Re: MODEM - Options I see hookbag has some zyxel VSG1432s for $112. They're known to work with teksavvy, but perhaps only in western Canada. I see other reports that Zyxel modems might/should/do work with 7330s here in Bell land.

I'm waiting for a good modem before upgrading from DSL 15/1 to 25/10. |

How come the SB6121 from Motorola won't be supported on the upcoming 150/10 Rogers lines? It is spec'd for 160 down  |

For the same reasons the SB5101N or Thompson/RCA DCM425 won't be supported on anything 25/2 and up. The required bandwidth per channel is way too close to the max. It will likely cause you to not get the speed you'd want and could cause congestion for your neighbours on cable internet as well. |

Its the same reason the Docsis 2 isn't allowed on the 28/1. Theoretically it can handle it, but in practice it doesn't do it well.
Each Channel is 38 Mbs, so a SB6121 has 4 channels 152 Mbps max, so technically they can reach the speeds, but no one else in those 4 channels would get any bandwidth at all.
You'd make people sad Pandas, and no one likes a Sad Panda. |

It is spec'd for 160 down It sounds like it will be accepted, on a case by case basis, and only if you ask really nicely and explain that you completely understand that you won't really see 150mbit/s half the time and you promise to never complain. Or something like that..
It isn't recommended though.

Ya 75/5 or 75/7 would have been nice. That's what the 45/4 tier should've been. 35/3 and 45/4 are so close to each other speed wise. |

Even trying with 25/2 is a bad idea and users trying are the pricks on the network. |

Even bumping up to 100 would have been fine. But Rogers would rather try to sell the faster tier at a ridiculous mark up to a tiny portion of the user base instead of not so fast at a reasonable rate to a much larger portion of the user base. But then again that would just expose the fact that DOCSIS can't handle the load (oh my bad).  |

The tiers are obviously completely manipulated for marketing purposes--pretty gross really. However, the biggest problem in the lineup is the gaping hole between 6 and 25, along with the abysmal upload speed on 6.
How about:
6/512
12/1
25/2
50/4
100/10

said by InvalidError:said by NBomb:Is there any way to know (without having a modem) what kind of stinger/remote/etc I'd be put on? You won't know for sure until the service is hooked up unless your area has been upgraded after Bell stopped rolling out IKNS gear. If you see lots of JWIs with boxes tacked their sides/rear, you likely are in a stinger area. If you know where your jwi/opi is, if the backpack has notched corners its lucent. If the backpack has square corners its an alcatel
edit: it's probably worth noting that some jwi/opi's will have 2 back-packs / side packs. and it's not uncommon to have a lucent and alcatel pack on the same opi/jwi

I've seen inside this, it's where all the pairs are terminated. The tech when I got my original 5meg DSL let me watch him work.
Off the left side there's like an add-on box, and then maybe a meter away to the left of that, not attached, is another smaller brown box that looks like a stand-alone version of the attached add-on box. They both have 45-degree top corners, many vents, and I can hear fans operating inside and circulating air. Never seen inside these. |

| sounds like lucent to me. of course, without seeing it I cant say with any degree of certainty |

lucent oslam (stinger)
not alcatel 7330
edit: nice graffiti
the cellpipe modem (with correct firmware) and sagemcom modem will both work here.
