i called up retentions and they gave me $30/month for 12 months taxes in. this includes the wireless modem rental and unlimited bandwith usage. |

You must have a dial-up connection if that's the biggest one you could download. The average broadband e-penis is 32 km. |

no. but again, their service can only be as good as the quality of your line. so if you're far away from the CO, there's really not much they can do. although i have read before that if there is a stinger or a remote close by, they might be able to move u there, if bell actually does it. |
Bell and resellers of Bell facilities get access to the remotes... AFAIK companies who run their own SLAM out of the CO do not (Rogers doesn't for sure).
anyone considering dsl should call into their telco and drum up a story to get them to run a test on the phone loop... it will report back the length +/- 200 or so metres... will also isolate some nasty line conditions like ground/battery/high resistance opens that will screw dsl signal but often not affect voice service (and as such doesn't get noticed) |

Ted Rogers could walk right up to my front door, ring the doorbell, and piss on my shoe, and Bell would still be worse. |
