Re: Bell sucks!
This is true, but it's definitely shorter than 4.5km. |

That may not be a DSL remote. And 3000 feet as the bird flies is a lot longer as the wire goes. |

That would explain it because I could of sworn there was a remote 3000 feet away from my house. It's a brick shed with a Bell logo and I often see a truck working on it.
You can even see a truck by it on Google Maps.

said by Barry  : It baffles me how there is no remote in my area as the CO is 5km away. I guess 2500 houses isn't enough to justify the expense. There likely IS a remote in the area, but most often, they are reserved for Sympatico customers only. The rest of us all can sneeze into the wind. 
Too many horror stories in this forum someone having good speed on Sympatico, switching to (your choice) ISP, and getting knocked off the remote back to CO.  |
