EVDO, the "new Bell wireless thing" is only around 2.4 Mbps.  There is
a 25 Mbps service being rolled out, but you can only get 5 of actual
internet off it - the other 20 are being used to deliver IPTV.  2
channels at 10Mbps per.  Over a traditional phone line, currently only
rolled out to a few CO's.

But screw the next-gen DSL.  I'd like some FTTP please :-)
