Re: [DSL] A paying customer of more than 4yrs is not worth $25 Yeah exactly... What a clusterfuck, CRTC just let them do this garbage...

Yeah, but that should just be a cost of doing business for them... They are making a killing now on CBB rates...
You don't see cable companies charging the end user for node splits, or silly dryloop fees...

You mean that Bell is making a killing right and that they should eat these costs? |

said by HiVolt:You don't see cable companies charging the end user for node splits, or silly dryloop fees... You do not see cablecos running individual coax from the HFC box to homes the way each home has its own dedicated pair to maintain on DSL/POTS so maintenance/operating costs aren't quite the same there and you do not see Bell charging for installing remotes either.
On cable, speed changes are just a profile change on shared QAMs so there is no imminent physical change requirement associated with individual speed changes and node splits could be avoided by adding QAMs but cablecos are favoring smaller nodes before extra QAMs, likely to improve signal quality and reduce the number of in-line amplifiers per node since amplifiers add and amplify noise too... this used to be a major problem ~20 years ago, before cablecos started adding HFC to fix rampant signal quality issues, particularly near the end-of-lines where OTA signals and noise often overpowered cable signals. |
