Editing Bell Internet (section)

== Hardware ==
When Bell started its DSL Internet service, then known as Sympatico, it simply offered one [[DSL modem]], the [[Nortel]] [[1-Meg Modem]], which connected to only one computer. Later, it added more models with [[routing]] and [[wireless LAN]] capabilities built-in, eliminating the need to purchase additional hardware. Customers previously had to pay extra for such capabilities. Today, both of these features are standard in both all-in-one devices Bell lends to its customers. Standard DSL customers must rent Bell's 2Wire 2701HG-G device, which can create [[IEEE 802.11g-2003|802.11g]] wireless access point. VDSL customers consist of any service with more than 1&nbsp;Mbit/s of upload speed, and they must rent the Cellpipe router [[IEEE 802.11n-2009|802.11n]]-capable device instead, which also bundles a superior DSL modem.
