This may be on the particular ISP I had (Distributel…it’s what the landlord had…sigh…), but it seems like Bell and Rogers don’t really provide much transparency

This may be on the particular ISP I had (Distributel…it’s what the landlord had…sigh…), but it seems like Bell and Rogers don’t really provide much transparency into network status to those third-party providers. If there was a network glitch, Distributel’s customer service defaulted to “I dunno, must be upstream somewhere”.
- bcrl 5y agoDistributel is a primarily wholesale based ISP. DSL from Bell is basically useless at this point as the last major construction work of twisted pair copper phone lines took place in the 1980s. 30-40 year old copper wires are not a reliable foundation on top of which to build internet access, as the cables have aged poorly and suffer from water infiltration and ground faults.
