A local loop can also be a line that passes by Bell Canada switch but eventually gets the dialtone from localcomp (local competitor like Rogers) as Bell Canada techs term it. Bell Canada provides the line and the line to goes through their switch in order for them to be able to test the circuit when needed. I believe localcomps then interconnect at CO. Otherwise at OPI or JIWI it's still Bell's equipment. Who do you pay your bills to? Bell Canada?
