[GTALUG] revisiting, dsl modem ideas for bell?

[Karen Lewellen]

Thanks,
If I can find a way to get around their access issues, and it is still

have no issues buying a new one though, worth the investment for me.
Wonder if Bell stores have a factory outlet?
thanks for providing so much help,
Karen
