If you don't believe it just witness the horror story *FACT* 
on Bell's ISDN (Microlink). According to the Anti Bell page 
Bell publicly stated they would "never" charge more than 
business rates. Yet, this guy's rates TRIPLED from $53 a month 
1995 to $153 a month 1997.  See 
http://www.hyperinfo.ca/~gs.sunatori@hyperinfo.ca/1997-02-08.html

How much is today's ADSL? You do the math to get your cost in 1999.

The bottom line: NEVER TRUST BELL!!
