150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal in Canadian Broadband http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22630375 en Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:27:31 EDT Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:27:31 EDT Re: 150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22745541 drewis : suspect
frigging suspect.

Im beginning to think that truely we ARE the 5% of users who know what the hell were doing, and in such no wonder why we're being throttled.. Since were such a small percentage of the subscribers, who cares about us? Who cares that a company is advertising 60/10 50/10 20/2... Only people that check e-mail and play web-based RPG's are going to sign up - for $150 + month - not us advanced users.

Who in the right mind would sign up for even a 20/1 tier with even a 150 gig cap?! What the HELL is the point in that with a cap like that.. Not to mention the overage charges seriously im going insane thinking about it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22745541 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 21:07:13 EDT Re: 150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22738008 olebiker :

You say that, but Bell proper charges $5 for 40GB rather than $20.
So what?

Still serves as one more proof that Bell's $1.25/GB UBB-GAS and Videotron's $8/GB on TPIA are disproportionate.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22704411 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 07:56:41 EDT Re: 150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22703300 Guspaz : You say that, but Bell proper charges $5 for 40GB rather than $20.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22703300 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 22:45:37 EDT Re: 150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22702062 InvalidError :

That's wonderful, but those caps are still a deal killer. Their offer to sell you more bandwidth in 40GB chunks for $20 a pop doesn't help.
At least it can still be used as yet more proof that the $8/GB in Videotron's TPIA and $1.25/GB from Bell's UBB GAS R&V are completely unreasonable from a retail perspective, even worse so for wholesale.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22702062 Mon, 13 Jul 2009 18:43:34 EDT Re: 150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22691468 cpsycho : I was just going by whats stated at the bottom of their web page.

It's not run as a Bell division, most of the people that were present before the buyout are still working for the company.

VDN = Fiber network, last-mile in coax for TV/Internet. Some of the newer MDUs are last-mile VDSL.

Bell and VDN customers are completely separated, VDN has their own support, billing, marketing stuff.

The new 20/40/60Mbps profiles are on VDSL.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22690498 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 09:01:42 EDT Re: 150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22686531 cpsycho : Bell is testing 20/40/60 speeds and trying to keep it under crtc's noses?

Wow, bell is got to be the most shady company out there. Atleast they beat rogers 50/2 for $150.

But only 120gb plans.... wow they still dont get it, especialy with the 2gb up speeds.

Seriously who in their right minds would need 50-60 down when you could only get 2 up, when most websites except the large ones. usually only allow 500kb downloads. I think Nvidia goes upto 1mb down and M$ as well, not many others out there that get that high.

Me I would want 25/25 and a 1000gb cap then I would be willing to pay over $150.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22686531 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 13:31:37 EDT Re: 150GB @ 20/40/60mbps coming to Montreal http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22680130 EUS : 3 & 1/2 up? Cool.

A guy in my building at 7400 Sherbrooke W was doing signups for VDN today (fiber-based cable and internet). Last I heard they were still offering a pitiful 10meg @ 100GB. So I quizzed the rep on that.

Long story short, VDN is launching 20/40/60Mbps tiers next month in their buildings in Montreal, at a 150GB cap. No prices yet.

It's better than Videotron, but still crap if you can get a decent sync with Colba. Though maybe I'll try it for a month anyways and give a review.
.... and the rabbit hole gets deeper and deeper! Uggh...

Though god help you if you go over their caps.

God never helped me or my parents when we went over our 20GB cap with Videotron and had to pay $20 in overages for those measly 2.5GB that I went over.

... Oh wait, we were supposed to be talking about VDN. Isn't VDN owned by Bell? Bell launching internet with speeds over 16Mbit/s?
