   Re: Recent news have shown that Bell's IPTV offering is starting to steal   
   customers from Rogers. So Rogers will want to get rid of the old   
   analogue in order to spruce up its offering. to compete against Bell's.   
      
   Where did you dream this shit up? You could count the number of blithering   
   idiots including HiVolt that subscribe to Bell's IPTV on one hand without   
   using the thumb. That's right two or three at the most clueless fuckwits.   
   They get clued in when they get the bill at the end of the month and end up   
   declaring personal bankruptcy all thanks to Bell.
