In an ideal world, this process will end with Bell getting smacked down hard. In this world, they'll probably get UBB at Retail - 20%. Fuckers.

Oh I want to smack this fucker. We're charging UBB to our wholesale customers, but they DON'T HAVE TO charge THEIR customers UBB.

These questioners never connect the dots.. "Business users buy their own pipes and thus pay for what they use." "You mean like small ISPs that you're wholesaling your last mile connectivity to?" "No, that's totally different."

"Our top package is 100mbps!" "How many minutes of usage is that with your top packages cap?" Pick up the goddamn ball, Government!

Ya he's pretty consistent with his "messaging." So much so that I can't stand to watch the interview, I also want to slap the poo poo out of the little toad. The thing is, when someone just tries to spin you need to treat him like a prosecutor. Make him either lie to you or admit that his premise is wrong. Did GB do any of that on the interview? Did the host?

teethgrinder posted:Yeah, I unironically believe Trailer Park Boys was a fantastic show. People just assume it's idiotic because of the trashiness of it. Absolutely agreed - amazing show. I love how the actors did all promotion of it in character as well. Last season blew though.

That price is more than I pay for bandwidth, and I'm not an ISP. So ya, giant ripoff. Somebody needs to smack these buggers down. I say nationalize the last miles.

I was in Montreal earlier this year on a lovely Bell connection.. Here's my lovely Riga, Latvia connection.  That's fiber in the basement. It's low end, you can go up to 500mbit. But that costs about the equivalent of $60/month. This connection costs $20. Yes, former USSR kicks our internet rear end. EDIT: No caps, no traffic shaping.

Drakkus posted:(I work for Shaw, and this is my OPINION, and no more) I don't know you - but this framing of fairness and "has an impact" is bullshit. When we talk about UBB we're not talking about anything but last mile. Teksavvy has its own connections (that it pays for, that afaik are NOT related to Bell or Shaw) past the last mile. You appear to be (deliberately?) conflating bandwidth consumption past the last mile with actual bandwidth costs. Anything but cost+ in this is just pure robbery. Nationalize that poo poo.

The Sweetling posted:Gonna sound like a scrub but I'll ask anyway: should I install DD-WRT or Tomato even if I don't need all the extra options? Will I notice any speed increases? Some router firmware is not just slow, it's poo poo. For instance the DMZ/port forwarding on my crappy DLink doesn't actually work. I have to plug directly into the modem to get the ports to actually be exposed to the internet. That's a bit of an extreme example, but I'd say 3rd party firmware is pretty important. I know I'll never buy a router again that doesn't let me install it.

There's a lot of angry tech support dweebs in this thread. Embrace the rage, script monkeys. Twiin- I am in agreement with you. I would have escalated to his supervisor myself.

I'm on Teksavvy in Montreal, with a 25/10 DSL. I've got one of those Sagemcom 2864 modems, and up until recently it was working fine. However, in the last couple weeks it will just randomly crash. I assume that's what's happening. It won't be able to open any new connections, although existing ones (like a Skype voice connection) will stick around. Rebooting causes it to work again, for a while. It seems putting it under some load, like with bittorrent, is what causes it to die. Is there any firmware fuckery I can do to this thing to make it not suck quite so much?

So in the opposite of the spirit of the thread. They must have pushed a firmware fix to my Sagemcom thing, as it now happily will chug along with bittorrent open forever. Yay, Bell? Nice to not have to reset the modem every 30 minutes or so while downloading.

El Scotch posted:That sounds useful; where did you find that? My Sagecom's being a little poo poo these days. What, the reset or the firmware patch? The reset is in the control panel. The firmware I had nothing to do with, it just magically started working again.

infernal machines posted:What version of the firmware do you have? You can see it in the About page. It's FAST2864_v6740S.
