Bell DSL Internet - what's your top speed - NOT Fibe

[kovalev]

If you are interested in doing a kind of survey about the top speed with BELL DSL internet (or up to speed) your are subscribed to, compared to your actual top speed.
Using either Bell speed test or any other reliable internet speed test.

Be honest, when running the test, do not use internet for something else in the same time...

Here are my results.
Suscribed to Qc Essentiel Plus
DL 2Mbit/s UPL 800Kbit/s

Actual speed test
DL 2.15 Mbit/s
UPL 680 Kbit/s

So thumbs up for now ! p.s. Note the fastest available at my house is 3Mbit/s. with PERFORMANCE DSL BELL (the up to 7mb/s)

At my location, in Verdun, I get 25Mbit/s down and 7Mbit/s up. I do get the advertised speeds. I know that my local loop is approximately 300m from the house, and the sync speed is at a theoretical 50Mbit/s combined up and down.

In Stoney Creek, Ontario I get the full 25mb/7mb that I pay for. It's consistent and rarely do I have issues.

That's Fibe, not DSL, totally different since it's FTTN. Let's stick to the (DSL) topic of this thread.

I'm getting 4M down, 600k up

I'm subscribed to a legacy high speed (unlimited download)
Near Kingston, on

I think at one time it was advertised that i was supposed to get 6M download but it's never happened.

[flaminghomer]

Just got 6.23 down/0.92 up on speedtest.net. On the old 5/1 unlimited plan.

I'm about the same as flaminghomer. Legacy, grandfathered 5/1 unlimited profile.

I live in Lakeshore, just east of Windsor. Download is 1.4 mbps and upload is .39 mbps. Mover here in 2008 and had Rogers prior to the move. What a downgrade. Initially I was paying for 5 mbps down and found max was 2. Told Bell if that is all they can give me then I just want to pay for 2. So they lowered the price and put me on 2. Of course then it dropped to 1mbps. To get the two they put me back on 5 I gather but charged for 2 - which is all they delivered. Now it has declined to 1.4 and it is dreadfully slow.

Last year we took a lightening hit that destroyed a number of items including the DSL modem. That is when speed tumbled. A fellow from Bell told me that the internet is not like the phone and they are responsible for the line right to the DSL modem and they should solve the problem. Anyone familiar with that issue?

Cogeco has cable rights in our area but will not come in because everyone has a dish. If they did I wouldn't hesitate to move all three services because Bell just does not seem interested in providing service when it effectively has a monopoly.

Bell is responsible for the dsl signal right to the jack the modem is plugged into. Call them

[GeoStar]

They give me the wondurous speed of 2.56 down and 700 up in ottawa

[haywood]

Had my old speed stream modem replaced and now I get 6M down and 0.7M up

Although I am on Fibe 25/10, Bell has a speed test site to check your speeds.

davidtcb This is a DSL thread, not Fibe. See Post 4. I've left your post due to the link.

Coupled with the shamefull capping & throttling

[jdevlin]

You need to be careful of testing speeds. Some of the providers make sure the speed test sites are wide open so your speed looks high when in fact they throttle your speed at other sites.
