It used to be the case that green-field developers would choose which of Rogers or Bell to contract to wire up their development. Not both.
My condo was built 32 years ago and had both Bell and McLean Hunter. Shortly after I moved in, Rogers bought MH. Back then Bell was phone only and Rogers TV only. Neither had Internet. This was around the time I first got on the Internet via dial up, from io.org with a SLIP connection, as PPP wasn't yet popular. Since I had a SLIP connection, I had a static IP address, as it couldn't automatically configure the connection the way PPP does. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
