It looks like someone is purposefully capping me at 2880 kbps up (although I only get around 2.1Mbps).

That's my gut feeling too, although the Bell tech said it was 700 meters, not 1km like this seems to indicate. Technically speaking, couldn't Bell improve the situation by upgrading their box or adding an additional box closer to my location?

Sure. Open a ticket and ask them to do just that. LOL |

Bell could do all KINDS of things !
How big of a bribe did you have in mind ?  |

Couldn't Bell add an additional upload channel from the box to my home? That sounds cheap enough (cheaper than adding a new box or paying for an extensive upgrade).

No. You're running into physical limitations of the wiring. |

No. You're running into physical limitations of the wiring. I understand I'm running into the physical limitation of a single wire, but can't Bell bond multiple wires (say one meant for my neighbor which isn't using DSL) to promise me faster service?
Is DSL bonding really my only realistic option? My house is using one line for DSL and the other for phone/alarm system. Wouldn't the second DSL run into interference with existing services?
Is it possible for me to bond two DSL connections with differing speeds? Perhaps I could get a cheap/slow second connection and use it purely to augment my upload speed? The cheapest option I see is DSL 6/0.8 for $30 but I'm paying for the extra download speed and bandwidth I don't need. Is there a cheaper option?
Thanks,
Gili |

Unless your line has a physical issue... they won't do anything else.
Bonding is between you and your ISP, and usually it's better to have lines at the same speed. |

You could probably run your own transatlantic fibre-optic cable from your front door to Europe faster and cheaper than Bell could give you an upgrade. |

You could probably run your own transatlantic fibre-optic cable from your front door to Europe faster and cheaper than Bell could give you an upgrade. I have two co-workers abroad. One is in Bulgaria, another in Serbia. They have 64Mbps and 32Mbps connections, respectively, for less than $30/month.
Serbia!!! Come on people! Canada is such a third-world country when it comes to internet. |
|
| Duh, yes.
And I'll bet that on an income adjusted & "delivered bitrate"** basis that their service is a lot cheaper too.
** delivered bitrate = the actual measured bitrate available at the user premises, NOT the advertised speed. |

Just go a bit south (Romania) and for $30 you'll get internet-50Mbps, cable TV with 10 HD channels and home phone-VOIP. Now that's a hot deal! |

Let's see him come up with the couple billion dollars first  |

Let's see him come up with the couple billion dollars first And even if it took him a while to do that, it would still be cheaper & faster than waiting for Bell. |

Gili LOOK if they can give you 25 megabit down they cuold give you 10 up and just give you 20 megabit down or some such , htere jsut lazy do nothing pricks |
