Bell Fibe 25/7

**regder** · 05-05-2012, 12:46 AM

I'm on Fibe 25, it's 100GB cap btw, and they have reasonable additional data you can get. Normal download is around 24-25Mb, though rarely it's gone down to 18Mb, upload is a constant 7Mb. Upload is great if you plan to run a server or anything like that, though I haven't made any use of it yet. I don't have any other Bell services so I can't speak for any supposed slowdowns.

Only reason I went with Bell was the price, got 50% off for a year, should be around $37 before tax, hopefully there won't be any surprises when my first bill comes. Rogers was offering me the same price after discount for Express, 18Mb and 70GB cap.

Bell (and DSL in general) is garbage compared to cable imho.

I'd take the slightly slower Rogers service over Bell "fibe" any day of the week.

Their job is to install a new line to the house. My brother is finishing the setup himself.

I was with Teksavvy and I love them. Had to cancel because I moved into a house that has Bell already. The original plan was for the Bell Lite with was 2mb/2gb / month for something like 30/month. I called Bell and told them I was going to cancel and got to Teksavvy. Retention dept offered me Fib 16 + a bonus 40gb + additional 40 gb/ month for $31.95. (this is their normal 6 month intro rate that they offered me without contract). There is always room for negotiation. If the price changes i'll call them again and give them a chance to set it back to our negotiated price. If they refuse to honor that I move back to Teksavvy.

Well, me personally could not say not to the monthly price of exactly 0 dollars and 0 cents. The fact its no cap was just icing.

Well, no one showed. I wish I could get away with that at my work.

I have bell 5/25 and it is pretty decent. 3 MB/s steady download is good enough for me. I used to pay $75/month to Rogers for 1.4 MB/s steady DL but now I pay almost the same with the landline included for one year. My cap used to be 95 GB grand fathered with Rogers but now I am getting 140 GB. A year from now I will renegotiate or go to tek savvy.
