As far as I know DSL is always over copper phone lines. When I enter my
address and phone at the NCF website I am not offered any of the higher
speeds that would indicate Fiber. For either Residential or
Organizational service.

Is Digital Service Line sometimes over fibre optic cables?
I mean, the internet service will depend on what cables etc exist
between you and where you're trying to connect.
NCF also has access to higher speeds and bandwidths, the speed
'close to you' depends on the wiring 'close to you' I think... but
the business services can sometimes be much higher... I think fiber
optic is considered a 'class A' type of speed of systerm if I
remember correctly.

I wandered around their site. It appears the only high speed
access they offer is DSL. No mention of Fiber or Cable at all.

I'm on National Capital Freenet over Bell lines. However, I
think you'd
want to check that NCF can meet your needs. I suspect "yes".
start.ncf.ca <http://start.ncf.ca> for info.

My ISP has raised prices. Time to find a new ISP.
Would like one that can run over the Fiber that Bell
installed on our street last year, but I don't want Bell.
Would like an ISP that offers no-charge overnight usage.
For example my current ISP offers a free window between
2am and
8am.
I intend to run a VOIP service. Based on cost, probably
not the one offered by the ISP.
So far my Google-Fu leads me to believe that such an ISP
does not exist.
Any suggestions from the list?
