| question regarding dry dsl from teksavvy
Hello technical supporters Teksavvy
Currently I am with bell sympatico and I'll be jumping onto the Teksavvy's train as soon as my contracted is end with bell. I am looking at the dry dsl with residential service package as far as know that there varies of band for dry loop and I know nothing about. I live in Toronto. I dont know what band rate is right for me, so can you please provide me details about bands rate.
In the future, hope it wont be long. I am going to sign with teksavvy for the residential package for 29.95+ 10/month for the band "b". is that the only price I'll be paying for the dryloop service's of dsl. for the modem I'll be looking into rent to own or I may shop for a adsl odem online. |

| The band fee that you pay is determined by what Bell has classified your address as. Downtown cores are usually A, medium density suburbia of a large city is B, and so on. The only way to know which band you're in is to check your phone number (or a nearby one). |

Can it be determine by the postal code instead of the phone number? |

| Theoretically, yes. In practice, no. You may want to call TekSavvy and try to work out with them which band you're in.
Is it not possible to enter a neighbour's phone number to find out which band you're in? If you live in an apartment building, you can use the building's office number. |

said by Guspaz  :Theoretically, yes. In practice, no. Precisely. There's no direct mapping between exchanges (or NPA-NXX) and municipal names or postal codes, essentially because exchanges do not follow municipal boundaries. One postal code may overlap multiple exchanges and one exchange may overlap multiple postal codes.
Interestingly, I believe that Bell does something related to this magic for things like 310 calling and some other services (I don't mean 911 though). |
