[DSL] Dry Loop Band Rate A to G

They're listed on the page, if you just scroll down...

pretty sure it is how close you are to "downtown" or civilization :P

The definition is "the band you're in is whatever Bell says it is". There isn't really a good definition you can give an end-user, and even on the back-end, Bell uses different reasoning for the lower bands versus the upper bands.

Normally its intended to do with the CO you are being served from classified by distance. i.e. Urban downtown Band A, rural band G. Though I don't know anyone who has ever gotten DSL in band G since in those cases you could probably only ever expect to receive landline voice service.

Though Guspaz is right, Bell determines the band and it is largely a superficial rate.

Technically, band G doesn't actually exist anymore. Bell got rid of it in the recent ULL pricing changes.

I live in a primarily band F area. .

I believe some of the new developments in Oakville going up north of 5 are in Band F as well...I believe there was a thread a couple of years ago about a customer living in Oakville and paying band F and Bell basically saying, that's not going to change, even though its just about completely build up and urbanized now lol .

I live in the boondocks and I'm in Band B .
