Re: The final word on setup costs? said by TSI Marc:If you are already on an FTTN service. Then a speed change charge of $25 would apply. Again, this is a direct pass through from a CRTC tariff approved charge.
You should clarify that on the site. |

Thanks, Marc for the word on that.
And that would also be the point when a Bell-issued VDSL modem would be shipped and provisioned, and the $8 per month Bell/CRTC pass-through modem rent would begin, as well as the rate plan price itself increasing to whatever 25/7 costs.
So the $25 fee would apply to the above situation, and would it also apply if a person on any FTTN plan wanted to change between 300GB cap and unlimited ? (either direction) |

| Here are the applicable tariff notes, for Bell Canada, for FTTN...
~~~~~~~~~~
4.(d).(2) Monthly Rates and Service Charges – Residence - continued
Note 1: For FTTN 10, FTTN 12 and FTTN 16 Residence GAS FTTN services, an optional upstream speed of up to 7 Mbps may be selected for individual GAS-FTTN end-users, for an additional charge of $3.75 per month per end-user.
Note 2: The service charge applies on each GAS-FTTN initial installation, and on all subsequent speed upgrades which require the use of the Company's VDSL modem. In all other cases, the Administration Fee per end-user applies.
~~~~~~~~~~
It certainly looks like we have some different interpretations being stated here about Note 2 above.
In my own interpretation, I would agree with morisato above, in that if you CHANGE from FTTN 10, 12, or 16, TO 25/7, the full Service charge IS again levied by Bell ($95 with TSI). A change from 12 to 16 would only incur the Administration Fee ($25 with TSI).
Of course, TSI is not obliged to pass on all the fees to their customers! |

Quoting BHell/CRTC gobbledeegook verbiage certainly does absolutely nothing to clarify this.

1 edit | Hey, I hope Marc is correct (and I am wrong, again), and it is $25. But "Note 2" above is not really that confusing! |

Note 2 talks about the upload speed of 7mbit... Not a download speed change from say 10 to 16.

Oh, OK Marc. My interpretation is wrong.
Sorry if I confused things here folks; just trying to be SURE of some of these service charges and fees, so people don't get surprised in the future. |
