Oh man. Not that I would buy anything from a door to door salesperson, but holy gently caress for the love of god never ever ever show them a bill or anything with an account number & address on it. Most of the sales people out there are contractors working on commission and give no fucks about the retailer they're hired for, just their take home pay.

Migishu posted:I guess living in Quebec does have its advantages. The less door-to-door people bothering me, the better. Any contests taking place in Quebec need to be submitted to the gaming commission well over half a year in advance for review and approval, and since most companies simply don't plan out contests and promotions that far out, they won't bother. It can be done, but you have to plan for it.

If you are eligible for Bell's gigabit service in Toronto, get ye to the Home Show. Better TV+PVR/Gigabit/Phone lite, free modem+install, for $99.90 for a 2 year term. Beats having to dick around with Rententions

I have the gigabit Bell Fibe on that 2 year deal. It'll be interesting to see what's available from third parties by that point. Hell, 100/100 would be totally fine.

http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2017/09/bell-calls-crtc-backed-website-blocking-system-complete-criminalization-copyright-nafta/quote:Bell, Canada’s largest telecom company, has called on the government to support radical copyright and broadcast distribution reforms as part of the NAFTA renegotiation. Their proposals include the creation of a mandated website blocking system without judicial review overseen by the CRTC and the complete criminalization of copyright with criminal provisions attached to all commercial infringement. Bell also supports an overhaul of the current retransmission system for broadcasters, supporting a “consent model” that would either keep U.S. channels out of the Canadian market or dramatically increase their cost of access while maintaining simultaneous substitution. Guh.

So at some point Bell's changed their gigabit from 1,000/100 to 1,000/940   I ain't complaining.  Anything to get symmetrical connections IMO.

Like lol sure bro, I totally believe you're actually making that much money but are too cheap or stupid to spring for a wired connection or a good access point, let alone a backup internet connection. You see the same thing on DSLReports any time one ISP is having problems. Like, my dude, if your work 100% depends on the internet, have a backup connection.

I think my fave new Bell thing is that there's no middle tier speed anymore. You got 25, 50, or 1,000 Mb options. No more 150 or 300.

Finally got a chance to test my fibre extender, and it works like a charm. So if you ever need to relocate your HH3K, you need a coupler and a length of fibre optic cable. Plus you can pick up from their counter if you want to save on shipping. 2m of cable and the coupler comes in under $7.00.
