Yeah, IU've been reading about that from you guys

 JD>> Biggest carrier in Canada, and they will do what they want to do,
 JD>> and not what they need to do.

 MV> The arrogance of power...

Indeed.  You can switch, but then you pretty much are stuck with another giant,
who also does what is best for their bottom line.  There are some smaller ISPs
here, and I may in the future switch. Trouble is that I astill have to go over
the same lines and through the same switches as with my present ISP, since they
control the phone lines, etc.

 JD>> Lots of promises, but that is all it ever amounts to.

 MV> Sounds familiar... :-(

 JD>> My friend lives in a mobile home park.  He asked 10 years ago when
 JD>> they would put DSL into the park, The answer was always 'in about a
 JD>> year' It is still not there.  He has switched to cable.

 MV> Then he is lucky the cable guys cover it.

It was a choice he did not want to make, but if he wanted high speed it was the
only choice open to him, other then microwave.
