I'm curious as to how Bell can stay in business with such a price differential between themselves and a competitor.
I think it's a combination of several factors:
1- Many people still have no clue how computers and the internet work.
2- Therefore they don't really shop around and go for the safe bet.
3- Bell is having truly massive publicity campaigns.
4- Bell is also heavily promoting similarly priced offerings, but with much lower value (slow connection, small bandwich cap, etc.), which they obviously don't go out of their way to point out.

Taken together, a lot of people go with Bell simply because they don't know better. And it's how it can stay in business.

And yeah, btw, like I mentionned earlier, at 22$, Bell is making money reselling those lines, which truly show you how absurd DSL prices are in the US!
