There is Bell Fibe TV and Bell Fibe Internet. According to my 
promotional materials both services are required. It appears that to get 
Bell Fibe TV, I will have to get Bell Fibe Internet.

Ooops. I think it's the advertised price for Bell Fibe TV which requires 
the subscription to Bell Fibe Internet.

Reading Bell's fine print, I can understand the populist animosity 
towards lawyers in our society.
