Re: Just wondering...
That's a decent deal, as long as it's not just a promotion and also depending how much usage you actually need in a month.
You're actually on a 7Mbit fastpath sync profile, but with the 15% PPPoE overhead, you're left with around 6Mbit. That's the reality of DSL speeds. The same goes for the upload. You're synced at around 1Mbit, possibly a tiny bit less, but after PPPoE overhead, you're left with ~700Kbit.
20ms ping to local servers is about what you should be getting. If it's consistently low like that, I'm happy for you. Often you only see really consistent pings like that on very underused portions of Bell's network. They tend to oversubscribe in many areas, and then claim 'congestion'.
If you notice nightly slowdowns or throttling, that's just Bell's little way of saying "I love you"  |
