<title>Ottawa South Highspeed - WOW!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23377314</link>
<description><![CDATA[My parents just got us hooked up with a new ISP called Ottawa South Highspeed. 

its absolutely insane! im getting like 16mb/s download AND upload!  our other two companies (rogers and bell) were absolutely terrible, then my dad found one of the pamphlets and gave it a shot.  best thing we ever did internet wise...Ive never had such consistent and fast internet in my LIFE, if you use msn or facebook or torrents or youtube and live in this area you would be crazy not to try OSH.]]></description>

<title>Question for DSL Co CEO&#x27;s - Competition Bureau do u use it?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23387724</link>
<description><![CDATA[Have you guys leveraged this agency yet?

For years of working in the PC business I found it a very powerful deterrent to stop FutureShop from running false promos.   

Bell has done numerous anti-competitive measures in this industry.    Have any of you filed formal complaints with them?

I can tell you I've had some discussions with them and they're certainly have Bell on their Radar for other reasons.   They claim no one is coming forward from the industry and actually filing any complaints.]]></description>

<title>Help/Advice with my Line Statistics please</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22257017</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello.  I have always had a problematic line but a few years ago, I was able to get them to cut some wiring dead-ahead to get a stable 1728/640 (interleaved) using my trusty old Speedtouch Home.  A few months ago, I asked my ISP, Velcom, to ask Bell to examine my line statistics again because I had a different modem hooked up that was capable of RE-ADSL (reach extended) in the form of a Speadtream 5200 E242. They were able to changed by profile to 2496/800 fast path, with no to very few errors and the RX SNR usually ranged between 10 to 14 decibels.

A few days ago, the phone line "gremlins" have resurfaced.  Interestling enough, I have always received better line statistics inside the house than when I hook my modem directly to the jack at the demarcation point (bridge tap at work here? extra 100 or 200 meters inside my house adding more distance making a better connection?).  Before Bell changed the profile yesterday to 2496/640 interleaved, I went to the demarc and got about 1850/800 with SS5200 and about 1000/800  with ST516 (this modem really didn't like something at the demarc!)
- but a little higher with the SS5200 and a lot higher with the ST516 if connected inside the house.
You will notice that I have tried 2 different modems to rule that out as the problem.  I have tried a different phone wire and have tried different jacks within my house.  I have even hooked up to the demarcation point (with even worse results).

In the picture are the line stats from my ST516v6 and in the text below are statistics from my SS5200 E242.  SS5200 E242 is a lot more aggressive in connecting at higher speeds but results in more errors.  ST516 refuses to connect at higher speeds for the "bad" portions of the signal but that results in much more stability (is more fussy and won't connect at rx snr below 7.0).  I have a Bell techncian coming today to look at the line.

Advice/thoughts/insight?  Thanks.

<title>New Ottawa ISP - Anyone Know About This One?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23343605</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi all.  Just got a flyer at the door about a new ISP that serves a limited area in Ottawa South.  They are called Ottawa South Highspeed and their website is www.oshwcn.ca

They offer a wireless service with very high speeds of up to 25Mbps.  Between the stuff on the flyer and their website they answer most of the questions I'd have of what I'm looking for if I were to switch ISP's.

Anyone heard of these guys?  I'm *content* with my current service but the things these guys claim to provide is way crazy better than I get now.  Of all the things I look for in an ISP reliability and uptime are of the utmost importance hence why I would hesitate to switch.  One good thing is they don't ask for a contract so I may try them out for a couple months to see how things go.]]></description>

Any suggestions as to which company we can call for pricing and good upload speeds. 

Thanks.]]></description>

Thanks!

<title>How to make your CIA/3Web Internet become 10mbps/1mbps</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23281334</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok, folks before I continue I only know how to do this only when you have their Internet + VoIP combo. I have both. But my speeds suck.



I don't have anything being downloaded or uploaded. Currently in my system tray there are

KIS 2010 (not being updated)
FastStone Capture
MeGUI (not being updated)

I checked my "Task Manager" and there's nothing I know that consumes a lot of bandwidth/speed. The other computers on the network are shutdown so they can't be using the speed.

My network path



But if I do a factory reset to the SPA2102 VoIP modem using the phone which will erase the dial tone but you will get full or more speed than you did before. See this, I did this test the time I didn't have my dial tone.

My speed without dial tone



The speed is better but I don't have a live home phone anymore. That's the only down part right now but I would really appreciate any help regarding this problem. I want to have dial tone this speed above.

EDIT: If you are wondering why my test servers aren't same, that's because when I had dial tone in the phone the "Hamilton" server didn't come up as "Recommended" but came up as "Recommended" when I didn't have the dial tone. By the way, I tested all the yellow servers on speedtest.net to make sure I pick the best speed I could get.

<title>Bill C-36 odd ammendment</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23390715</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was reading through bill C-36. The decided to look up the Security of Information Act since it has amendments in it.

Retaining or allowing possession of document, etc.

(4) Every person is guilty of an offence under this Act who
(a) retains for any purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the State any official document, whether or not completed or issued for use, when he has no right to retain it, or when it is contrary to his duty to retain it, or fails to comply with any directions issued by any Government department or any person authorized by any Government department with regard to the return or disposal thereof; or
(b) allows any other person to have possession of any official document issued for his use alone, or communicates any secret official code word or password so issued, or, without lawful authority or excuse, has in his possession any official document or secret official code word or password issued for the use of a person other than himself, or on obtaining possession of any official document by finding or otherwise, neglects or fails to restore it to the person or authority by whom or for whose use it was issued, or to a police constable.Does this mean, that if I utter a word of the ACTA, or retained parts of it (which is secret trade negotiation). I could be jailed?]]></description>
