TSI Martin Escalations - Social Media Premium join:2006-02-23 Chatham, ON kudos:11	[DSL] Official 5Megs to 6Megs upgrade thread. Hey folks. Since the unofficial thread seems to be growing some attention, here's the word on what's going to happen for the Profile upgrades from 5Megs to 6Megs. This is not a price update thread, keep your questions or comment relevant please. Officially the upgrades of profiles to 6Meg (don't forget it's "UP TO") aren't supposed to happen till Feb 2nd. Now some lines have an option to be optimized and we've been attempting to optimize the ones we see, which seem to be working properly. If your line has the potential of getting it done, then we'll try to do so for you. But, if you line needs to be manually configured, we will be asking to wait till February 2nd. Now here's the catch, please understand that this is not something you can check on your own. This needs to be verified by us. Seeing how everyone will want to know if they can get it, we ask you to also be patient with this. There is no point in trying to call, email, & post on DSLR all at the same time to get your upgrade. Only 1 request will be necessary. Thanks for your patience. Martin -- TSI Martin (Escalations) - TekSavvy Solutions Inc. Authorized TSI employee ( »»TekSavvy FAQ »Official support in the forum )

InvalidError join:2008-02-03 kudos:5 1 edit	said by TSI Martin: Officially the upgrades of profiles to 6Meg (don't forget it's "UP TO") aren't supposed to happen till Feb 2nd. The proposed effective date for Bell's TN7328 (speed matching on legacy GAS) filed in October 2012 and approved on final basis on November 17th had a proposed effective date of November 12th, it had nothing to do with the CRTC's CBB decision and its tentative effective date of February 1st. So the legacy speed bump has been very much official and effective as far as Bell and the CRTC are concerned for exactly two months as of today.

HiVolt Premium join:2000-12-28 Toronto, ON kudos:12 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL ·TekSavvy Cable	reply to TSI Martin Ask Bell if they will be setting 7meg sync rates like they do for their own customers, so they get true 6meg speeds, not the bastardized sync only like wholesale has been getting for years. Bell always finds a way to screw wholesale one way or the other. -- GO LEAFS GO!

HiVolt Premium join:2000-12-28 Toronto, ON kudos:12 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL ·TekSavvy Cable	said by TSI Martin: I think you answered your own question on that one HiVolt Yeah, i figured that... What I'm wondering is why nobody questioned it when the tariffs were submitted... This sort of ripoff has been going on for years... Still happening for the new FTTN tiers except 25/7 which is proper speed. -- GO LEAFS GO!

anxdiety join:2009-10-19 Eganville, ON	I agree with HiVolt. Why has this never been brought up? It never gets any attention. Is there not something that could be filed or a complaint made somewhere? Basically they're subverting the CRTC's decision with this kind of BS.

bbiab join:2004-05-26	reply to TSI Martin said by TSI Martin: said by HiVolt: most are being set for sync rate, not for the rate corrected for overhead. That would be correct! And why does Teksavvy accept this again? I thought speed matching has been defined now, or at least as of February 2.
