After a few months and a long time since the 3 gigabit video, this completes my series on Bell Fibre To The Home.
After having Bell Fibe 8 Gigabit for a few months, I have some choice thoughts. It's not what you're expecting, and there's a lot that needs to be done on Bell's end. In fact, there's a major and I mean MAJOR issue with Bell's internet implantation that doesn't just apply to fibre to the home.

I went to 3gb only because I was able to get a deal where it was 30$ less then what I was paying for 1gb. I hate the GigaHub so much but I live in an area where bell is really the only choice.

@cratelab 10 месяцев назад

Gotta say: Bell has been better than Rogers... when you can get the service in your area. After years of giving Bell the finger, I went back... best decision I made ... till i moved and had to go back to Rogers... #iwantmybellback (cannot believe im saying this)

@TechMixr 10 месяцев назад

Whatever you do, don’t use a password you use anywhere else with Bell (as you saw in the video I’m assuming) 🤦🏾‍♂️ It’d be nice if Rogers stepped up, and makes this a real competition. I don’t think they will, but it’d be nice to see it.

@monseigner1439 10 месяцев назад

interesting as usually! on the part about the Gigahub having issues, honestly I've never got any problems with it. I had it at 2 homes and it always has been fine on the stability (only the wifi is weak lol)

@CyFr Месяц назад

Few years back, Bell started expanding in my area... never really got a good chance to join. This year I had a door knocker, happened to get 1.5gb for approximately the same price ($55) as what I was paying ($50ish) 50mb with my cable package from a 3rd party service provider. This doesn't appear to be under a ~2 year contract. The giga modem was also paid outright with a setup credit. So I guess I won't need to return it to Bell or have rental fees later in life.

@TechMixr Месяц назад

Yeah they’re super aggressive in the pricing which is awesome. Hopefully you don’t get hit with fees down the road. But with the CRTC forcing them to share their networks, they have to remain competitive. Great deal you got!

Bell only has 100mb where I live which is what I have now. Rogers is offering FTTH symmetrical up to 8 gig. Probably gonna get 1.5 gig is it any good?

@TechMixr 8 месяцев назад

That’s a fantastic question which I wish I could answer. If they offer fibre to the home in your neighbourhood- go for it! Bell has shown their service is more stable at this point, but the fibre to the home technology is miles better than old Bell copper and cable services. Reply back if you get it, it’s not available where I am and I’m genuinely curious about how well it performs!

Hey techmixr I’m from Hamilton Canada and I live in one of those dreadful tall apartment buildings you speak of XD and I use crappy dsl and I notice when I game online I don’t experience lag but almost an input delay or visual noise that doesn’t seem right but then when I disconnect from the internet completely my games feel visually smooth and feel nice and snappy as they should I’ve been having this prob for a long time should I get fibre would that solve it or is it an electricity issue I always call isp and they say everything is fine on their end but I leterally can’t enjoy games at a competitive level because of that any help would be most greatfully appreciated maybe even discord if you didn’t mind but either way

@TechMixr 2 месяца назад

I’d get a power conditioner of some sort (like a Tripp-Lite) and try powering your stuff through that first before switching ISPs. But….. if fibre is available in your building, switch to it lol. It’s miles better. And in some odd cases, older copper lines could be passing electrical interference- it’s unlikely and shouldn’t be possible, but weirder things have happened.

Can you tell me how to get a constant latency connection with Xbox series X. If I do a detail connection test and it is 38 … I play one or two games of MW3 the next time I test it’s 103. We have Bell 3 G and the ASUS router…we took your advice. We get good speed but bad latency. Do you know what we are doing wrong?? Any suggestions??

@TechMixr 3 месяца назад

The sad part is from what I read about this, it seems dependant on IP address. Rebooting everything should give you another IP address. It’s become luck of the draw. When Bell eventually gets IPV6 this should hopefully be fixed.

One thing about the Rogers outages - I am on rogers and was not effected. I run my own router with their provider equipment running in bridge mode and use my own encrypted DNS server - The last rogers outage a week or two ago was simply their DNS service going down. The connection itself was unaffected. Never use provider equipment as a router if you can help it and never use provider DNS

@TechMixr 6 месяцев назад

Same issue at my parents when it went out. I swapped the DNS on the ASUS router I have connected to their ignite modem which I set to bridge mode when they first moved into that house. Other outages weren’t DNS related and their network maintenance just seems really sloppy at best. Bell’s DNS is ok but I have better luck using CloudFlare for sure.

hey buddy , hold onto the 8 gigabit.... bell isnt offering it anymore.... my buddy told me cause the crtc has made it manditory bell shares its fibre to third party.... they stopped offering the 8... now 3 is the only speed you can get.... anyone with 8 is grandfathered in and keeps there 8!!!! mine has been working pretty good... but as of a week ago im only getting 8 gbps down and 945 mbps up... tried rebooting my modem... switches etc.... tired on all my computers and cant get the 7600 upload i used to get!!! my buddy is coming over next week to check it out for me.... as having rock solid up down was nice!! my plex never skipped a beat...

@TechMixr 10 месяцев назад

Are you using PPPoE or Advanced DMZ to get a public IP to your router?

@disneyjayrides9035 10 месяцев назад

Ppoe

@TechMixr 10 месяцев назад

@@disneyjayrides9035 2 things to try. Run a speedtest on your main wired machine while you have the router UI open and check the CPU usage. I think the CPU usage is pinning. (I noticed this because of the folllowing): First, reboot the router and see if you get the speed back. (your CPU usage on the router should be lower) -- if it fixes it, there's something plugged into your network that's causing it to trip the router out (In my case, it was a video processing unit I use in my home theatre) 2nd, and this part is annoying, try Advanced DMZ instead of PPPoE (so remove the Bell credentials from your router and try Advanced DMZ which will give you a public IP to the ASUS). The thing to note with Advanced DMZ (on the HomeHub 4000 I have - I assume the GigaHub has a similar issue). Switch the modem to Advanced DMZ, it will crash shortly after..... then, power down your router. Then the Bell equipment. Then, power up the router first, wait about 2-3 minutes, then power up the Bell equipment. The super annoying thing about Advanced DMZ is that, if you change anything on the router, that makes the router reboot, you'll have to power cycle everything in this order. To re-iterate a point from the video, if Bell would just stop insisting on PPPoE/ Advanced DMZ and gave us a f@#!ing bridge mode, none of this would be an issue. **sigh**...... hope this helps. I know how frustrating this is, BELIEVE ME.

@roast54321 10 месяцев назад

Which routers/OS's use multi-threaded PPPoE? I don't think OpenWRT/LEDE, Mikrotik or ubiquiti uses multi-threaded PPPoE... or I can't find confirmation, most of the threads die on the internet.

@TechMixr 10 месяцев назад

It seems like they list it as NAT acceleration (at least ASUS does) which I’m assuming is hardware level multi-threaded PPPoE. If I disable NAT acceleration, it pins my router’s CPU to the moon and can’t get over 2.5 gigabit. With it enabled, I get full 8 gig and maybe 3% usage across all cores.

@roast54321 9 месяцев назад

@@TechMixr , turns out NAT acceleration is offloading NAT from the CPU (assumed it's offloaded to the switch chip). The additional overhead on the CPU can now be consumed by PPPoE which is why we see the performance increase. I think the mystery of multi-threaded PPPoE has yet to be solved.

@TechMixr 9 месяцев назад

@@roast54321 PPPoE is completely outdated sadly. We shouldn’t have to solve this at all. Rogers has us completely beat by using DHCP - it’s literally pathetic on Bell’s part to be doing the network this way.

@kyrothefolf 10 месяцев назад

You should try using a enterprise grade router like a Unifi dream machine special edition all though expensive they are amazing. Its more advanced then any conventional router but using one of them seemed to solve most of my problems with isp routers by using bridge mode on the isp modems and disabling DHCP. I'm not really familiar with bell since I'm from the west and most of us use telus fiber and only get speeds up to 3 gig. But telus has issues with bad isp routers too so turning all of those off worked. Anyways great video!

@TechMixr 10 месяцев назад

Sadly, it’s been documented in a lot of places that a lot of the UniFi stuff doesn’t do PPPoE well and chokes. Weirdly, the ASUS stuff seems to do it. But it shouldn’t have to be like this, PPPoE is so outdated and probably even insecure but Bell insists on using it. There is no bridge mode sadly, there’s this odd advanced DMZ (which is close) and PPPoE pass through. All because Bell doesn’t want to do a bridge mode because then, they can’t regulate how their wireless TV system works with their set top boxes. Rogers has a bridge mode and it’s dead simple. It just uses DHCP to give your router a public IP and done. Just like your Telus, which is the newer and right way to do this. PPPoE is so damn inefficient, and having these connections in our homes shouldn’t mean we need to buy enterprise gear, which in this case because it’s such an old protocol wouldn’t make a difference anyway. Sorry, just ranting. It’s so wild how stupid Bell actually is.

@apolamperouge6013 10 месяцев назад

i'm happy with my 3gb service. they offered to give me 8gb for the same price, instead I got a discount to keep 3gb. It was funny, the day they started digging in my neighbourhood for the infrastructure I went out to the contractors and told them to just dig to my house because I'm getting it day 1. They just went "oh, okay" and dug over from the junction box. Everyone else on my street has cable strung up over trees and stuff so I'm laughing. I unfortunately have to run cat6e cable around the house to my 2.5gb nics because im too lazy to cut holes and get up in the roof. I have a 2.5gb unmanaged switch that runs to my gaming machine in the living room and a tp-link archer ax-90 for wireless. I hate the pods, they are garbage. even if rogers could offer me something similar or better for the same or better price I wont go, I cant stand those jackholes.

So the Nokia device is offered by another company that Bell owns for their service. The other device (which I won’t name because I don’t endorse it because you could get kicked off the network for using it) seemed to work when I was testing it. The benefit was that you didn’t have all the extra bloated software Bell puts in their Homehub devices.

Yeah, although I am satisfied mostly with Bell (compared to Rogers cable previously which was very unreliable) even on 3gb most sites e.g. Steam will download something like 150MB/s max (not even 1.5gbps) It's nice to have the buffer to not have slowdown from maxing the connection but beyond that 3gb or 8gb is not quite a reality because if you do sustained fast speeds (230+MB/s) beyond like 10 minutes it will kick you off the network for 5 minutes or so (long thread on dslreports about that). So if Steam actually delivered full speed it would likely kill your network temporarily if you tried e.g. downloading a bunch of games at once. There was speculation that gigahub causes it but it happens to people who bypass homehub too.
