Ehhh 1000/30 aint really that good, I have 1560/940 with bell on fibre optic and that shit is insane! Cable just can't come close to the smoothness of fibre, latency is much lower than cable, I get 1ms ping with bell whereas with Rogers(cable) I'd get 20ms+. Also anything I upload online is done insanely fast.jenneth wrote: ↑ For a limited time, get UltraFibre 1Gig Unlimited for 120 Months (10 Years) guaranteed discount of $28
Valid for new or previous customers who had canceled their service longer than 6 months ago.
I am wondering if this is a godsend for Niagara-Hamilton Area. We don't have any legit competition and this seems like a steal from my current deal ($70 for 60 mbps)
EDIT: edited to clarify the nature of promo.

Excellent technical explanation - you obviously work in the industry.NoWayHosEH wrote: ↑ Yes that currently you cannot get more then 30 on Rogers or most cable internet services but its not because its a coax network. It is not a limitation of the COAX network, its a limitation of how the spectrum is currently setup on the coax network, 2 very different things.

Maybe we are in the same neighbourhood. Telecon digging up everything, Black and Mac installing new transformers. Right by RomaGlenLalonde wrote: ↑

Funny thing is, Bell is putting fibre all over the area. Streets all around my street are dug up with signs saying Bell. They even have the plastic pipes hanging out as in many places. Will try to post a pic if thread is still alive in a day or so.
1ms is great, I get 9ms on Cogeco. I heard the FTTH 1.5G is actually limited by the home hub 3000 @ 940mb/940mb per GbE port. To achieve the max speed you need multiple devices downloading at once.aomous wrote: ↑

Yep ur correct, the HH3000 only has Gb ethernet ports so on my PC I get a max of 950Mbs down and 940Mbs up, however their new HH4000 which is slowly getting released has a 10Gb ethernet port and has wifi 6 so I am hoping to upgrade to that modem when it's available in my area. Either way tho my PC's ethernet port also only supports gigabit so I'd have to buy a 10Gb ethernet adapter if I'd want the full 1.56Gb/s I get to my modem lol.rob187 wrote: ↑ Maybe we are in the same neighbourhood.

I plan to get 1G plan, pull the SFP and pair with a MC220L to use my existing router setup.

I believe you would also need mechanical hdds in a raid configuration or SSD’s to actually transfer files at 1.5G. The highest local file speeds I’m seeing are around 125mb/sec to WD helium filled enterprise hdd’s on a sata6 jbod setup. Theoretical max on 950mbit is already 118.75MB/sec pretty much saturates a HDD’s write capability.aomous wrote: ↑ Yep ur correct, the HH3000 only has Gb ethernet ports so on my PC I get a max of 950Mbs down and 940Mbs up, however their new HH4000 which is slowly getting released has a 10Gb ethernet port and has wifi 6 so I am hoping to upgrade to that modem when it's available in my area.

I’m in Burlington also and my options are Bell (not fibe, not even close) or cogeco. Hate cogeco with a passion but they have the fastest speed internet here.Genblue wrote: ↑ Went back to Cogeco from Start in Burlington. Plugged in, I see about 930 down and 30 up.
It's been pretty stable with six of us using it at the same time with the exception of the DNS issue, which was resolved when I switched it to the Google DNS.
Not much choice if you want speed in Burlington.

I'm also in Stoney Creek but on the mountain near Ridge road ... and the service has been O.K. here but I wouldn't put it as very good, especially for upload (think live streaming).GlenLalonde wrote: ↑ Been very good in my area, Stoney Creek, Ontario.

Ah that makes sense. because I was a bit puzzled with first poster saying that's a coax limitation while we can reach 1Gbps+ upload with MoCA 2.0/2.5 for instance.NoWayHosEH wrote: ↑ Yes that currently you cannot get more then 30 on Rogers or most cable internet services but its not because its a coax network. It is not a limitation of the COAX network, its a limitation of how the spectrum is currently setup on the coax network, 2 very different things. First these cable companies need to get rid of legacy equipment that is utilizing spectrum that will be needed to increase the upstream bandwidth. These companies are upgrading to 1.2 & 1.8gig spectrum but they need to remove equipment and legacy services that live down low where it will be reallocated for the upstream bandwidth. This is why you cannot or soon cannot order legacy services with these cable companies. They will only offer their iptv service as that will allow the companies to move things around much easier. Over the next 2-3 years, I can see at least 500mbps to 1gig Uploads on a coax network. This will allow to support all the increases in bandwidth the population is using without the big cost of rebuild to fiber. Of coarse these companies only deploy fiber in new build areas and slowly replace really bad plant with fiber but in those areas with good coax network will be that way for a long time before they switch.

Also jumped on the BF deal as it was cheaper and faster than Bell (1Gb vs 100Mb). It was a lot of work at the beginning but it’s stable for a few months now. Definitely bridge the modem and use your own router. I have a Netgear AX mesh and get ~950Mbs wired and close to 600Mbs via wifi on a wifi 6 device.rob187 wrote: ↑ In the previous thread there is a lot of discussion about Cogeco modem instability. The recommendation is to purchase internet only and put the modem in bridge mode and then use your own router. I am doing this and have not experienced any reboots or outages at the modem. Unfortunately when you order the tv service from Cogeco you must use their modem as your router and will likely have reboots and issues. Basically you can’t buy tv service if you want/need stable internet
