Most customers get it.)<br /><br />But alas, Bell sells long distance, which is why so many of us are with Primus.<br /><br />And cell phones, which is why I use Telus.<br /><br />And home satellite services, which is why I'm with Star Choice.<br /><br />And internet broadband services, which is why I chose Xplornet.<br /><br />Apparently somebody at the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan has noticed this. Bell's biggest shareholder is "exploring" its options.<br /><br />My advice: keep the beavers. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Lose the rest. </span></strong>dunfhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05036098701150196845noreply@blogger.com
