Anyone remembers this? It came with unlimited download, a free browser from Netscape on CD-ROM called Navigator 2.0; and specific speed was not guaranteed as it was determined by cable pair length and quality.
Well I'm still on this old legacy deal; Bell calls on occasion trying to get me to switch. I get reliable 6.04 Mb speed 24/7 as measured at speedtest.net which means with overhead and error correction Bell must have me around something like 7 Mb download. My cable pair length is 1.1 miles direct from CO, there still isn't any available remotes installed. My speed is limited by the length and quality of the cable pair according to tests done 6 years ago.
Just a few days ago a Bell sales Rep asked me again to change offering me Fibe 10 unlimited download at about $7.00 less than my current cost. The sales Rep gave me his word that I would be getting an effective and real 10 Mb speed but refused to put anything in writing. Promising to put it in writing only after I accept switching.
The word of a sales Rep guaranteeing a set speed increase without checking with the technical department sounds too much like B.S. That plus the fact they refused to put anything in writing is why I refused the deal. But my main concern is what advantages would I lose if I give up this old legacy plan; I will most definitely not take the verbal word of Bell as I have had too many experiences.
Any thoughts?
