Re: [Internet] Bell will run a fibre to your house for a 2 year

Several times on the bell canada website, I see they offer fibre to my door. The cost is $200/month, and last time I saw it the data cap was still pretty low. It keeps reappearing and disappear from the website, so it might be an error in their website. But even if it is an error for my residence, that means it is available to some people...

Edit: Today I see Bell Fibe Internet 175/175. $149/month. 300 GB usage cap. Not quite fiber speed, but I bet they do bring a fiber to the door, and just not offer the full speed at that price. For those keeping track, it would take just under 4 hours to burn through the month's data cap at that speed...

According to the website: "Coming to new neighbourhoods every week, Bell Fibe Internet 175/175 delivers fibre optics right to your home. You get as much speed whether your downloading or uploading, a blazing 175 Mbps either way."

Because it disappears sometimes due to you validating your address via phone or postal code, thus eliminating the FTTH options from your selection. It will only reappear when you clear your cache or delete your cookies.

FTTH pricing is visible to everyone, until you check availability.

If I can get it for sure, I don't mind paying the extra $30 for unlimited bandwidth. I wonder what will they charge if I throw in the Fibe TV as well, then just $10 for unlimited.

The Bell tech told me when I got my current config installed that "my dream" will only come true when the "Check Availability" says FTTH. Otherwise, dream on......

Bell has a history of applying "fair usage" restrictions to "unlimited" plans. I'm guessing Bell would classify anything more than say 600 GB as not being fair usage and disconnect the line. So you can count on one 8 hour day of full bandwidth for $179...

Luckily they don't do any of that funny business to FTTH customers on the 50/50 or 175/175 plans

I just saw that I can have Bell Internet 175/175 at my house. I called Bell and I took the Bell TV Fibe and the Bell Internet 175/175 with unlimited downloading.

I'll let you know how is everything in a few days

So how is Fibe service? I am being installed on Saturday for my new home build. Apparently I have Fiber to the home.

I am getting the following:

12 months free Fibe TV
6 months Free Phone
I could of took 6 months free 50/50 fibe internet, but took the $49.95 on-going deal instead
