To get a true picture of cable vs. DSL, you also need to include the independent ISPs using the telcos' local loops. Bell has been bleeding internet customers to the independent ISPs as well. Why do you think Bell started throttling its wholesale customers? Telus seems to be holding its own in the high-speed Internet business, while Bell looks like a basket case.

Rogers had 745K cable telephony customers and 298K circuit-switch (Sprint) customers as of June 30. I've fixed my numbers. Thanks, Mark Wayne,

That doesn't smell right to me - I know lots of folks with Rogers internet but very few with Rogers phone and they have been selling internet services for about 10 years and phone for about 2-3 years.
