Fibe, Questions..

Walter, they will likely run new Coax to your TV's, unless they happen to have been recently done by Videotron.
That said, my FibeTV installer I have about 8 weeks ago did one of the best jobs I've ever seen.
They even replaced the phone lines that were in my Apt and ran in a new demark point.
The Wifi on the Cellpipe modem isn't that good, you'd only get 12-15 megabits throughput on it, however saying that, you have Fibe7, so it will work just fine.

The wiring generally goes, Phone Jack -> Fibe Modem/Router -> STB's
From the router, they are genreally wired in with coax, although they can be wired in with Cat5/6.

Like you, I made the move over from Videotron, I've had severaly techs out over the years from Videotron, leaving messes, unsealed wires coming into my place that I had to seal up etc. This Bell tech I had was nothing like that.
He was professional, hid all the cables as best he could.
The install is a long process, he was at my apt. for nearly 5 hours, he told me when they do a house install, they're generally there all day, so be aware of that.

Cytherean, none at all, first rep couldn't cancel it, or so they said, and passed me on to retentions. Retentions couldn't offer me anything further than I already had. I canceled mid-month so they owed me 2 weeks in credits back.
Took 2 months but I got a cheque in the mail for the rest.
As for the picture quality, I was shocked at how much better it was then Videotron, the only real unfortunate thing is Bell doesn't provide any real demos for people to play with.
I have a large screen for viewing 55", the quality issues were quite apparent on Videotron, it's really a pleasure watching my new FibeTV. And the best part, there's 55 more Anglo HD stations when you compare the Videotron offerings.
And I never watched Videotron on demand, very little was high def, and the offerings were very few and far between, Bell had hundred and hundreds of movies/series, it's insane.

wzdj; the guy will likely need to run a new wire from the box outside/pole to where the modem/router is. If your wiring is newer they can test it and see what rates your line is getting. The wireless built into the Cellpipe isn't very good, it won't maintain rates above 15 megs, and generally maxes out at 10. That said, if you have another router and want to use it for wireless, there's no reason you can't. I've got the wifi disabled on mine and an using a Linksys e4200 as a salve, in dumb mode with everything but wifi turned off, just plug it into a network port, not the internet port. You can always try the wifi on it, if you find it's not strong enough, you can adjust it after.
If you only get Fibe 7 or 10, you should be fine with it.

If you have a look around your street/block for one of those brown bell boxes, if you have above ground wiring it might be easier to track down which on you're plugged into, the closer you are the better.
I'm right at the edge of mine, because of that, they were not able to get me the 7 megs up, but after some tweeking I am now sitting at 5.
My downstream with the tv off is still a solid 25 megabits, I did need to make one call to them last month after we had a storm and some power issues, my rates seemed locked down to 10 megs, 8 minutes later it was fixed.

wzdj - as for re-using the existing telephone cabling that goes to the phone jack that's near your TV, it should be able to be used. The Bell tech's will be able to figure out the best way to get it working.

You can use wireless that's built into the modem and it should work OK, but it maxes out at 10Mb, so if you sign up for one of the internet packages that gives you over 10Mb down, then you won't get the full speed if they give you the Cellpipe modem.

I have an identical setup as you - phone jack right beside the TV, which is where they put the Cellpipe. The Fibe TV receiver is plugged into it using a network cable. I also have plugged in a Linksys router and use it for wireless instead. I'm on the Fibe 16+ interent package, so I needed that to give me the internet speeds I'm paying for.

As for setting up a Linksys, I'm probably going to create a new thread about that, as there seem to be lots of quesitons about it...but it's very easy. Generally, with a Linksys, all you do is plug the power in, connect a network cable from the WAN port on the Linksys and connect the other end into a LAN port on the Cellpipe. The only next step to do is set a wireless password so only you can connect.


Then again - you might be lucky enough to get the new modem - I think a Sagemcom modem which has proper functioning wireless, but it's not being used everywhere yet.
