    Most of us do. Rogers and Bell (the only companies we can get internet infrastructure from) don’t often sell internet on its own. You usually have to get a cable or home phone package with it.

      That’s not true, I’ve been with Bell for 10+ years and they’ve always had an internet only option. In fact, I know they still do. So does East Link.
