I did some looking around and it does appear that Bell has ended it's
throttling practices, at least as far as wholesale market, so Teksavvy
should be fine without MLPPP. I can probably also get rid of my static IP
and save a few bucks. I was only keeping that because it meant I didn't
have to pay extra for MLPPP. I really want to sign up for their fibre
service. Only ten bucks more and I think I get like ten times the speed I
get now.

According to Teksavvy, anyhow :-)
