Where I live now I pay 2 providers : 1 to Bell Satelight for TV, movies etc, and the other to videotron for Internet.
The new system will not only save me $60 a month, but I also got them to give me 4 months free + free movies + free streaming service (I forget the name but its supposed to compete with Netflix), and this new Live program restart feature, 6 TV support, and able to record 4 shows at the same time. Awesome.
For bandwidth, the sales rep said that its 250mb/s dedicated to Internet, but I am going to assume he is wrong anyway because if he's right, that would be too awesome. But even if he's wrong, I don't care because I'm not watching TV when I'm working, and I don't do alot of downloads anyway. It is UPLOADING That I will be most interested in using. Right now with videotron I am only getting 10mb/s upload and 62mb/s download.
Bidirectional 250mb/s will be kick ass. |
I've had a number of bell reps try and sell me on fibe but there are a lot of bad reviews out there so i was weary of trying it. it was better pricing than rogers, what i use now. upload is horrid with rogers the down is only about what you get but its enough. i guess i'd have to see how someone else's fibe on my street is before i would consider switching.
