Re: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
Bell runs fibre connections from the local C.O. to multiple locations in your neighbourhood. Then they install an ADSL2+ DSLAM shelf to connect the fibre from the C.O. and ADSL2+ to your home. This is why it's a very short copper loop. This is called Fibre to the curb. And your copper loop is usually less than 1.2 or 1.5 KM from the fibre connection. Stephan Monette Unlimitel Inc.

Re: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
I think we should all notice too that Bell calls it Fibe - a made up word that makes us think of fibre, but isn't. Kind of like when Stephen Colbert commented on DiGiorno Wyngz, and their somewhat dubious relationship to chicken wings. Now there's a tag line - Bell Fibe, the Wyngz of fibre to the premises.

Re: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
I appreciate all the feedback and corrections folks have provided here... However I still don't understand why they tagged it as fiber (unless infact this is a marketing term), because I have **personally** verified and looked on site at the distribution box and have been confirmed by a bell technician on duty at the site, that in the distribution box which is only couple of hundred yards from my client that **indeed** there is no fiber underground (connected to the distribution box). It is all copper. The neighbourhood is also about 20+ years old. I thought, and I am still under the impression that its merely an upgrade of their DSLAM, that allows a higher thorough put of data to make 25 down and 7 up possible. Cheers! -- * *FOUNDER SR.

Re: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
I'm only speculating here, but I suspect that Fibe IS a DSLAM in the roadside brown boxes as has been mentioned in this discussion, but the high speed backhaul to the CO may or may not be an actual fibre-optic cable. For all practical purposes, does it matter if the backhaul is over fibre, or over copper, as long as Bell offers equivalent performance? I suspect that new installs are probably fibre to the roadside, whereas in older areas such as Reza describes the existing copper facilities will be used. Regards, Doug.

You can thank some marketing genius for that. Rogers has similar where they use fibre to the neighbourhood and then copper the rest of the way. However, they make no distinction when it comes to delivering the service. You simply get a cable modem and don't care how the signal gets to you. Performance also tends to be better. For example, I've had 10 Mb down and 1 up for years, but up to 50 Mb/s down 2 up is available. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: asterisk-unsubscr...@uc.org For additional commands, e-mail: asterisk-h...@uc.org
RE: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
It is also important to point out that Fibe internet and Fibe TV are related... my understanding having looked into it early on is that the Fibe connection is the route for both Internet and Fibe IP TV. You MUST have Fibe Internet to be able to purchase Fibe TV (at least on the technology side, maybe different if they use Fibe for other marketing). If you are watching Fibe TV, your internet speed drops (I was told ~7Mbit)... If you watch TV on another TV, it's an additional drop in speed, etc... Whole home PVR is an option, of course, recording TV is the same thing as watching it... there is a speed drop. At first I thought it was a hosted by Bell PVR (which would be interesting!), but at least back then, it was a box in your house... I would bet that there is QOS on the TV packets... so maybe an issue with SIP packets if there are lots of TV Packets. I was also told at the time, that TV Viewing goes against the included bandwidth caps. Which blew me away. I would jump on this in a heartbeat if there was a way to get more IP Addresses! (any ideas? Let me know!) Of course, all the secondary ISPs want access to this stuff for the speed and the TV side (Teksavvy has had IPTV on their coming list for over a year). So maybe it's just a matter of time... Of course, I welcome someone to correct me since when I did look into it, no one knew what the hell I was asking or talking about, and I'm pretty sure some people were just guessing.

Re: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
My firewall is running openSUSE 11.3 on an old computer. I installed the Linux version of the tunnel software, which connects to the tunnel broker in Montreal (there are others around the world). It's reliable. My home network is fully IPv6 ready, including DNS, with all my computers getting IPv6 addresses, in addition to IPv4. Even my Nexus One smart phone runs IPv6 when connected via WiFi to my home network. gogoNET can be used in single address or subnet modes. If you register your account you can get static addresses (required for subnet mode). They hand out a /56 subnet, which is comprised of 256 /64 subnets. There is no charge for this service. All in all, it works well. There are other tunnel brokers, such as he.net. He.net hands out /48 subnets, but I have no experience with them. I use subnet mode to my home network and also run the client in single address mode on my notebook computer, when away from home. All my home network computers have public IPv6 addresses. BTW, there are now some consumer grade routers that support IPv6 tunnelling (6in4 tunnel), but I haven't used any of them. Chuck Mariotti wrote: More info _please_! What's your setup?

RE: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
In the case of IPv6 you could tunnel to one of the various providers out there offering IPv6 tunneling For IPv4, all you need is a router that plugs into your DSL modem that is capable of establishing IPSEC, L2TP, PPTP, or GRE tunnels. Then you find a provider that could give you your IPs and traffic. There are many out there that can do this. We, Telnet Communications, are one of them. (It is a custom setup so don't expect to see pricing on our webpage, email me for details). -Original Message- From: Chuck Mariotti [mailto:cmario...@xunity.com] Sent: Friday, April 15, 2011 12:21 PM To: James Knott; asterisk@uc.org Subject: RE: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?

RE: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
Stephan was right on about the fiber to the curb. FSLAM is in COs. DSLAM, OCLAM, and CSLAM are 90% in the boxes in neighborhoods in Toronto now-a-days. Some of Scarboroguh and Toronto neighborhoods that have access to Fibe25 can get FibeTV as well. Otherwise FibeTV is not available. Don't make a mistake between Fibe internet and FibeTV because not all COs have the capability to provide TV yet hence FibeTV is not available everywhere. But it should be by end of summer to everyone. This is not false advertisement as they are using a fancy word Fibe, so be it - which is also very related to the backbone. And they are clear in the terms about that. I mean, is an Ultimate High Speed connection labeled by an ISP really an ULTIMATE connection as the word ULTIMATE is defined in dictionary? Besides this DOES have the potential to turn into last mile fiber as well which I am really hoping for because that well get rid of most the issue with copper/rain. ***I am not affliated with Bell :-) I just don't think they are misusing the self-made-up word Fibe. -Bruce Date: Fri, 15 Apr 2011 11:44:43 -0400 From: james.kn...@rogers.com To: asterisk@uc.org Subject: Re: [on-asterisk] Bell Fibre ?
