That's scary stuff. Do you have a URL with this information?

Since I'm considering revamping my phone/Internet setup at home, how about a
section on the GTAlug wiki about the various DSL providers? I see queries
every now and then on the mailing list, and it happens often enough that I
think it would be worthwhile to have current information posted there. For
example, I've heard good things about TekSavvy, although I'm with Sympatico
right now.

Also, I'm being hounded by Rogers Home Phone (*two* calls within four days)
and would like to get similar information posted about Skype/Rogers Home
Phone comparisons.
