Example of deception from Bell. Communication networks are fiber networks already Telephone, Data, Video etc. and its only the "last mile" that is copper. This a ridiculous marketing scam. We don't call our land line phones "fiber phones". Thus only FTTH should be called fiber. This "Fiber" connection is just a really short DSL connection to increase the speeds of DSL. Where I am I have an FTTH connection with Bell Aliant in & get 30 Mbits up & 70 Mbits down..it pretty sweet. $75 month
Personally yeh ok maybe its not 100% fibre optic. Possibly just stating the majoraty of the transfers beyond your residence is fibre optic. I have bell fibe, i had rogers. I paid same ammount, now my downloads are 700kbs faster and my download limit is higher. Plus i dont know if it was my area, but i got d/ced more then twice a night with rogers. Not anymore.
I could personally care less how it is directly wired as long as it runs well and does what it is advertise. If it has faster upload speeds that is great because Rogers is still a piece of crap service STILL only running at 1mbps - 3mbps(max) upload speed even at a 15mbps download speed package! Both Rogers and Bell still have limited bandwidth and refuse to release bandwidth packages to allow people to buy additional usage. I think neither company is competent at providing Internet service.
This is blatant false advertising - I worked in the industry when dial-up was the standard yet we had fibre in our network. Could we have called our service "fibe". I guess but it would have been ethically despicable.
It's Fiber to the node which is the box on the street, then it uses DSL to connect from your home to the node. Connecting from your home to the central office with DSL you would not be able to get 25Mbps unless you literally lived across the street from it. The fiber in the node is what allows the faster speeds so who cares how your home physically connects to it? They would only be lying if they said 25Mbps but really you only got 6.
No its not completely new, for most Canadians its the same old Bell sympatico internet. You've bought the lie that Bell's salespeople are telling people to get them to sign up. Bell is slowly upgrading their connection to local nodes to allow them to offer faster services, but even upgraded its still DSL technology.
I had Fibe 16 connection installed to my house just last weekend. Its over a copper wire to a DSL modem / router combo. Where's your evidence to the contrary?
@thejumpers96 the incoming connection is indeed full fiber optic i just got fibe 25 after having Cogeco plus 50 which is 50 down and 25 up it is ridiculously fast and i am switching back the bell was a trial so ya im still using cogeco
Seriously? The level of intelligence on the internet is very lacking. Just because it is faster you assume that it's "full fiber optic"? Is/was there a fiber optical cable plugged into your internet modem or a regular phone line or coax copper cable? If the cable plugged into your modem was not a fiber optic cable similar to the type you would plug into your stereo then it's not FTTH and full fiber optics.
@foresttechlondon You might want to take your own advise as I am a Bell Fibre installer and trust me, I run a fibre(glass) drop right directly into the customers home. The Rogers regular phone ad is a blatant lie. I install this everyday and it is the real deal. PERIOD.
Well the way the commercial is worded and the way their salespeople speak, they're actually trying to sell it as FTTH (Give them a call to sign up and see for yourself). When I first saw the commercial I was excited, as I thought Bell might FINALLY be using the billions they've milked off Canadians via their monopoly position to roll out FTTH.
Why else would the name "Fibe" be chosen for the service except as a blatent attempt to mislead?
Well, cable internet uses as much fibre optic as Bell does--if not more. I don't see the point in subscribing to a company that prides itself on misleading statements and lies. Moreover, Bell never states that their internet gets slower for every metre that separates you from their DSLAM. Cable companies don't say that, because they don't need to ridicule other services, since they already have REAL quality internet service in constrast to Bhell.
Bell ALWAYS misleads their customers. It's awful. And they have the worst customer service.

Bell, like all providers, uses fibre optic cable in it's network. Fibre-to-the-home is different and Bell is not claiming to offer FTTH here.

@SonOfTheUglyMan They're starting to install ftth in some area around Montreal, where the distance is too far to give faster services
