Comparing fiber and cable, as well as bell and Rogers, highlights key differences in technology and application.

It seems like a quirky area, possibly from the 80s or 90s. How can Ontario's service be so bad? I pay $200 for $150.
Yea, you'd be lucky to even have fiber to the box, if you have to postal code you can look it up... I have fiber locally, but i would have to move up in price by $500,000, 2km away... Nope not doing that... Easy Bell loves free rides, they can't be bothered to upgrade when many stupid people simply pay way too much for junk service... I could get 25/10 here or better with Rogers, well Virgin claims i can get 50/10... Rogers requires work(no rogers to the house), Virgin wants to manhandle everything inside my home to set it up and during winter yea...I have carpet If i upgraded my package (tempting) Bell rep would nag on how i can get better speeds, not allowed but they do it anyways... One even was so cocky to do so on a service call from their throttling, the guy literally fixed it (while)at the box
I understand the information from Shaw, the local cable provider, which only considers high-paying customers (they used to offer 3/0.02 for 10/0.5).
Here you are, buddy. You can leverage the last mile owned by Rogers, but you don’t have to go through their nonsense. Of course, there are other TPIA providers that offer comparable deals (Start, Distributel, Acanac, etc.), but TekSavvy is my top pick. They handle both Bell and Rogers lines too.
I've been working with them for roughly six years now. They're great people, but the TPIA BS Bell is causing my connection to drop. It improves about once a week, usually in the evening on the weekend. I think it's not the modem or wiring since when I first used this modem around six months ago, its speed jumped from 3500+500 to full 7000 with a top speed of 24000. It stayed like that for about a week. Then it dropped to 5000 with a top speed of 7000... The odd part is losing internet for up to five minutes, but the modem stays on and shows it's working.
