ADSL signal: Still Mediocre after Downgrade! |
I thought i had left ADSL for cable but it turns out that ADSL
didn't leave me just yet! Lucky me, i had the idea to call the
ISP just to make sure their files showed that i had cancelled,
euh... But i discovered instead that i can still connect - even
if Bell's dial tone is gone, actually... That's Bell's last trick but
i didn't fall for it: they made it look like my phone line & ADSL
signal were both dead but it seems my InterNet access with
VelCom was down on a temporary basis only (it came back
on line after i disconnected every single wire from Bell). Well,
the ADSL signal is even worst than it was before anyway and
i'm not blaming VelCom for it: my last capture shows i was
right as hell to switch to cable! Bell downgraded me to 3008/
800 Kbps and the link still fails to be reliable, can you believe
it?! Of course you can, there's plenty of horror stories besides
mine on this web site alone! Oh and my CRC Error Rate remains
astronomical, of couse!... Why am i not really surprized?!...

| lol and snr of 4. Lower the rate and all is fixed, per Bell. heh. That craphole of a company will never change.
Leaving DSL is the best thing for you, your sanity, your hair, and your blood pressure. That's right. Bell causes premature balding as well, in case no one knew. |

1 edit | MouHa! Ha! Ha! Quite right, Bell's horrendous service can
affect other aspects of life negatively, not just DSL alone:
health costs may come to mind indeed!!!

Remembering the days before your cable connection? |

| Nah, one more day and it was sealed for lack of activity, actually!...
But a post seemed to justify that i keep it around for a while longer:
»Re: Velcom rant
Of course chances are there will never be an update from that one.
