Looks like Bell canada has ended three month voip trials and is starting their new voip service in the Quebec area. Looks like VOIP is a big strategy within Bell with them recently signing a wVIOP deal. Good news is now we have 3 providers (as far as I know) Vonage Canada (my current provider), Primus, and now Bell. Bad news is CRTC is now looking into how to regulate VOIP service. Last time their ruling was “they do not regulate the internet“ but I guess now they think differently. If they do regulate VOIP it will probably mean prices go up but will also mean (hopefully) that the providers have to maintain a certain level of reliability with the service.
