Should I also mention that along with IP TV, Bell is also offering 16mbit fiber? Now that's ultra-highspeed...

Well bad copper POTS line or coax will never be overcome by superior tech so long as the supporting infrastructure sucks monkey nuts. We're at 10Mbit right now for Cogeco's standard cable ISP offering. It's more than I need, I suppose.
16Mbit FTTP? Hmm. A couple of months ago, I would have had need for that. Now? Not so much. It's cool that it's making it out there though.
