They are at McLeod/Dorchester, Portage/O'Neil, Victoria/Armoury and Willoughby Dr (Chippawa) - all but the Victoria/Armoury are on remotes. The McLoed/Dorchester was installed years ago, before the remote, and only used to get about 512/256 interleave; remote went in within the last year, and now I'm 6012/800 fast on that one. All 5 are wholesalers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22607884 Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:54:49 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22602400 darknestgirl : @MizTEcK
you can come to »https://community.acanac.com/Acanac/ if you want help with your connection you will have more chance to get an answer ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22602400 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:21:49 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22602370 darknestgirl : Yes Bell tend to keep those remote for their own customers]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22602370 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 11:18:04 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22601751 MizTEcK : so if there's a remote at McLeod and Drummond, shouldn't I be getting really great speeds?

How do I go about getting Acanac to get me on a remote? or are they reserved for Sympatico customers only?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22601751 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 09:16:53 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22594659 anon : There very lousy depending on where you are.

As mentioned in here already there is only one CO on Victoria. There are remotes near Main and Ferry area, Drummond and Mcleod that I know of.

Many areas are on the fringe of signal. Between Victoria CO and Thorold Stone there are no remotes so the farther you go out from Vic CO till you get to Thorold Stone road the worse your sync gets. I assume there is probably a remote somewhere else in the north end but I don't know where.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22594659 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:34:15 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22594153 MizTEcK : so at Dunn and drummond getting 2500/668

not too bad, you will probably get a better test hence 3mbp should be no problem

cheers]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22594153 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 22:33:40 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22590906 MizTEcK : i just realized, is there only ONE central office terminal at Niagara Falls?

if so, my connection might be EXTREMELY UGLY!!! =(, Victoria is HELLA far from my place

But in any case, I will test it first before judging]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22590906 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:31:58 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22590637 l0thar :

Anyone in, or have friends in the Falls that knows what the DSL speeds are like around here? My address is about 11,000-12,000ft from the Bell bunker on Victoria.
That's about 3.5 km, according to my calculator. Your wire might be longer, since it joins other wires in a bundle and adds a bit to wire length.

Assuming 3.5 to 4 km wire length, you should be able to get 3 Mb/s synch, maybe a bit more. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22590637 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:43:11 EDT Re: Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22581789 MizTEcK : i just ordered Acanac in Niagara Falls, I can give you an approximate performance review in a few days (a week?).

location is around Dunn and Drummond for reference]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22581789 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:04:00 EDT Niagara Falls DSL speeds? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579348 AndrewG2 : HI guys,

Anyone in, or have friends in the Falls that knows what the DSL speeds are like around here? My address is about 11,000-12,000ft from the Bell bunker on Victoria.

I gather our exchange isn't the most up to date, which is one of the limiting factors.

Guess what I really want to know is anyone at all in the Falls getting better than 3Mbit.

I'm seeking alternatives, Cogeco has cap issues, price issues, support issues, billing issues, service issues and attitude issues, been rolling down a shallow hill for the last 3 years, but they just jumped off a cliff with the hard capping and price increases as far as I'm concerned... but whatever the ISP (teksavvy looks favorite) unless I can get a reasonable speed I'll have to suck it up with cogeco and wait to jump in on the eventual class action suit.

thanks for any info,

Andrew]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22579348 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 16:27:28 EDT
