Joe,
I'm assuming from your domain that you're in Canada where yes dry pairs are
still generally available. I apologize for not making it clear that my
comment was specifically about the US where dry pairs are nearly impossible
to order today and the CLEC market has almost entirely abandoned the
residential space. In fact, the only state in the US that I still see any
residentially focused CLECs is Texas which tells me there is something
about the regulations in that state that makes it more feasible.
