Oh, well if it's not just wrong but totally wrong...

This whole "50mbps is equal to Rogers 5gbps" is a complete joke. I bet the Bell salespeople laugh every time they get back in the van for whoever fell for it.
I'm on 'team Rogers' if you will. I pay these kinds of prices for 1gbps. For the most part, I get the speeds that I pay for. Bell's 50mbps can't even come close. A megabit is just a megabit to me, and Rogers wins as Bell has failed to install FTTH in my area for the past decade, and even FTTN took 5 years longer than it should have.

Am I ignorant to the advantages that fibre optic tech has? No. Do I wish I had faster upload speeds? Yes (sometimes). Do I need gigabit? No, it's actually hard to use those speeds to the full.
But one fact remains - Rogers is consistently able to deliver 8-10x the speed that Bell's fastest (and most expensive) plan offers in my area. As long as that is the case, I will enjoy my cup of Rogers, even if I can't drink it all.

pretty much every home here has fiber to the home....which is surprising considering out population is only 70k.

As you well said, number of votes talk, why would you bother?

It depends which city and neighborhood you live in. Older ones don't have it. When new developments get built, when new condo buildings go up, Bell install Fiber to the Home instead of copper wires.
I live in an old neighbourhood an they recently installed the lines.

OP is either a Bell sales rep trying to scam people here, or got scammed himself and is in denial.

50Mbps on Bell Fibe = 500Mbps on Rogers? WTF are you talking about?

I explicitly stated “don’t quote me on this”, and further expressed my uncertainty about the multiplayer.

Don’t cherry-pick!

50mbps on Fibe is not comparable to 50mbps on regular internet. Don’t quote me on this, but I was told, 50mbps here equals to 5GB offered by Rogers, as this is an individual line to your home and nobody shares the bandwidth with you to lower your speed at busy time of the day. I don’t want to sound certain about the 10X multiplayer, but the fact that this line is not a shared line, is enough for me to believe that speed is not comparable.
This is total BS. 50mbps is 50mbps. 50/8 is 6.25 mb/sec max. Still very slow for today standard. And wtf Rogers 5g? Rogers gigabit or 150 service is always closer to the speed promised and faster then bell fbs."50".

Edit also this is also another bad Bs these days that cable speed are shared with your others using the cable infrastructure. This was true 5-10 years ago. Now they upgrade their infrastructure there enough bandwidth for everyone

Also bell user marketibg. Because their so called "fibe" it's not fiber optic. It's DSL internet that uses copper lines. It's all bs.

And yet you used that as the basis to start a thread about how great a deal this without actually verifying whether it's true or not. How's that any different from me saying something like
I got a Civic recently. You should buy a Civic because the Honda sales guy told me the Civic's 35 MPG is more efficient than the Corolla's 35 MPG. But don't quote me on this.
You can spew any BS as long as you say "don't quote me on this"? That, in and of itself, is BS. If you don't want people to quote your BS, then don't say it in the first place.

This thread should honestly be locked. OP is shady as hell.
