Acanac, subsidiary of distributel. But it's over cable so they pay Rogers for access to cable network.

I wish others could provide service over my cable. But the cable companies have arranged monopolies/duopolies with local government. If only the government (US) would regulate them like a utility then maybe we'd see some relief from competition. Fat chance that will happen with Trump.
 
On the other hand, my cable internet is rock solid. I rarely experience outages, get over 100M and there is no data caps. Still wish I could get some competition on the pricing.

Party doesn't matter when it comes to monopolies.

It's not a real monopoly. It's an agreed on duopoly that artificially limits competition. I don't mind regulation, but it needs to protect the consumers interest. Again, not gonna happen with a Trump administration. The swamp just gets deeper.
 
I know you're in Canada, but the (U.S.) Supreme Court ruled that corporations are like people and we must protect their right of "free speech". To this end, they can "give" as much money as they want to voice their "opinions". That means that their opinion matters more than mine.
