1 edit | Who's the first to try Fibe 25? Whoever gets Fibe 25 using VDSL2 and the new modem please report:
1. Speeds - up and down
2. Throttling - same as ADSL2+ ?
3. Modem signal stats
4. Wireless range
5. Setting up applications on the modem
6. Easy to disable gateway functions and use just as modem? |

remember it's up to and NOT FIBER to the home... be careful.
plus the 20 to 75 gig caps (depending where you are) really don't make it worth it in my mind. |

3 edits | Although it's not FTTH it does use VDSL2 and I'm curious as to how the service will perform in general. It's not all that much more $$ than Fibe 16/Max 16 and is the new competitor to Rogers Extreme Plus.
And the 75GB cap is not so bad if you add 40GB for $5. |

I wonder if its still PPPoE on VDSL2, and if the 25meg is the sync rate, or actual rate.
If its 25meg sync rate, then get ready to lose about 4-5meg of actual performance on the overhead.

They are a public company trying to make as much revenue for their shareholders. |

I only use around 10 GB per month and i mostly upload so for me the 7mb upload is a big factor.
I currently have the fibe 16 service so im pretty sure of getting the speed and also that im at less than 400m of wire length from the remote help a lot. |

i think this package benefits the heavy uploaders. I'd rather take the Rogers Extreme plus package with more bandwidth. |

The remote needs to have the VDSL card, not all of them have it even if you can get 16Mpbs. |

I know it doesn't mean anything but my remote was installed 4 years ago so i guess they would have time to change.
Also i did call bell back to confirm for tommorow and there was no issue but we never know. |

You're right, 75GB is too low. They should have made it around 125GB to compete with Extreme Plus.
However, for $10 you can add 80GB. |

Are you getting a tech visit Mont? I would think you would need a VDSL2 modem, which for Bell would be an Alcatel-Lucent Cellpipe. |
