Originally posted by infinity HiGH So, I've heard from 2 different people that apperently Bell has upped their $44.95 High Speed service to 3Mbps. Can anyone tell me when this happend? And did everyone get this upgrade too? Because for some reason I'm still paying 40-somethin a month, but my download speeds are the same as the always have been (100k's downstream, 12k's upstream). And according to an online speed test, my download can't even get over 1Mbps.

yeah happend in feb or march for me

I just got upped to the 4Mbps service from Bell. Really fast!!!

AFAIK both Rogers and Bell did this sometime ago

Yea, i got the upgrade.. went from a max dld speed of ~225kbps --> ~340kbps. I don't know the exact speed of the upgrade tho, i don't think it's quite a 3mbps line.. ?? Upload speed was bumped up by a bigger factor than the download speed, and i'm loving that since I use Bit Torrent a lot.

Infinity high: do you have High speed, or just regular DSL (there are 3 types with Sympatico, i have high speed). I don't think regular DSL got its speed upped.

I think it was March for me. I saw my max d/l speeds go from 180KB/s to around 320KB/s. I too have the $40 something plan with Sympatico. It depends on where you live Peter. They didn't do system-wide upgrade only by area. You should call and ask when they'll start in your area.

Down here in the boonies they upped my speed from 1.5 MEG DSL to 2 just because they set up my small town of 4200 people kinda late...only this spring actually.
Ive been 56kin' it here for over 4 years...

Imagine that! A courtesy speed upgrade!
