Would like the NFL ticket thing, but even if I could get it I would not be willing to pay that much anyways lol.

In toronto, its like everyone knows the channel line up for cable, and many cities are like that. I guess time warner would be the same. I work for Bell Canada and I sell Bell TV, yet I don't like it lol. Need a true cable system, true landline system and GSM wins most everywhere hands down. But cable will probably just become another part of the IP as IPTV will become available to consumers soon in Canada.
