| profile drop ?
I was wondering why this would have happened. I have been happily cruising along for the last year+ ta 5000/800 profile but i checked this morning in a whim and i have been dropped down to 4200/800. Would this be bell trying to screw with me since i transferred my phone account to teksavvy recently ? or just my bad luck. |

Re: profile drop ?
said by lcdguy  :i have been dropped down to 4200/800. There is no such thing as a 4200/800 profile. Most likely there is/was a problem on your line and your modem lowered the synch rate below your profile rate.
1. Power your modem off for a few seconds and then back on. What is your synch rate now?
2. Post your line stats here as reported by your modem so that we can get a better idea of the quality of your line.
Would this be bell trying to screw with me since i transferred my phone account to teksavvy recently ? Not likely, but it is hard to debunk conspiracy theories without cold, hard facts  |

It could be causing the change in speed. Make sure it has a filter on it. If you have extra filters, try connecting two filters one after the other. I've personally seen certain phones/faxes require two filters.
Also make sure the filters are not plugged in reverse. the "pigtal" should always be plugged into the wall jack, then the phone cable into the filter.

The MODEM cable doesn't get plugged into the filter. The MODEM should NOT be filtered, just the PHONE cables.
HiVolt was thinking one thing, and typed another. |

Not likely, but it is hard to debunk conspiracy theories without cold, hard facts I wouldn't be so sure. It seems Bell is starting to do this when they switch you form Bell home phone to teksavvy home phone.
It just happened to me, I was on a 6meg profile and they switched me to a f'n 3meg profile when they hooked up my teksavvy phone.
»To teksavvy and their new call back polocy & Shame on Bell |

They have been putting switchees on 3Mb/s profiles for at least a year. Same thing happened to me when I switched to TSI almost a year ago.
This may be related to the terms of the wholesale tariff. For sure you are not entitled to 6Mb/s. There may wording that BellER interprets to mean that 3Mb/s is the base profile (e.g. that may have been the standard profile when the tariff was originally agreed-to between BellER and CRTC.) |

well i doubt it's a profile drop. i switch the filter around and added another one on and voila.
and my dmt results for those interested. Not sure if it's good or not.

However, it's only 12 seconds of sync uptime, you should take a look after a day or so...

No I am not entitled to a 6Mb/s profile, but 5Mb/s is what I am entitled to, or how about not touching the service at all and just switch the phone over like they are supposed to do. |
