 | Bell Throtlling and Nexicom In light of recent announcements of throttling and given that Nexicom obtains DSL from Bell, is there anything that Nexicom is doing? I pay for the 5Mpbs... I want that to at least be POSSIBLE. |

Not all our DSL comes via Bell Canada - can you send me a PM offline with your phone number and I can look it up? With your phone number I can verify if your DSL is being served via Bell equipment or Nexicom directly.

 | Can you tell me if the wireless service is connected to Bell in any way... I left them for Nexicom and had hoped to not have to deal with them again. |

Our wireless service is not related to Bell at all - never touches their network at any point....;)
Hope this helps!

 pstewartPremium,VIP join:2005-10-12 Peterborough, ON kudos:1 | reply to CanHasInternet Just wanted to drop another line on this topic - wanted to be clear that Nexicom itself has never and does not throttle at all. We've heard from a few customers who were confusing the fact that perhaps *we* were throttling and the answer is definately no.
We have no caps, no throttling, unlimited free premium newsgroups etc. etc....;) -- Nexicom High Speed Internet - »www.nexicom.net/ |

 lilbum join:2004-12-16 Peterborough, ON 1 edit | reply to CanHasInternet " Nexicom is a CLEC in Peterborough, so we have our own DSLAM co-located in the Bell CO in Peterborough and the throttling does not effect us. The copper pair going out to the residence/business leaves our DSLAM directly and goes out to the customer without going through any Bell equipment. " by bbuchanan
So does this mean there's a chance If your in Peterborough and have Nexicom it won't be throttled? As I was considering getting Nexicom. As I like your combo DSL & Phone package, plus I like the fact that you are a local company  |

 pstewartPremium,VIP join:2005-10-12 Peterborough, ON kudos:1 | That is absolutely correct if you are served via the main CO in Peterborough - hit me offline with your phone number and I can tell you what kind of speeds/service you should be expecting...;) |
