It's simply not right that DSL should cost more. My current DSL  
is throttled to 5Mbps - somebody claimed that "the copper is  
too old" for anything faster.  And I'm paying far more what  
other people are at the same price. My neighbors can get  
substantially faster DSL speeds than me - although they  
subscribe to the head honcho company itself: Bell Canada. I was  
using a 3rd-party competitor in 2009: Acanac.  Meanwhile,  
around 2011-12, Bell Canada absorbed Acanac, yet Acanac can  
still offer "competitive" prices.  Dunno how that relationship  
works.

Meanwhile the fibre install is stalled. Not sure what they are  
doing to resolve the matter. But I recently got an email  
thanking me for purchasing the fibre installation that I don't  
have!
