It would just be more constructive to ask what neighbourhoods have FTTH or ask if people have it if you want to know. Yesterday and today you've just been complaining about Bell being 39th...no gigabit fibre...etc, doesn't really help to just complain about things that have already been stated or are pretty much a given.

You seem to be operating under the delusion that you matter, or that London is somehow more important than Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal.

Bell's installing FTTH in greenfield developments, and they're upgrading the network in big cities first. If you don't like that you're lower on the list, then move to a greenfield or a big city.

Admittedly it would be nice to have some idea of an upgrade schedule.

I am moving soon and the area I am moving back to is only capable of 5/0.8. It was the same when I was there 5 years ago.

FYI - you can get FTTH in St. Thomas which isn't too far from London.

Here's a hint, MJB, constantly posting on public forums whining about not having gigabit Internet isn't going to make it happen. It's just going to annoy the people who would otherwise agree with you.

Yes but you're posting on a forum of people where most of them know of the issues with our current situation regarding internet speed. If you really wanted to help, you'd go out to the people who aren't on forums like these and inform them. Strength in numbers.

Rather than complain, I'll give you a shovel so you can start trenching your own cable in.

LOL,

While I admire your determination, what you do on this forum is more or less spamming the members with your FTTH issue

You'll get no traction here, you do more bad than good even if your intentions are laudable

I would like bell to upgrade to FTTH and have better pricing... both..

plans like

50/50
100/100
150/150
250/250
500/500
750/750
1000/1000

FYI, FTTH is a shared service as well.

The whole public internet is built on the principle of networks sharing bandwidth.

People/companies/universities/etc. who need truly dedicated/reserved bandwidth from A to B with strict performance guarantees have to lease private virtual circuits (which may or not share some of the same equipment and links as infrastructure used by the "public" internet) with SLAs.

If ISPs had to provision their networks as if they were dedicated, a relatively small company like TSI would need ~500Gbps of interconnects with Bell instead of the ~35Gbps they currently have or ~1Tbps with Rogers instead of their current ~70Gbps.

Nearly all bandwidth ends up shared sooner or later. On cable, sharing starts on the coax. On xDSL, sharing starts at the DSLAM. On GPON, it starts on the fiber much like coax. On Fiber ETTH, sharing starts at the edge router's uplink much like DSLAMs.

There is no getting away from sharing bandwidth on practical networks.

i know that fiber is shared ... but it makes me mad that they can't upgrade the current neighborhoods of major cities like toronto, hamilton, london, etc....

no upgrades at all... no effort to do it... go buy a sports stadium ...

I'll bet you a box of timbits and a coffee that there are homes somewhere within the limits of the Corporation of the City of London that can get FTTH from Bell.

Edit - ... and if you don't believe me, pop an address from Canvas Way into Bell's online validation tool. They can get Fibe TV over fibre, too.
