[GTALUG] an odd question about well on going service factors.

| 1. your provider has no idea if those residing at an address are family or
| not...making that a non -point.

Read the agreement between your landlord and Bell.  We are telling you 
what it says but we are not 100% reliable.

Some provisions are perhaps unenforceable by law.  I would not want 
to enter a legal fight with Bell to find out.

Violations of some provisions are technically hard for them to discover.  
But they are still violations.

(Example: when I first got Rogers at home broadband internet service, it said 
I could only have one computer on it (no other consumer devices had 
ethernet anyway).  I used a Linux box as a gateway router and violated 
that term.  I would have argued that there was only one computer directly 
connected to their services.  This was before consumer routers were 
available.)

| 2. Rogers is not bell.

Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dee.

As oligopolist, they pretty closely match each other.
