Re: Bell Internet Max 16 Fibre. is it really maxed ?
said by rik  :Hi, I have availability to this Fibre network, and I'm about 1km from the C.O. in downtown Ottawa area. It would be mostly shared between 3 to 4 Internet users. I realize with throttling,... the 1Meg up/16 Meg down won't be a reality but is it still fairly good ?, stable ?, ...? I'm pondering about getting it, and would appreciate any constructive feedback from anyone who has this Bell Max Fibre 10/16. thanks all. Rick. Dont let the Fibre term fool you. Its fibre in the co or fibre to the remote. After that, its copper to your modem.
Max 10/16 is a crap shoot, it will either work or it will work poorly. Feedback is useless as each circumstance is different. |

But if really lives at 1KM from the CO... he doesn't even need fiber optic to acheive 16MBPS... just the right slam. |

| i dont see a point f 16megs on bell when you got dpi..
bell needs to roll out a ultra cheap $10 option where i can surf and check email at 1 meg...
gone are the days when paying for broadband was worth it. It'll take bell a few years to realize what they have done. |

| nice thanks Angelo.
I guess I was pipe-dreaming again being it was Canada Day when I was thinkin about gettin' this Max 16
-it looks good though on their web page.
a couple more questions:
Aren't the CO's already Fibred? -Its been years since I worked for Bell
-I guess they don't actually put you on Fibre from their CO to your telephone pole ? or do they ?
How about puttin up Fibre from pole -> demarcation point(into house). anyone tried that?
In the meantime, I'll try n talk with their lying sales reps to find out.
-------------------------------------------------
Yes I agree finally that, gone are the Days when we were #1 BW country and the mighty Bell and Nortel could have Fibre'ized all the urban areas. We are just junk now compared to many other countries as far as bang per buck goes Internet-wise.
Happy BellCanada Day

"Not all of them are wired for Fslam or CO oslam"

"No they dont, but if they did, Bell would be #1 DSL provider"

"Cost prohibative and will not provide better DSL" |
