Dave,

What I feel like saying, I won't.

You're playing the part of the poor unfortunate consumer, the sucker. You
have a choice to play that or not.

If you don't like the service, walk away.

I know other people that were asking for Bell's Sympatico High-Speed,
promised that it would be available next month, week, whatever. It never
showed up. Meanwhile their Sympatico dial-up account was changed to
high-speed and they over-used their hours. Bell charged them >$300 for
usable of dial-up. They got burned. You can walk away unscathed. They
switched to Rogers Hi-Speed's Lite service.

They're smarter than you it seems.
