OTTAWA - Most telephone customers in Canada will be getting rebates estimated between $5 and $20 after the country's top court ruled carriers must refund subscribers $300 million from an unspent broadband expansion account.

The Supreme Court of Canada ruled Friday that Canada's telecommunications regulator did have the right to tell Bell (TSX: BCE.TO), Telus Corp. (TSX: T.TO) and MTS Allstream (TSX: MBT.TO) how they must spend money collected above their directed fee schedule.

According to a previous estimate from Telus, the rebate would amount to about $5 per customer in urban areas. Consumer advocates believe the rebate from Bell could be as high as $20.
