    The resellers still use (and pay fees to) those incumbent networks who own the physical infrastructure.

    And they’re reliant on those networks they are competing with to respond to outages in a timely manner.

    You’re fooling yourself is you think you are significantly hurting “the big guys” by going with a reseller.

    The only reason to go with a reseller is if they offer better plans.

      I refuse to deal with Bell. Even more so because they are the only fiber provider and refuse to resell to a local ISP so I don’t have to call a Bell number ever.

        I’m with you there I just recently took ctv off my rss feed. Let’s starve the beast.

        Unfortunately I’m stuck with Rogers for my isp line.
