Re: [Hamilton] Is Cogeco Increasing Speeds?

You want to hear a real shocker? I just punched in my uncle's address off of Sherman Drive and it just qualified him for 25/10. That's the first time I've seen any VDSL2 anywhere in Niagara. They must be further down the QEW than I thought.

Edit - heh, my Father on Lincoln now qualifies for 25/10 too, and the system is smart enough to know by address because if I punch others in it shows me just 5/1.

I tried the online tester in the event the online component is faulty or inaccurate to what the people on the phone will tell you, but my postal code comes up as 5/1. Your uncle must have a different postal code than me. I have no idea how large or small postal code areas are...

You guys could both be served by a different JWI or remote.

He's not exactly on Sherman, but close enough to it. Seeing 25/10 for my Father on Lincoln surprised the heck out of me.

I just threw in my Grandfather who lives in the Kiwanis Park seniors building on Geneva and he also qualifies for 25/10 now. If I put in my own address and the address of my store here in Fort Erie, they show 5/1. They must have lit up a bunch of VDSL2 SLAMs in St. Catharines. I know they've been in the works for a while, but I figured they wouldn't be ready until the Fall based on what I had heard.

I'm in the North end of St. Catharines and bell says I qualify for 25/10. Currently on 16/1 though (realistically 16.5/0.9). Maybe I'll switch over if they give me some nice promotion. ;P Those uploads look really nice.
I'm near the Scott and Geneva intersection, but closer to bell's Linwell CO building.
