On topic now... anyone here on Optimax yet? I'd like to know whether or not they'll keep trying to push that pppoe stuff on us for this service.
Thx |

Mississauga, ON | I hate this. They're charging us $20/mo more for Optimax 16 in Ontario, and we get no additional benefits from it.
In fact, with the cap where it is, it's better to go with Rogers 18MB service for the price. Nice move Bell.

I miss the days when these two companies actually tried competing against one another. The only reason that Rogers hasn't set us up with higher speeds is because Bell hasn't been able to. Now that Bell can, Rogers will as well, only not in a competitive way.

Will their network actually be able to handle the throughput of a 16Mbit/s connection, though? Most networks are designed for a specific load. If you suddenly get a bunch of users who are exceeding what the network was designed for, it can fall flat on its ass.

True, though unless I don't know something they do, they can't avoid an overload like that since the connection speed is limited by the line card not the PPPoE login. |

1) The ISP may not actually limit at the switch level, which means you'll get your full 16Mbit/s - until everyone and their brother decides to buy a $10 unlimited login, and everyone is downloading at full speed 24/7. That ISP now has all their tier one bandwidth eaten up, and your unlimited 16Mbit/s connection is now a high-latency connection that barely struggles to get a few Mbit/s due to overloading.
2) The ISP may take the additional step of limiting at the switch level, at which point that unlimited login is useless to begin with.
