Re: Bell sucks! This picture of a demarc jack and 66 terminal is completely wired incorrectly. Also 66 style terminals are usually taken out and replaced with a screw type terminal using a Green Robertson. Just get rid of the 66 altogether. |

I was already bypassing the 66, but didn't have a camera to show an updated photo. Since I got a POTS splitter, I avoid the demarc jack as well.
What should I do now that I know there is a remote really close by, but Bell will not put me on it? Should I just keep asking for a line transfer until they cave?
It's really frustrating being on a 1mb profile when I could be getting a lot faster. |

Are you currently with TekSavvy or directly with BellER? I assume it is the former. You have one option but it could prove expensive and may not work in the end. You could switch to BellER, perhaps on the condition that they put you on a remote. Note that they may not accept that condition or if they do they may not put you on a remote, etc. Once at BellER, presumably now on a remote, you could switch back to TekSavvy, hoping that BellER does not then pull you off that remote. This is risky business. It will cost you in cancellation and transfer fees, etc., it may cause disruptions to your DSL service and administrative hassles for you. And in the end it may not result in any improvement.
Alternatively, (2) keep bugging TekSavvy to bug BellER, (3) look at other types of service like wireless, with their speed, bandwidth and cost limitations, (4) consider going back to cable or (5) learn to live with 1Mb/s.
Unfortunately none of these options are particularly attractive. |
