Hi Folks...
I am hoping to gather some insights and advice on understanding Bell's services. We have been using Bell HSE for many years (10 +) basically wired into one computer.
We are now looking into basically a full household upgrade... Upgrading the home computer, picking up an Apple TV, perhaps a Sonos and iPad later this year.
For now, the wireless service / modem /router is our first step. After reading a few threads it seems like the plan would be to get Airport extreme to do the routing and only use Bell's as a modem only? I am curious if that is a lot of tinkering or fairly straight forward, or bell configures it how you want... and of course if the apple router is worth it. Are there any others that have done this and can share some advice?
Also, our current service plan is not capped so these Fibe usage caps are a little concerning. I would like to measure our current usage myself so at least I can have a ballpark of what we would need/use. I assuming everything thing is considered usage from a torrent to, streaming a hockey game, to having internet radio stations on for hours, to downloading a movie in apple TV?? So if any one has ideas how I might be able to gauge my usage please give a reply. (I see teksavvy has higher caps)
Thanks so much for reading.
