The CRTC is a cruel joke for consumers. It's far too industry-friendly and has allowed Robellus to get away with awful shenanigans and anti-competitive behavior for decades.

I fully agree with Don that this is a human rights issue, and following that path will likely achieve better results than fighting Bell on their turf.
Again, can the CRTC force Bell to provide obsolete service? What if Bell has abandoned or removed the copper cable to her neighborhood? What if they've removed the necessary equipment from their office? How are they supposed to provide the service? Well..... They actually can.
I have a rural cottage with a pulse dial phone on a party line. The CRTC forced Bell to keep providing that service in rural Ontario(Canada?) -- Alvin Starr || land: (647)478-6285 Netvel Inc. || Cell: (416)806-0133 alvin@netvel.net ||
