Several months ago IStop.com stopped accepting new non-PPPoE customers.
The purpose was to focus on PPPoE-based ADSL service, simplify the menu
of services, and streamline operations.

IStop.com intended to sell and transfer the existing non-PPPoE customer
accounts to another ISP.  An agreement was made with another ISP,
however Bell Canada refused to transfer the accounts in accordance with
the terms of their General Tariff Item 5420.

IStop.com has attempted to get the CRTC to intervene, but so far the
Commission has avoided any comment on the issue.  Rather than pursue
a formal complaint before the CRTC or pursue other legal remedies,
IStop.com has decided to end non-PPPoE services as of June 6, 2005.

Customers that choose to switch to PPPoE-based service will have the
activation fee waived.  For those that wish to continue to use a non-
PPPoE service, IStop.com is recommending EGate (www.egate.net).
    E-Mail: ho@egate.net
    Tel: 1 (416) 443-7936
    Tel: 1 (888) 404-8328x236

For subscribers switching from IStop.com, EGate will offer residential
service for $79 per month and business service for $99 per month.  The
activation fee is $199.  Both services include unlimited uploads and
50GB of downloads per month.
