How can they be losing money on a $53/m plan with a $95 activation? Bhell fees can't be that high.

I wonder if/when TSI will be matching 175/175 or even 50/50.

The activation goes to Bell, they charge the ISPs $100.

No one has access to the fibre based services via Bell and very unlikely they will anytime soon if ever.

I'm sure it'll mean another CRTC fight but last mile is last mile - copper, cable, or fibre

It would be nice but IISPs are already dealing with issues on the cable side as it is that have not been resolved. The pricing for backhaul needs to be significantly reduced to make the higher speeds for either cable or DSL feasible. Bell also needs to deal with the lack of 10Gb backhaul for the IISPs. They should have had that a few years ago.
