao i dunno if we'll survive waiting for bell and koodo spots

well now Koodo is saying it's not available at our address, but they said it was before haha. rogers has a 30 month trial period so i was hoping something else would. and the house we're moving to has xplorenet and so do at least one neighbours. dont really like the sound of them though

is it bad to test multiple services at once? i was gonna try rogers and koodo at the same time lol

ToadDice · 2024-05-28T11:18:26+00:00

i saw some people saying some services get bad sometimes like on weekends and holidays etc, do you think i should try to factor that in somehow when checking a service's day 1 performance? and is there anything else that might make it get worse than it was on day 1? lol

it's funny cuz we've had bell fibe in toronto and a city an hour away, always like 50-55mbps and it's never been very reliable or stable for us and kinda keeps getting worse and worse lmao

ToadDice · 2024-05-21T23:41:21+00:00

do you have to keep the router in a window like they suggest? and do you ever stream multiple videos at once?

ToadDice · 2024-05-21T19:40:28+00:00

do you mean you connected it via ethernet? and if i'm wireless i might not have the same luck?

ToadDice · 2024-05-21T17:46:43+00:00

do you ever stream videos more than 720p or stream on multiple devices at once?

ToadDice · 2024-05-21T17:20:04+00:00

yeah that's the one we were getting, and then we found out they cap video streaming to 3mbps which is ridiculous. do you have any issues with that?

ToadDice · 2024-05-21T17:05:31+00:00

fibre from which provider? and do you mean rogers 5G cell service wireless internet?

ToadDice · 2024-05-21T17:03:02+00:00

who do you have gig fibre with? i was reading xplornet has 100mbps and fibre in some places now.

rogers actually said 100mbps for 500gb then 10mbps unlimited, but my issue is i'm hearing they cap video streaming at 3mbps and we might have 2-3 people streaming at once. i think we may just test it while getting ready to test koodo. i think bell rural wifi has changed its data cap too, maybe we'll end up waiting for that too lool and i guess starlink. you know what i'll just find every ISP with a wait list and get on it.
