If there's fibre to the property they'll sell you DSL only. But, few properties have fibre and it's likely the same price as if there was also a phone.

As I mentioned in a previous reply in this thread, we have ADSL only, via phone lines, from BellAliant. Still pretty pricey compared to UK prices, but it is just ADSL with no other services.

We had that from Bell at our last house. The slowest option. iirc it started at <$50/month but crept up to $65 or so over the two years we had it.

I have considered those but more as a stop gap (not really ideal for several devices unless you get a MIFI router or similar), long term I think I would like to have proper cable internet

When I say "cable", I`m talking about non fibre optic but regular broadband delivered via the phoneline (cable)
I`m not interested in TV

Television cable is available in most urban areas.

Do bear in mind that for cable (Bell is satellite and dsl line) who your provider will be is directly related to your address. Most of the cable companies have a designated area that they will provide services to, to the extent you can be on the same street but across from a main intersection and have a different provider servicing each (but not both).

So are you saying that despite the fact that you obviously are connected via a telephone line (as opposed to a fibre cable) you are only charged for broadband and nothing else (line rental etc like in the UK)?

Re: Decent ISP & Mobile Providers - Recommendations Please
How did you find the actual service? Did you see a consistent 7Mb as advertised? If so I`d be ok with that, particularly as its unlimited and $50/month is better than most of the packages Ive looked at
