Executive summary : anyone on the 1.5 (standard) DSL service is going to get upgraded to 3megs (Ultra) speed for the same price. Anyone on the 3meg service will be bumped up to 4meg DSL (same price too). The news release is from Bell but it should affect any DSL user (i.e. if your DSL provider is someone other than Bell)
TORONTO, Dec. 15 /CNW/ - Offering the best performance in its class, Bell
Canada will double the speed of its High Speed Internet service from 1.5 Mbps
to up to 3 Mbps. Also receiving increased speeds are Bell Internet customers
who are currently on the 3Mbps service will move to up to 4 Mbps. Uploading
performance for both of these customer groups will increase five times to up
to 800kbps.
These speed upgrades will deliver measurable performance improvements
through Bell's further investment in network capability, not achievable by
just changing modem settings. The price for the enhanced service will not
change for either Bell residential Sympatico customers or Bell Business
Internet customers.
Bell's high-speed Internet service is the country's broadband market
leader with 1.4 million business and residential customers. Unlike cable high-
speed, Bell's high speed connections are carried via a dedicated line and are
not shared among users. This provides for greater consistency of speed
regardless of the time of day.
