I have the 7mb service, but Bell tried recently to sell me the 5Mb Fibe service (5mb/800kb vs my current 7mb/800kb) because, and I quote, "Fiber is quicker than copper".
you'll find people that don't understand what they're talking about at many levels at any comm company.
What they wanted to do DP, if they haven't already, is get you off of the legacy unlimited and on to a metered plan.
I'm on the 5MB (actually 6MB since they fixed what broke last Oct but on legacy unlimited at $73 / m. I could save a few bucks but I've watched my GB used head upwards at an alarming rate, between the 2 computers, 2 streaming internet radio devices, PS3 and the iPhone 4.
In fact last month I think I chewed up 50GB and I didn't engage in *any* activity that would make any IP property owner mad.
No way am I willing to hamstring myself to a fixed amount of data at home and I'll leave Bell the minute they try to force me off and cancel my phone with them too.
