BCE, peers, debt equity ratio not that bad BDC.ca- “Although it varies from industry to industry, a debt-to-equity ratio of around 2 or 2.5 is generally considered good.

They made money selling MLS bought Ziply, acquired small amount of debt and are taking steps to manage this -if it was a big problem why didn’t they take other steps to pay this down, with interest coming down and freezing their quarterly divvy and other steps to manage it. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I do have confidence with BCE and what they are doing to grow-especially having to deal with the CRTC. NOW in the USA market you own your lines -and yes they don’t have to share their Fiber lines.

What use the money to pay of debt and not expand in a Canadian market as it was apparent to Mirko an opportunity presented it self and he took it and not bad with over 400mil in revenue and growing; but hay, who’s to say that BCE can’t use T lines or for that matter Cogeco?
