I've moved once on Acanac and it was a less than pleasant experience, they didn't tell me that Bell was going to show up randomly. |

| Bell is a pain. Either they don't show up at all or at odds times. This is something all the wholesalers have to deal with. I was told by one of there reps that we should shortly have control of the profiles. This should clear up well over 70% of all tickets we put in with Bell. We have been asking for this feature for years now.
Lets hope they keep there promise.

That'll be a big step. So often we hear about Bell refusing to set profiles that a customer line can clearly support. |

1 edit | I hope your wrong, but we should get a bit more info on the 30th of this month. Bell has called in all the ISP's to discus the new proposed user based billing system. I will be sure to bring this up at this conference.
I want to clarify that one of the Bell VP's is the person who mentioned this to me. The same one who is pushing for user based billing. It's the carrot and stick approach. |

4 edits | Just got back from the conference and here is what Bell is proposing.
512Kbps service will be limited to 2GB per month
5Mbps service will be limited to 60GB per month
They did not disclose what the overcharges will be, but don't expect it to be cheap. Simply put DSL as we know it right now will no longer exist.
We find this proposal to be totally unexceptable. The only good news is that it will not affect current clients. So as long as you don't change ISP's you can keep your current unlimited connection. Bell proposes to start shadow billing in October and usage based billing in Jan of 2009.
This has given me a new sense urgency to setup our own equipment at the CO. I will be approaching a few other ISP in the next little while to see if we can come to some type of agreement. We prefer not to do this alone.
As for having control of the profile: They hope to offer us this ability towards the end of the year.
Best Regards,
Paul

1 edit | And is control over the profile tied to the usage-based billing? I hear that they've been promising wholesalers control over profiles for several years now and have yet to actually do anything.
This would really suck for me. I'm not exactly a "heavy" user. I have a 200GB cap and tend to use 100-150GB per month. But I'd still go way over a piddly little 60GB cap...
EDIT: Wholesalers forming an alliance to share colocated DSLAMs is an interesting idea, and it'd be great for me, being directly connected to the Atwater CO (one of the main downtown Montreal COs). But it'll suck for everybody on remotes... On the other hand, I guess building your own remotes would be easier as a group. |

Mississauga, ON | Forming an alliance in my opinion is the only real longer term solution. We need to make Bell think twice before they come up with these ridiculous ideas. The only way to do this is to offer real compationtion. |

Wow Wow Wow what a bunch of scumbags bell is.
There trying to limit there Wholesalers to the same low *** caps they impose on there own customers but at a slower speed. Don't see what give them the right to do so since u guys don't buy your bandwith off them.
If this was to go though the only difference between Wholesalers and Bell would be Tech Support and slower "UP TO" then what bell offers atm.
Also seeing how there 7Meg DSL is now $42 and 10Meg With 100GB is $52, These steps bell is taking look more and more anti-competitive everyday as they try to kill off Wholesalers something needs to be done. |
