They have what is called FTTN (Fibre to the Neighbourhood), which I suppose can't be as good as FTTH but still not too bad (50/10).

Having said that... not only does Bell charge more for the service, the Bell website denies that I even have that service available (my speed tests -- using Bell's own test site at <a href="http://206.47.199.107/">http://206.47.199.107/</a> and others -- confirm that I do have 50/10).</div>

</div>Don't forget, when they "share" their system, they're paid for it. Same<br>
with the cell network. Bell was complaining that Verizon would ride for<br>
free on the existing networks, while ignoring the fact that any company<br>
roaming on another has to pay to do so. Wind customers roamed on Rogers<br>
and paid extra when they did so. Bell also complained about possbile<br>
job loss, yet have for years sent jobs out of the country. My heart<br>
bleeds for them. ;-)<br>
