Learn From Mistakes Of Others

You would think Canadian ISPs would have taken a cue from what happened to DSL resellers in this country before using the back of a competitor to offer service.

Re: Learn From Mistakes Of Others

They aren't resellers in the same sense, and government regulation in place should have in theory prevented this.

Considering that DSL wholesalers have no choice but to use the services of the telco, to not do so would mean no competition at all (other than the cable operator and that's just a different crock of shit)

They are NOT DSL Resellers. These ISPs have their OWN transit network (Such as Cogent, Teleglobe, Peer1...) and use Bell's DSL network to provide the service.

Think of it as gaz pipelines, where Exxon from Alaska, pays Canada to deliver their product to the USA mainland.
The gaz is Exxon, they are not a reseller.
