| So, when is the 5 to 6 Mb/s upgrade comming? So now that the dust is more or less settled and we, the poor schmucks stuck in the lowest ADSL tier are being skinned alive, when will the mythical 5 to 6 upgrade come?
I mean, seriously, considering that's just a friggin profile change, when will our Overlords (praised be them) decided that we deserve this gracious gift? |

| I think so too. But when I asked for profile raise with my ISP, they told me I am too far from CO. Actually I was on 6M profile two years ago at this location, with the same ISP. |

| I posted this in aother thread.
Bell Canada is interested in getting examples of people who should have gotten upgraded from 5 to 6 but who didn't.
So if you have good line stats, and didn't get upgraded, IM me your phone number and I will forward this to Bell. |

Just got the upgrade to 6016/800 finally. I will see how stable it will be.

I don't think that my conversation was province specific, so I Ass-U-ME that it was "all over" instead of just one province. |

I am afraid it is not. My dry loop is still at 5M even though it is perfectly capable of doing 6M. |

Which is why my contact at Bell has asked me to provide him/her/it with examples of lines that missed the upgrade. PM me your phone numebr or dry loops number and I will forward it to them. |

Hi jfmezei,
My line was changed to interleaved months ago because of the disconnection issue (it's gone mysteriously now), now it's still interleaved as I see in modem status. Is it necessary to change back to fastpath? My connection is stable now, but I know little about difference of these two. In what situations fastpath is more important, and vice versa? Thanks! |
