<title>Fibe TV and Internet with my own router</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28312247</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have a WRT54GL router running tomato firmware. I got Fibe TV and internet installed last weekend, the connection box is sagemcom 2864.

I want to use the router to manage the network instead of the sagemcom. I want the sagemcom to act only as a modem. I understand this is not entirely possible because of Fibe TV but I read there is a way to use the router for computers and sagemcom for the tv receiver box.

I want to set port forwarding, access restrictions, bandwidth restrictions, etc. using my router instead of the sagemcom device.

Is there a way to do this even with Fibe TV?]]></description>

<title>Pair bonding coming soon?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28188648</link>
<description><![CDATA[I saw an internal job posting at BTS asking technicians who are interested to acquire the skills for the pair bonding market. Anyone got info on the deployment of this market? 

FYI, pair bonding uses two pairs of wire from the JWI to the modem to increase the capacity of the line on FTTN. It will extend the services 25, 50 and 75 Mbps and create the capacity of 100 Mbps on FTTN.]]></description>

<title>[RANT] Bell TV ads = stupidity !</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28310949</link>
<description><![CDATA[So, there was the fake game show commercials for Bell Fibe where 2 persons were representing the "Cable" company.

Reality check, who on earth would represent a competitor in a biased set with huge characters "Bell" in the background and all questions are about that company? Plain stupid, so are your clients.

The new commercial, ok, MPEG-4 compression can fit more HD content on a similar-size hard disk than MPEG-2, but reality check, if any company want to go to marketing war and fit more HD content on their devices, they'll have to compress the hell out of their HD channels, rending "HIGH DEFINITION" so obsolete you'll get a better picture with an antenna.

At the end of the commercial, a bystander tells the Fibe installer "Hook me up!", and he replies "No problem". Shouldn't he reply instead "Call Emily" ?

The beavers commercials were silly, but at least didn't take their clients for stupid idiots.

As for Rogers ads, they hied the same two guys in a bunch of cellphone commercials : the clean-cut guy and the idiot. First ad was ok, the second ad you tell yourself they should recognize each other by now, and the recent one, where the idiot is surrounded by a bunch of ladies showing photos on his cellphone, daydreaming in front of an ad in the metro : NOBODY in real life does that !

<description><![CDATA[Geez, its kinda funny because if you look at the available packages on the Bell website, the max speed they show is 175... 

but if you look at the new Bell website Internet shop main webpage, there is clearly an image that shows max for FTTH of 250mbps... wish it was available at my address!

<title>Bell POTS business line - alternative provider?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28302723</link>
<description><![CDATA[Sorry if this is off-topic, but I'm wondering if there's another company in Canada that resales Bell telephone POTS lines for businesses.

Long story short, my mother is paying over $120/month (with taxes) for Bell a land line for her private practice in an office. No Internet or anything else, just a telephone land line with a handful of calling features she doesn't even use.

I've gone through absolute *hell* dealing with Bell (my own account and anything my family has used) and going about cancelling all their services.

I'd like to check for POTS service first. Unless there are companies that provide VoIP for businesses at a reasonable cost.]]></description>

<title>[Internet] New Home-Owners ATTN: 12 Months Free FTTH Service</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28099090</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi guys,

I hope I'm not in any violation with this posting but I just got off the phone with bell and I heard that most of the people that bought a new house being built in the last 2 years might be eligible for Actual Fiber To The Home (FTTH) service. I repeat it's not FTTN but FTTH.

The new home owners are eligible to get up to 12 months of Free Fibe Internet, Fibe TV and Home Phone.

Here are the services you're getting:

1. Fibe Internet 50 Mbps Down/50 Mbps UP
2. Fibe TV Best Package with up to 300+ channels and More Movies
3. Any Home Phone Package

Yes all for Free.

However there are some conditions:

1. The You can not downgrade the Home Phone for at least 2 years so be careful which package you choose.
2. The internet you can downgrade or upgrade at any time.
3. You're in commitment with bell for at least 2 years.
4. You can downgrade your TV package at any time.

- Another thing is if you want Unlimited Bandwidth, you have to pay 10$ a month, but hey what's 10$ if you get the service for 12 months free.

- The Fibe TV comes with a Free HD PVR Receiver any extra receiver is 7$ a month (Up to maximum of 6 receivers).

- They can set you up with upto 3 phone outlets for free.

My opinion is this is an amazing offer, and I don't mind paying the regular price after the contract for both the Fibe Internet and Fibe TV. 

Lets be real not many people get an opportunity to have true fiber to their house (FTTH), most current communities have FTTN. The advantage with FTTH is that you will get dedicated connection with amazing upload and download upto 175 MBps UP/DOWN and your connection speed is not lowered when you whatch Fibe TV at the same time as surfing the net (FTTN shares the Fibe TV/Internet connection, as you have copper running to your house).

BTW In case you're wandering I live in Milton Derry/James Snow PKW area and FTTH is available there.

What do you guys think about this offer?

2.hooked another ss4200, no joy, no conection, got 3 green`s
3. connected New 2Wire, no joy, no DSL, got RED power light.
4  Finally,conected "old" ss5200/E242 (all black) and got connection with 3 green`s

I have 3 ss4200 and all failed and new send 2Wire failed to, to connect. Can`t figure this that this "old" ss5200 conected with no problem and holds speed.
 
Appreciate some help as I like my wireless network with ss4200 + DLink 625 as it worked great at home. Can`t understuned that my 2Wire failed and my friends.

Thanks.]]></description>

<title>[Homephone] Bell limiting 1.5mbps with other ISP</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28309352</link>
<description><![CDATA[ I was about to change for a new ISP today, but they informed me that my phone connection to BELL limits me to 1.5 mbps, as I was opting for their 6 mbps subscription. They told me to opt for their 2 mbps instead.
And this is true because 1.5  is exactly the speedtests results I am getting on my 10 mbps Acanac connection right now.

So what is the deal here? Is it because of my phone lines or is it bell itself that are being jerks?  I want to get some insight from this board before having to deal with them on the phone. I am also thinking of switching to a cheaper phone services but I dont know if this will resolve the problem or complicate it more if it's a wiring issue. ]]></description>

<title>Cable phoneline and dry loop</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28309380</link>
<description><![CDATA[I have phone service and TV service with videotron and internet service with acanac. 2 days ago my father talked to bell on the phone about a new tv/phone/internet bundle (he didn't sign up for anything yet) and since yesterday evening the DSL light on the modem is completely out.

What happened? Could it be a dry loop issue?]]></description>

<title>Revised Sagemcom modems?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28307440</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've handled a few new Sagemcom Fast 2864 modems that seem a little heavier than previous ones. This one is easily identified as it has a translucent ssid sticker on the front side of the modem.  I'm wondering if this could mean the internals could be revised.
I'd like to open one up and compare it to older ones.]]></description>

<title>[Internet] Bell FIBE &#x26;amp;agrave; Qu&#x26;amp;eacute;bec : Pas encore disponi</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28305146</link>
<description><![CDATA[Bonjour &agrave; tous!
J'ai tent&eacute; d&eacute;sesp&eacute;r&eacute;ment de trouver quelqu'un pour r&eacute;pondre &agrave; ma question mais personne n'a pu y arriver jusqu'&agrave; maintenant, m&ecirc;me un tech de BST qui travaille &agrave; Qu&eacute;bec avec qui je joue au hockey ne pouvait pas alors j'essaie ici ;o)
Je suis dans le nord de Charlesbourg, &agrave; l'est du boulevard Henri Bourrassa et entre la sortie de la Faune et George-Muir (G2M0M2 comme code postal). Donc, je suis sur le territoire de la CCAP pour le c&acirc;ble ainsi que sur le territoire de Bell.  MAIS... Toujours pas de service FIBE dans le coin, on ne peut qu'avoir le vieux cuivre pour le t&eacute;l&eacute;phone et l'internet et une soucoupe pour la t&eacute;l&eacute;.  Tout le monde semble dire que le d&eacute;ploiement de la fibre est termin&eacute;e &agrave; Qu&eacute;bec, que m&ecirc;me plusieurs techs qui voulaient bien y aller sont rendu &agrave; Montr&eacute;al pour le d&eacute;ploiement l&agrave;-bas.  Est-ce que je dois comprendre que je dois faire une croix sur les services FIBE chez moi? &Agrave; partir de Henri Bourassa jusqu'&agrave; chez moi, il y a la moiti&eacute; du chemin en fil a&eacute;rien et ensuite, &ccedil;a devient souterrain mais c'est r&eacute;cent et les bo&icirc;tes qui appartiennent &agrave; Bell sont bien visibles et j'ai m&ecirc;me aid&eacute; le technicien de CCAP &agrave; rendre son fil de leur bo&icirc;te (qui est &agrave; c&ocirc;t&eacute; de celle de Bell) jusqu'&agrave; ma maison lors de l'installation initiale.
Est-ce qu'il y a de l'espoir pour un jour avoir les services FIBE chez moi? Y'a une entente de "non agression" avec la CCAP?
Merci de bien vouloir m'&eacute;clairer! :)]]></description>

<title>[Internet] Question on DSLAM.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28307584</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hello.
I have a small question regarding a "DSLAM" as people call it.
I live in a small hamlet/town, about 3 minutes away from a town with High Speed DSL. They have a DSLAM 2 roads down from my house, bringing DSL to road right beside me. I wanted to know how much it would cost for Bell to install 1 more DSLAM so the people in my small hamlet/town can have internet. There is about 20-40 houses in this town, and there has been over 3-5 new houses built in the past year. 

Thank you.]]></description>

<title>Torrent upload speed (given 7040/800 profile) is?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28302218</link>
<description><![CDATA[Given a dsl profile with 800 mbps uplink, what is the theoretical effective upload speed?  Would 54 k-bytes/sec be anywhere near that theoretical value?

Second question -> Bell did once throttle torrent upload speed - yes?  Do they still throttle?]]></description>

<title>[TV] FibeTV - Cheapest way to get extra HD channels like TSN?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28294520</link>
<description><![CDATA[So you've got your base fee which is 9.95 or 19.95 for Ontario.

If I understand correctly, to buy RDS, you have to choose 15-channel pack for 18$/month more.

Then, to buy TSN, you have to buy a HD pack for 5$/more.

You can't buy RDS or TSN by itself if you only have the base package.

So RDSHD is base+18$
TSNHD is base+18$+5$.

Of course you do get 15 a-la-carte channels, but most people don't want any of that :)

Am I understanding this right? Or is there some awesome loophole I'm unaware of :^)

EDIT: How often can you change your FibeTV channels?]]></description>
