Hello Vk3jed,

 Vj> Agree.  Seems most Americans only have a limited choice of ISPs in a
 Vj> near monopoly situation.

It's the same in Canada. There are only two choices here, the cable company or the telco. Both wildly overpriced. Good service yes, but...

 Vj>   Here, we have literally dozens.

There is a new player now, teksavvy. Their web site is at teksavvy.com. I hope that will be the end of monopolies here in Canada. Service is good as always and the price is more in line with reality. I have a choice with their service to get my connection via the cable company or the telco.

The telco/cable company are using injunctions to block CRTC regulations around pricing for these services that are still provided by the telco/cableco. The lawyers are the only winners here.

 Ttyl :-),
         Al
