LMAO @ the 100GB cap for 50/10
I cant tell for sure but by the wording it sounds like this is FTTH, that means Teksavvy wont have access to it.

Its not FTTH, its FTTN because its available in my area and I don't have FTTH. |

The website claims its not available in Ontario, which is correct, no FTTH here yet, I think this package is available in Quebec.
Could be an error or a trial specific to your area. |

According to Bell it is FTTH and my Toronto phone number qualifies for Fibe 50. I didn't see anywhere on the Bell site that it's not available on Ontario. |

At the time of posting it showed that page, I was able to access it until I entered my address in Ontario.
Now, at this time, its telling me I qualify. Interesting news. |

Although they try to make it seem like it's fiber to the home, it is not. If you click down far enough through the small print on their web page, you'll see that the installation of a POTS splitter is required for this service, and the cost for this is covered by the installation fee. It therefore must be delivered over copper. The statement, "Delivering fibre optic technology straight to your home" is very misleading and, in my opinion, warrants a complaint to the Competition Bureau. Did you notice that they use the words "fibre optic technology" instead of "fibre optics"? It's a subtle but important difference.
My understanding is that because of the CRTC's speed-matching decision, it is supposed to be made available to the independent ISPs on a wholesale basis promptly, although I haven't read anything about a tariff for this speed tier being presented so far. Perhaps someone from Teksavvy will have some comments about this? |

Yea, I know this claim went too far, if its not FTTH its just misleading you to believe it is, thats why in my first post, I said I cant tell for sure.
It's also very interesting that no TPIA provider has access to Rogers, Shaw or Cogeco's top speeds either.
I believe the speed matching decision requires all of these.
The only way around it would be if they had FTTH which wholesales not allowed access to.
Although this whole speed matching ruling goes back many years to when Cybersurf won, and we only recently got these FTTN speeds, so who knows how long bell will delay in filing new tariffs. |

In the cableco's last round of CRTC filings, they say they will only make speed-matching rates available on aggregated-POI as extra incentive for non-aggregated ISPs to migrate their service sooner rather than later and avoid wasting resources supporting non-aggregated capacity expansion when non-aggregated is officially end-of-life. |

Took Bell long enough to play catch up.
With the 3rd party rates that's going to be ridiculously expensive if and when they do. |

Ontario FTTH is up to 50/10, Quebec is up to 175/35.
I haven't seen any VDSL2 SLAM with 50/10 profiles. |

Hey guys,
I haven’t heard anything about this on TekSavvy’s end but I’ll poke around to see if I can find out.

Here is what I was able to find out.
The Official Answer: The 50/10 speed isn’t in Bell’s current tariff, so TekSavvy will not be offering that speed until we receive more information on that product.

Then theres the Aggreated POI situation to consider... so if after the next 2 years when TSI transitions to the Aggreated POI model it might be possible. Right now its not set up that way yet.

You see there is only one constant. One universal. It is the only real truth. Causality. Action, reaction. Cause and effect.

kudos:1 | Aggregated POI is a cable thing. My understanding was that Bell wholesale was already functionally similar to an aggregated POI on cable. |

I called Bell today as their site was showing that I was eligible for 50/10 and unfortunately it wasn't but they did confirm that 50/10 is delivered over FTTH and not FTTN. |
