=== 2000s: Value-added services and rebranding ===
Starting in Summer 2003, Sympatico tried to differentiate its service from its competitors by adding [[value-added service]]s. This meant the launch of Radial Point's (formerly Zero Knowledge) suite of [[antivirus]], [[Firewall (networking)|firewall]] and [[spyware|anti-spyware]] services. Although a fee was originally required, this is no longer the case, as Bell now provides the service at no extra charge for DSL customers. In 2004, Sympatico added a [[wireless]] modem-router hardware upgrade and Microsoft's [[MSN Premium]] software to its portfolio. In Summer 2007, Sympatico packaged its Security suite and [[wireless]] home networking modem together with its high speed offering as Sympatico Total Internet.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bell.ca/Bell_Internet|title=Bell Internet|work=bell.ca}}</ref>

Bell Sympatico changed its name to Bell Internet on August 8, 2008, in conjunction with the [[Today Just Got Better]] [[rebranding]]. Bell subsidiaries [[NorthernTel]], [[Télébec]] and [[Northwestel]] continue to brand their Internet services as Sympatico, and users receive an @ntl.sympatico.ca, @tlb.sympatico.ca, or @sympatico.ca email address, respectively.
