Bell says they’re launching a “fiber” service in the Montreal area. I’m guessing it’s not all the way to the home so it’s really just “fiber closer to your home”. What I love about the press release is that it essentially promotes rampant piracy…

Optimax, as it’s called, is available in selected areas of Montreal now and is priced at $65 per month for 10 Mpbs or $80 per month for 16 Mbps. Sympatico Optimax includes up to 75 GB of bandwidth usage, or the equivalent of over 15,000 music downloads. Availability and pricing of the service in Toronto will be announced at a later date.
