=== Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) === Bell's [[digital subscriber line]] (DSL) services are based on [[ADSL]], [[ADSL2+]] and [[VDSL2]] technology. The main differences in both equipments vary from the speed of signal, its length and its ability to overcome the noise of a phone line. Except for very few grandfathered customers, Bell has monthly data transfer limits for all of their tiered Internet services. Both downloads and uploads count towards the limit. The following Bell Internet services are only available in [[Ontario]] and [[Quebec]], and availability varies by region. Fibe services can only be used where [[Fiber to the x|fibre-to-the-neighbourhood]] (FTTN) technology is deployed. This currently includes urban [[Hamilton, Ontario|Hamilton]], [[Montreal]], [[Ottawa]] and [[Toronto]] as well as most major cities around GTA. Non-FTTN regions offer two plans: Bell Internet and Bell Internet Plus. Bell has simplified its DSL lineup to offer only two traditional plans and five FTTN plans. ==== Dry DSL ==== [[Naked DSL]], commonly known as dry DSL in Canada, consists of a DSL service without a traditional home phone service. Bell does not charge any additional fees for dry DSL service; previously, there was a charge of $4 per month. Bell charges resellers a monthly fee ranging from $7.25 to $25.10 and a one-time activation fee for dry DSL service. Although Bell still attributes a phone number to a dry DSL line, it cannot be used for phone calls. When one attempts to call a dry DSL phone number, they receive the following message: "The number you are calling cannot receive incoming calls. This is a recording." The message is then repeated in French.
