Need an ISP in TO

[Joseph Kubik]

Are you in a shared or standalone building? (is your dmark accessible?)

Try taking the phone down and plugging directly into the dmark next
time the line is bad. If the building is unplugged and the line is
still bad, have no fear, it's bell's fault.

P.S. I am having bell issues as well.
