Bell Canada most certainly does provide CPD (they drop battery) -- The x100p is just a specific brand of winmodem, and if you buy the same chipset modem as the x100p, you may still have a variety of hybrid circuits to deal with. It's a good starter card for getting one's feet wet, but it's important to keep in mind that the problems the the x100p has aren't indicative of VOIP in general. -A.
