A view from Canada: Re: The ADSL Tease: Why Super-Fast, Cheap Access Is Taking So Darned Long Written by Paul De Groot on Tue Aug 4 16:38:56 1998 To: The ADSL Tease: Why Super-Fast, Cheap Access Is Taking So Darned01.gif Message Number: 209575 The U.S. experience is interesting, because in Alberta, Canada, the major telephone company has taken a very aggressive approach to ADSL. It's available in the two major cities, Edmonton and Calgary, at a price of $50 Canadian which includes unlimited Internet access and download speeds of 2.5 megabits per second. Given that this company doesn't even have an unlimited access plan for dial-up, it's an incredible deal. This package is offered by the telco's ISP arm. Its networking arm, which does the T-1s and other stuff, also sells ADSL quite aggressively, and does custom installs of ADSL in out-of-the-way regions which aren't close to the major wire centres. I should note that I'm a consultant to this company (in a non-ADSL part of the company), but all this information is public. I'm not sure that people around here really understand what a deal they're getting, but most of the people I know who have it are very positive about it. The company has more than 1,000 customers on it right now. Paul De Groot Pica Communications Inc. community.zdnet.com
