Well I'm coming up on a year

and I have to say that this service has been incredibly consistent. Two lines and the Canada wide LD package.

Outside of a couple of issues at startup and a glitch with the upgrade (which is completely uinderstandable), it has been flawless.

To all at FPL, thanks so much! I am pretty sure I have another friend that will be switching soon. I guess they all wanted me to be the guinea pig

Yep. Pretty much happy with Service. Although since switching to TekSavvy I having problem every day. But I don't think its due to FPL. Must be TS or My Router.
If my problem persist then will buy PAP2 from FPL and new router. Lets see what happens.

But Very Happy with Switching from Bell to FPL.

EDIT: Lets see the new Bell/CRTC hoopla affect anything with these phone service. Like Bell charging FPL a certain amount for each number.

That won't happen - with Fibernetics being a CLEC, we own our own number blocks and do not buy/lease any DIDs from Bell.

Just curious, do you have to pay for the number blocks?

By the way, I ported in my Bell line to FPL today. It is nice to be Bell free.

From my limited understanding on how the industry works, Fibernetics would have probably paid some sort of initial registration fee on 'owning' the number blocks. Don't know if they do have to pay to keep the block of numbers as phone numbers are public resources as defined by the CRTC...

I'm probably not the best resource to ask regulatory questions to, but yes, a fee is involved to attain the numbers.

We pay for these blocks of numbers and put them in our DID Inventory, there are then no other costs associated with the telephone numbers aside from the usage that is incurred to them from our customers, and even that is minimal.

As for Steves comment here:

He is correct, rather it is the opposite; we lease/sell number on a wholesale basis to other providers that do not have CLEC status.
