ICA Canada Online told its customers that the reason they were having
so many busy signals was because Bell told them it would take SIX
MONTHS to get new telephone lines!

They even said that they were taking it to the CRTC, but the CRTC did
nothing.

So someone is lying.  Is it BELL or is it ICACOMP?

So why not have ISPs set up their own high bandwidth network and say
SCREW YOU Bell!

I would agree with all of what Bell is saying ONLY IF Bell was not in
the ISP business.
