[GTALUG] Forced off DSL by Bell

[Don Tai]

When I got Bell Fiber to the home, they ripped out my copper. Rogers, on
the other hand still has their coax to my house. I've had very reliable
service with Bell FTTH for the last 5 years. Very reliable through all
weather. I even have pics of the FTTN install, and the outside connections.
