  1. Bell Canada says there is an ongoing outage of Fibe internet service at my address (since 6 am yesterday apparently) yet here am online via wifi. Has never gone down as far as I can tell.

  2. Ugh just spent 2 hours at a Bell Canada store trying to get a Google Pixel 4 LTE watch to work properly with a Google Pixel phone. They’re supposed to share a phone number.

    In the end: it is impossible and everyone gave up in despair.

  3. Judge refuses to dismiss lawsuit against TikTok, Canadian Court of Appeals partially overturns Bell decision, and German court rules takedown is inadequate.

  4. First, BURY THE ELECTRIC, TELEPHONE/CABLE...

    Next, force things like tree maintenance...

    Don't worry, Montréal learned NOTHING after two of the worst ice storms in MY lifetime. It's a f*cking miracle the electric is buried near SOME hospitals, etc.

    The City of Orillia is asking residents and businesses for feedback to help improve the city’s emergency response for future crises, like its historic ice storm... ctvnews.ca/barrie/article/oril #hydroquebec #videotron #bellcanada #polMTL #polQC #FAIL

  5. Adventures in #BellCanada #XGSPON, episode 3:

    Backhoes Strike Back!

    FIBRE FAILURE. Bell chalks up 47 hours of hard downtime on its residential fibre service in 16 weeks of operation, i.e. 98.25% availability.

    Today, transport fibre cut. Followed by PON node isolation, netting me two tickets.

    I have now ordered DOCSIS to provide backup because #BellMobility is completely unusable - I can't even hold up a HSPA connection, never mind a voice call. 👎

    Bell Mobility is about to be Cancelled x2.

  9. WHEN IS BELL CANADA GOING TO USE THEIR IPv6 ALLOTMENT FOR HOME USERS MY GOODNESS

    how can ROGERS and co, using coaxial cabling that can barely handle 100Mbit of upload bandwidth, provide IPv6 without even ASKING.

    bgp.he.net/AS577#_prefixes6
    They HAVE v6 prefixes and peers even!! But it's used mainly for mobile it seems. Argh!!

    jptrainor.github.io/ipv6/2023/

    This is an excellent guide otherwise.

  10. Bell Canada, how low can you go? Hours ago, I signed up to switch my Fibre internet service to TekSavvy. A few minutes go I got a call from Bell, offering to lower my rate. So apparently lower rates are only a good business practice when it hurts smaller players.

    Gross. #BellCanada

    cc: @andykm -- I'm assuming this doesn't rise to the level of a CRTC complaint.

  11. Dear dental office. Please stop sending text reminders to my landline, which cannot receive texts. Sadly #BellCanada doesn't send a note saying 'this number cannot receive texts'. It would be handy if they did.

  12. Niki Ashton to question Bell CEO at committee this Thursday April 11.

    Bell laid off 5200 people so the NDP forced them to show up to the House of Commons Heritage committee.

    Click on the link and fill and submit the questions you think Niki Ashton should ask Bell's CEO.

    They will go through the questions and ask the best in committee Thursday.

  14. @freezenet #Canada #Cdnpoli #BellCanada #Bell #Business #Capitalism

    It must be incredibly stressful for all Bell Canada employees other than senior execs. Living quarterly restructuring to quarterly restructuring, waiting for the group video call or group email telling you that it is now your turn to sacrifice your job and your family's income to finance Bell Canada's next quarter's share buyback and Senior Management Bonuses.

  15. #Rogers days of being the high end ISP are clearly over.

    This was signally when Rogers surrendered on IPTV service & outsourced it to Comcast, just like Wireless outsourced to Ericcson. It is now just a sales front end, following the exact same path as Sprint US.

    The #financialization of Rogers Internet service is well under way.

    Rogers refused to sell me Internet below $90/mo.

    #Teksavvy on the other hand made it *easy* to do business with them.

    #BellCanada #Fibre it is.

  16. Listening to BCE's #BellCanada annual results call.

    tldr; doubling down on data selling and ad revenue.

    cutting 4800/9% employees and 750 contractors, the largest hackjob in 30y. This will save ~$250M, less than the company has paid for the presenting CEO and CFO over the past 5 years...

    Mad as hell that the govt. is opening fibre to competition and are going to sulk about it by slowing the rollout and capping the available speeds at 3Gbps.

  17. Fricken #BellCanada and #Rogers #anticompetition #internet in #Canada. Step up #CRTC.

    I just went to set up #TekSavvy for my new apartment and apparently the #FiberOptic line going into the building is blocked for #IndepententServiceProviders. I've been with TekSavvy for probably close to 20 years (National Capital Freenet before that).

    Especially ridiculous that they can do this going into an #AffordableHousing building and charge tenants whatever ridiculous inflated rates they want.

  18. As expected, Crave (Bell) says too bad so sad, fuck off, no refunds. American Express similarly not interested. Not surprising. Cancelled my #Crave #CraveTV from #Bell #BellCanada, maybe will sign up with #ParamountPlus directly.
