If you read my post (again) you'll see I was comparing the *internet access* charge of $70/mth (which doesn't include the line charge), to the *internet access* charge of $600/mth for dedicated service over 2B ISDN in Ottawa. (which doesn't include the line charge). > >And where is Bell Canada in all of this... lots of talk about > >trials, but as far as something the public can use, they seem to > >have their head up their a**. > If you go check, Bell is conducting trials of ADSL technology. I did go check before posting. That's why I said there is nothing the *public* can use... If you know how I can call up an ISP and Bell and get ADSL service next week for under $100/mth total (line + access), please enlighten me. -Ralph
