Except they're hardly any small ISPs left. ROBeLUS bought lost of them.
I'm with TekSavvy, but last I heard they're also selling...
Heard that rumour, too, but it remains to be seen. I'm holding out hope
It may stop the effort if they are able to offer fibre at low cost.
Oh fuck no, say it ain't so!!
This article from The Globe and Mail in June seems to be the only mention of it, from what I can find.
Good news: they're no longer selling. Their press release in response to the CRTC decision says at the end, "TekSavvy further confirmed that it is not currently for sale".
Yeah, I'm with EBox but they got bought by Bell. I am awaiting the degradation of service.
Assuming the setup ends up similar to how it is in NZ, the barrier to entry to either found a new ISP, or for an existing ISP (even from another area) to set up shop, is really really low.
We now have far too many fibre ISPs and resellers to keep track of - a few dozen. It's like the days of dial up.
