   Even with third party ISPs you're not entirely immune from Bell/Rogers.   
      
   On the Saturday afternoon of the holiday weekend, my Teksavvy dsl went   
   down. It later transpired that some Bell tech working in the box around   
   the corner had kindly rewired a neighbour's incoming line into my   
   house-feed. So calls to his number went to me and my dsl went out on the   
   wrong line. My incoming lines were hanging free in the box (which should   
   have flagged the tech that something was wrong in itself) so calls to my   
   number went into the æther.   
      
   I have to say though that Teksavvy is starting to look more and more   
   like a big player. 2hr 7min 41 sec on Saturday, before I finally managed   
   to connect with tech support. Then  a further 1hr 20m Sunday morning and   
   40m Sunday afternoon before I could get back to them with the results of   
   the mandatory troubleshooting so they could open a ticket with Bell. I   
   realise it was a long weekend, but that's the business (24/7).   
      
   (And don't get me started on  TS accounts dept).
