No, I understood perfectly
Up here, we seem to be actually getting regulation, of the DSL market at least. Cable's another issue entirely... but with the steady downward trend of the QoS at most of the local cable monopolies offset only by the climbing prices for the aforementioned service, I don't think it's going to last. The reason it "sucks to be you" is because you guys are in a place where the regulatory atmosphere is such that you get to deal with companies with a "license to steal and monopolize a supposedly regulated industry". Like I said... BellNexxia's on the road to getting quarterly spankings by the CRTC... and spankings by the CRTC (if they start to get pissed off at repeated bad behaviour) can hurt to the tune of millions, and on a couple of notable occasions within my memory, of literally a billion: Bell Canada, the wholly owned subsidiary of BCE that has the local phone and had the long distance monopoly in Ontario and Quebec once had to issue a refund to the tune of 114$ for the typical residential customer; I shudder to think what they had to give to the business customers, who tend to pay three to four times as much as residential customers do for services.
\r\n\r\n
So... if you're in telecom, and you start getting the signal that the CRTC commissioners are starting to get impatient with repeated malingering followed by prevarication, it usually pays to take note.
