    N.W. Ontario Canada

    Where are you in NW Ontario? I know a very successful Fixed Income group trading out of Montreal, but they have remote traders in Ontario, all hooked up and communicating remotely. I personally trade remotely from Wasaga Beach, Ontario, but my group is in London, UK.

    Rogers told me they wouldn't install a business line to a residential address aswell. I am only offered the consumer products, whilst Bell installed Business line without asking too many questions.
