50/10 SMB connection, 625 René-Lévesque W. MontreaIs anyone other then Bell offering this? I've vetted the address in Montreal, shows 50/10 is available.
We have a suite at 625 René-Lévesque Blvd. W. Montréal, Quebec H3B 1R2
Problem is, there's no cable in the building to get us a good high speed connection, there is a carrier hotel on the second floor, but unknown if they could somehow get us a wire up to our suite.
Anyone have ideas? I do not want to have to deal with Bell again, they still owe us from a billing gaffe from 3 months ago. |

You are in the same building as cologix. Getting DSL would be like signing up for dialup in a google fiber neighborhood.
I'm no expert in fiber deployments, but I'd suggest you call both cologix and cogent. At the very least, you should be able to get the on-net pricing from Cogent. I'd expect that to be cheaper than DSL. |

Cogent should work, but be advised that installation will probably cost you $1,000. On the plus side, they'll be the ones running the wire from their equipment room to your office. I had Cogent when my servers were at Cologix's datacenter at 1250 René-Lévesque. They were extremely reliable, even detecting the times when my own equipment was down! |

You can ask for a quote at CSR.Sales@cogecodata.com. We're the Montreal-based office and we're currently on-net at 625 René-Levesque. |

Just a quick note that Cogeco and Cogent are two entirely different companies. |

I sent off a few emails and made a few calls. It's not exactly cheap to get a basic connection, I fear I may need to go to DSL. The building has offered to give us a drop down to Cologix, but I need to get a connection there. |

They should be able to do small commits with a much smaller setup fee. |

Fibremedia.ca is a client of cologix, and they have fiber running right in front of 625 going to 1250. Give them a call. You won't believe there pricing!! |

Why are you referring to yourself in the third person? :P |
|
|
Because SkyNet Canada and Fibre Media Inc. are two seperate entities. Is this answer suitable? |

So close but so far!! |

Well, the cross-connect inside Cologix is 500$NRC and 250$MRC for fiber, 250$NRC and 150$MRC for copper. You need this cross-connect between the provider and the end-user (if it goes elsewhere in the building, I don't have a clue about the cost).
Add 5 to 10$ per Mbps for transit and you get what a business class service cost. |

Add 5 to 10$ per Mbps for transit and you get what a business class service cost. FWIW, I would recommend contacting Cogent. Most of the time, they have a separate demarc point in corporate office buildings so that the property owner/manager can connect other tenants in the building to them and avoiding the DC internal XO fees. I know this is the case at 1250 RL. You don't actually have to get a cross connect into Cologix for Cogent to provide you with internet access. |
