Does anyone here have bell FTTH 50 or 175?

I didn't even hear this was rolled out. Anyone have these yet? 175 sounds sweet.

50 mbps is 79.99$ including modem rental and 250 gig cap. 175 has a 300gig cap and is 129.

if you're going with something with that kind of speed it means you're going to be downloading a lot... which means the caps they come with are useless...

webpages will not load any faster

browsing 50mbps vs 175mbps will be pretty much the same you're right. Still, FTTH is badass, has unparalleled reliability, a 1-2ms ping time to the ISP's network, etc.

I'm considering getting this for my parents, i have to confirm their eligibility. Here in alberta i have a 32/7 line with unlimited BW.

Hey brother, FTTH is wicked, I found out through work from some testers downtown. lol I don't believe they're ready for an official launch just yet... seems worth it to me... Get it while the price is cheap!

here's my direct fiber connection



Depending on which server I test on...
