Re: are resellers really competition?

I still don't consider "resellers" to be competition. The DSL/Cables aren't going to sell their bandwidth so low, or rent their lines so low, that the competition will be able to undercut them.

You're also telling the companies that if you go and shell out all the money to lay down fibre/copper or whatever else, you've gotta share it... I've always wondered if that was a detractor for broadband improvement.
Look at Teksavvy's prices compared to Bell. MUCH cheaper than them with a higher cap and NO throttling. And they are resellers.

Do you really think Bell and TELUS and going to investing millions of dollars into GPON when the CRTC will make them handover the fiber to home to companies like TS etc.

Re: are resellers really competition?

after reading that, i crazy (huge emphasis on crazy) idea popped into my head. could resellers be hurting the upgrade to fiber? i probably should put down the pipe and pass it along.

Meh, i'd rather not have fiber at all than to have a connection that is crippled by low caps, blocked ports, and restrictive service agreements, which is the current state of affair with Telus's DSL service.
