Also don't forget you may be routed on a much worse line where your signal takes a shit and your sync drops to 3 or worse.

As Riplin said, almost with a certainty, that Bell will at some point in the future pull you from the remote and put you on the CO.

If you can afford it switch to Cable instead and get Voip at home for your home phone. With VOIP.MS it is costing me less than $5 a month.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958371 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 13:22:49 EDT Re: If I were to cancel my Bell landline at home... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958200 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958200 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:26:14 EDT Re: If I were to cancel my Bell landline at home... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958168
There are no dryloop fees at ElectronicBox and I was reading a thread on digital forum where it was offered by Bell to IISP's in Quebec and Ontario to curb the exodus of people to cable.

Nothing more substantial to back it up though.

I would recommend going what ever route that does not involve paying a dry-loop fee]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958168 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:14:55 EDT Re: If I were to cancel my Bell landline at home... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958145 said by Dunlop:

I thought Bell was having a promo with TPIA's where Dryloop fees were waived with new activations?

TPIA = cable, no dry-loop fee.

There was a wholesale promo in early 2011 where activation fees were waived for subscribers upgrading from ADSL1 to ADSL2/VDSL2 tiers. Many people upgraded back then to avoid the $95 activation.

I do not remember reading about more wholesale promos since.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958145 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:09:56 EDT Re: If I were to cancel my Bell landline at home... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958064 said by Trisomy21:

you'd need dry loop, price depends on the band rate of the area.
So at the very least you're looking at $7.25 a month.

Dry Loop Band A $7.25 / month
Dry Loop Band B $9.10 / month
Dry Loop Band C $10.22 / month
Dry Loop Band D $10.98 / month
Dry Loop Band E $15.91 / month
Dry Loop Band F $16.20 / month
Dry Loop Band G $25.10 / month

thats a rip off as bell doesnt charge that to its own customers thus the costs of net are inflated by the dry loop band cost.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958064 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:49:24 EDT Re: If I were to cancel my Bell landline at home... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958062 said by selece:

Like the subject line says, if I were to cancel my Bell landline at home, what (if anything) do I need to do to keep my DSL as is?

Additional info:
- 416 area
- High Speed DSL 6

... have been contemplating switching to cellphone only... I did a little bit of a search on the forum, but asking again doesn't hurt I think ;)

Thank you ~

I shall forward this over to the direct forum for exact prices ~

I'm hoping this will be fairly painless if we go through with it...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27958005 Tue, 29 Jan 2013 11:31:55 EDT Re: If I were to cancel my Bell landline at home... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-If-I-were-to-cancel-my-Bell-landline-at-home-27957641
In most cases things go smoothly, but be prepared for a few days downtime which [u]COULD[/u] be a possibility if the Bell techs get things mixed up as it does happen from time to time.
