Re: FTTN 25/10 and 50/10 with Fibe TV + Unlimited Bandwidth

said by coaxguy:

Called in, could not get the promo price of 49.99. The best they could do was $79.99

Promos never apply to existing customers or people who used to be a customer within the last 6 months to prevent people from cancelling/re-ordering. They have redflagdeals people figured out.

For $79.99 I can get 100/100 unmetered where I'm moving in a few years including tax, so pass.

The rules for add-ons like data buckets/unlimited are different. Existing customer's are not eligible for promos on the base plans. I'm not saying it can't change, this is just how it's been for awhile.

even for FTTH, they reduce upload to 10 now except for 175 Mbps

If this is true Bell is going backwards

Not true.

50/10 = FTTN
50/50 = FTTH

So whats your plan costing you? 116.95 a month for unlimited 50/10? Seems scarily expensive..!

I was able to get unlimited added to my 25/10 plan for $10/month without having 3 services with Bell. So I am paying $60/month, way cheaper than TSI top tier DSL unlimited.

So if you live in an older house, you are SOL to get fibre to your home?

I believe they are bringing FTTH to old houses around Quebec City and Montreal. I haven't seen or heard anything for the Toronto area.

It has nothing to do with the age of the home, FTTH will eventually be everywhere. Its currently only being deployed in newer sub divisions, and high density areas of Quebec and Toronto.

Bell website says I don't qualify for 50/10, but my line stats say I do (RCO of 43% at current ~27 meg sync)...

The website is only a rough indicator. If you are really interested, call them and ask. They will have a better idea of what you can get.

Thanks for answering my question about FFTH coaxguy. If 50/50 ever comes to my neighbourhood I will wait to see what Teksavvy has to offer, and if they can't match it I'll be going to Bell.

I technically don't qualify for 10 upload anymore, because my stinger line card went bad over the summer and they either moved my wires or the card they switched to gives much lower sync. I can have it set at 10 but it drifts lower. This is on a less than 200 metre loop, but it depends on the line condition too. In general the stingers are very weak.

I'm being offered $82.95/month in the Bell Bundle for 50/10 175GB. $10 unlimited addon is not available because I just have Internet and Wireless. Their home phone is overpriced and I have a TV deal from Rogers that they can't beat.

IMO if you are light user 15/10 60GB on dryloop is still the best value for Bell DSL. If you need unlimited 25/10 dryloop from TSI is still the least expensive at $87/month.

There are new players entering the FTTH scene in Toronto that will poop on everything Bell and Rogers offer. If you are lucky enough to live around there.
