FIBE -- Review so far

TV is awesome picture quality
Internet no issues with lags in any games or browsing or streaming video

I have a couple questions though

I am on the 15/10 (Bell says that FTTN does not support 25/10 even though the installer tested my line and said I could do 50 down and 30 up

Anyways why is the upload not at 10... it actually usually is between 6 and 7

And is it normal for the download speed to be cut in half if I am watching TV (and my wife is watching TV in another room)

Bell is full of shit that it doesn't support faster speeds... It's just a question of setting the sync rate... There is a 45/9meg FibeTV profile..

As for your upload speed, it's probably a profile error. I'm sure someone in the direct forum can check it for you.

And yes, the downloads get slower as you watch TV. it's a shared resource from your total sync rate. As you watch tv (or are recording to the PVR if you have one) the speeds get slower.

Which is exactly why they should be setting the sync rate higher, but whatever Bell... How are you dealing with the low caps?

I bought an extra 100 GB of. Cap

Tv, phone and internet is 126 I believe including taxes for the first year

Normal pricing in 2nd year (which I believe is 50 more per month)

So a tech contacted me here and it turns out my profile was setup a bit wrong.. I now have a full 10 up and my down will not degrade unless I am using up more than 2 hd channels at a time (PVR + actual watching)

I would love to get that fixed on my line too. I only get 6-7 upload.

Who do I talk to for that?
