Re: ikTel Networks - Niagara ISP said by AwolRJ:I am only getting 1 mbps upload but the full 16 download? I seen the one guys got his full upload speed I wonder whats the issue on my end? Doesn't really matter though still twice as fast as Bhell 1Mbit/s upload is normal. The profile speed is 16/1. You're getting exactly what you're paying for. |

I cant wait for mine to be hooked up. My DSL went down last night at 5am an is still not back up. I still have my service for at least another month. The funny thing is my tethered 3g connection is faster than my DSL. |

I just got mine installed. I can't believe I lasted this long on a 3 mb dsl. I'm getting my full 14 mb down and 1 up just can't believe it is so fast. All o want to do is download so I can watch it. |

| Hello everyone,
I was just hooked up today and I'm running Cogeco and Iktel at the same time so comparisons will be made. So far I would say that Iktel is still a good choice but it looks like there are more than just a few subscribers for the available bandwidth.
I also have been experiencing disconnects and short service "hiccups" of the kind I don't usually get with Cogeco. See the following:
Anyway it should be interesting seeing how things go as Iktel expands. Could other Iktel subscribers confirm these results because it just might be my setup that is causing the problem? |

| The only time my mother ever experience anything like that was when her wireless was acting up. It's been pretty solid since I got that all sorted out. If something was going on I'm sure I would have heard about it as I typically get a phone call the moment something is out of order. |

And small what time were you hooked up yesterday? I'm wondering if you getting hooked up had anything to do with mine going out as we are both in the falls. I live downtown by the cop shop on Ellis! |

Which service did you buy from them? |
|
| Hooked up and all is good. Picked up a cisco e2000 router for $50 and no complains. I ordered the 7 light package to try. Next is the VOIP. just not sure from who. |

Hey,
Does anyone know if their 50 mbps cable internet is any good?
I asked iKtel and they say its a 50/1.5 stream with no cap.
I'm planning on later completely ditching cogeco (standard 14 Mbps internet and their overpriced TV) for some online TV.
Their internet cap is driving me crazy!
60 gigs??!! What the hell Cogeco?? |
|
| i don't think its actually available anywhere in the area iktel currently services, i could be wrong. but when i inquired Alan from iktel thought it was already in St. Catharines but later found out it wasn't available yet. i have their 16Mbit package and i'm thrilled with it. i have a friend on here with the 14Mbit package and i know hes just as happy. |
|
| Hmm.. That's weird. Their online availability tool says that it should be available in my area (50 Mbps). But one thing I don't understand is that the DCM425 modem is also supposedly used for the 50/1.5 tier. I read it's spec and apparently it only goes up to 36 Mbps.
How's your internet? Does it slow down during peak hours or anything like that? |

haven't had any slowdown yet. in north St. Catharines. been with Iktel for almost a month and just over a TB. |

| reply to FiagaraNalls
No slow downs for me either. Just over 2 weeks 1.5tb down so far.
Loving the 14 down so much better than the 3 I was on for 5 years. |
