Re: Business VDSL25 and MLPPP?Yeah, for pure upstream, 3x 10/7 is going to get you just as far as 3x 25/7, and a bunch cheaper too...
For 50/10, Bell doesn't offer 50/10 to business customers, so there won't be a tariff. But you can often get a residential connection at a business address. That's what we did, to save money.
It's worth noting that the residential tiers all offer 10 megs of upstream, while the business tiers offer only 7. Not sure why Bell does it like that. |

That is pretty strange especially as businesses are where the additional bandwidth is going to be utilized more often. But then again Rogers held out on the faster speed tiers for business service for a long time. |

The target for DSL is small business where speeds don't necessarily matter and this suits the majority of business users. The bread and butter is in fiber for those businesses who need the speed, SLA and reliability and that's where Bell and Rogers is making money. |

This is not strictly true: » www.bell.ca/shop/Sb_view ··· nt1-tabsUnder 'Optional\Upload Speed', we can see that a 10Mpbs upload tier is indeed being offered. As to why it's not available to GAS under speed matching - well that is a different question. |

This is an assumption at best and is wrong. Ya, fibre where it's not available. |

Fibre is available in most business areas, if you're willing to pay. I know at our business it took over 9 months from order date, and the install fee was high. |

Exactly, business areas and the extremely high install fees. Making this not an option for a lot of smaller businesses. |

That and or having a backup.
We use our Fiber for mission-critical stuff, and have the DSL set as a failover for that, as well as being used for general web-surfing stuff. |

Yep this is true, so we went with Rogers 150/10/unlimited instead at our new office only to find out that its actually unlimited/10/unlimited (according to the technician at least). Speed test shows 175/9.7, but maybe its speed boost (although I'm told speed boost is disabled in this case). |
