They were very much appreciated. Well, I guess I just have to sit it out some more. I've been using the wife's parents place for essential stuff. They have satellite internet and the connection is 1000x more usuable (!).

I've laid out trails of donuts and chocolate milk leading to the CO to entice in the worker elves. As a backup plan in case it never happens - what would be involved in ordering up a new circuit and taking the 50/50 gamble I land on the good half of town?

UK_Dave join:2011-01-27 Powassan, ON kudos:2 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL ·Bell Sympatico	Hey Will, If you're still there - do you and Vianet happen to know if this Bell work is supposed to have been done yet? TSI - any chance you can find out this info that Will referred to? Also, TSI - could you respond to the backup plan question above - what would be involved in ordering a new circuit if this doesn't fix things. Cheers Dave

So tell me - Did they eat your treats and leave the tech things as they were ? If they did THAT, then Bell may be having a labour force problem. Try offering them Timmies' Coffees, double-double, instead. On a serious note - Nobody has mentioned/asked, but is CABLE 'Net available where you are ? -- We have only 2 things about which to worry : (1) That things may never get back to normal (2) That they already HAVE !

UK_Dave join:2011-01-27 Powassan, ON kudos:2 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL ·Bell Sympatico	I've never checked - not sure I see the point of doing so. They don't live in Powassan, and they're on satellite. Just curious? Next time I'm there I'll do some pings to somewhere. I was supposed to be getting weekly updates on where this problem is up to. TSI, can you confirm that the work by Bell is Done/Not Done. And if DONE, can you let me know the next steps you plan to take - as it didn't make a difference to the usability of my connection. Thanks, Dave

TSI Andre Got TekSavvy? Premium,VIP join:2008-06-03 Chatham, ON kudos:8	reply to UK_Dave Hi Dave, We are currently waiting for an update from our contact at Bell which deals with Pattern Matches. We are gearing for an update in the next couple of hours. I will post an update once we have one. As for the weekly updates, we certainly have been checking however there hasn't been any/much productive movement which is why we didn't report back. Thanks, Andre -- TSI Andre Director of Service Delivery TekSavvy Website \| TekSavvy Blog

TSI Andre Got TekSavvy? Premium,VIP join:2008-06-03 Chatham, ON kudos:8	reply to UK_Dave Hi Dave, Just an FYI that I just asked for an update again and they are telling us they are waiting on another group for an update. This is the first time we have seen this happen so I am hoping it means there is movement, but at this time, I just don't know. I asked my guys here if there will be an update today, they told me that likely not but they are keeping on it. I will let you know when we get updates. Cheers, Andre -- TSI Andre Director of Service Delivery TekSavvy Website \| TekSavvy Blog

Partially curious (always am), as Xplornet has been known to be both expensive AND to have inconsistent to crappy performance in the past, and also to determine whether your own reason for not currently considering them (assuming that it IS Xplornet and that they ARE serving your in-laws satisfactorily) would then only be the cost, as Xplornet satellite service is now available almost everywhere from their new sat, and as you WERE planning to get back in bed with Bell.

TSI Andre Got TekSavvy? Premium,VIP join:2008-06-03 Chatham, ON kudos:8	reply to UK_Dave We got an update!!!! The update is not date specific, however Bell is targeting to fix the issue in your area within the next 2 weeks... They said based on ordering, it could take up to 1 month from now but they feel confident about getting it fixed within two weeks Sounds promising so far Cheers, Andre -- TSI Andre Director of Service Delivery TekSavvy Website \| TekSavvy Blog

UK_Dave join:2011-01-27 Powassan, ON kudos:2 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL ·Bell Sympatico 1 edit	Well. I have an email from TSI support saying there has been an update from Bell on my support ticket with you. How do I see my support ticket to find out what this update is? Is it good news or bad? *EDIT : Have tried TSI portal but can't seem to see the ticket to check what the update is. Cheers Dave

UK_Dave join:2011-01-27 Powassan, ON kudos:2 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL ·Bell Sympatico	Holy smoke! It's 8.30pm on a Friday night and I'm averaging 40ms pings! Whatever happened, seems to have done the trick! Was it the Powassan-wide upgrade? A response to the support email said something about swapping me from DS3 to OC3 - not sure what that means. Either way - so far so good! Cheers Dave
