There is no way to avoid Bell since the physical phone line is provided by it. Once you are using DSL, you have to pay for the Bell line. That is the reason for ISP other than Sympatico charge you $10 for dryloop. This price is based on CRTC rules. Sympatico just waives this $10 for competition with other ISP since it comes from Bell.
To totally get rid of Bell, you have to use cable service which is not cheap as DSL and all have limitation of data.......
So no good deal at all......................i'm using Sympatico anyway before good cable deal..........
