He did one better, switched to SBC DSL. Not one problem in several years. |

said by DaSneaky1D :Yes, I'm aware. Cable services do not require a site visit, though... That depends, though. If you currently subscribe to TV service from your cable provider, then no, you don't need a site visit since you already are connected to their network.
But if you are a new customer, then you need a tech visit to either 1) connect the drop or 2) remove filters.
But yea, being able to do a self install with cable is a major plus. The fact that you can literally be up and running within minutes of purchasing/receiving your cable modem makes it so much easier to leave DSL immediately. |

Problem is, there ain't no Charter in Canada. Just Bell\Rogers, Bell\Shaw, bell\Cogeco... |

You're aware you're talking about companies in two different countries, right? I think it would be more relevant to ask what Bell's competition is doing. |
