re: 14:18 - I love this content. It's super refreshing getting Canadian tech content at all, and your videos have been super helpful, and your opinion feels well thought out and from a place of experience.
in terms of the infrastructure and upgrading (digging, installing, etc), doesn't the government, both federal and provincial, heavily subsidize Bell to work on these projects. I believe I read that being the argument as to why Bell shouldn't "gate keep" the access to the lines.
My understanding was that they heavily subsidized Swift which I don’t believe was Bell. They probably contributed something, but either way, both sides are hilarious
Part of why I don’t post more content that’s opinion based about the Canadian market, is just how confusing it is ….. and I’ll get fact checked to the moon and probably be wrong 😂
This is a thing to think about. If a non-tech savvy (pardon the pun) person signs up for a 3rd party and is throttled to death, they’re just going to head back to Bell / Rogers. Bell is crying about the temporary loss of sales. Just be better, not cry babes and they’ll be fine 🤦🏾♂️
love your channel, ti have no idea how modern functionnality works but on ppoe side what i found hilarious is using the ppoe bypass i could chain 8 wan ip with tailscale as exit node.
I have the 8Gbps service and get 8.2Gbps down and 8.1Gbps up. There must be a bottleneck in your area giving you slightly slower speed. I'm hoping they're going to let those of us who have the service keep it.
Yeah, probably a splitter issue or something. Not really complaining about it to be honest lol We’re grandfathered in, so as long as we don’t change our plans or cancel, we’re good.

Yep... I had 8GB offering at my new place, but when I moved in only 3GB was available (which is fine) but the Bell guy told me they were also not putting new fibre in sub-divisions.
Great video❤, though seeing your opinion on isp throttling speed during peak time will be great to watch. As in my country my internet speed drops to almost 50% of what i pay for during peak time😅
@@TechMixrThats the thing! There are very less isps in my country so there is less competition. And those remaining isps all located in the urban cities, but not in rural city. I live in a rural town and there is only 1 fiber to the home provider so there is no competition. And their service is terrible and not reliable at all! When i have a problem with their speed, they just say its my router problem. And the prices of speeds are so expensive since there is no competion. Also no isp in the entire country wants to expand their network to my area.
@@amitnf yes unfortunately. I wish Bell would just adopt DHCP- and IPV6 and DHCPV6 It works fine because this router has hardware acceleration for PPPoE, but most of the time this isn’t the case and it’s sad.
I don’t want to spend $1K on an wifi 7 router. I cannot also locate ax89x as well. Axe16000 is the next in line unless you have a better and cheaper suggestion with NaT acceleration. I am testing few things but I need a multigig router to get to next step.
Great video as always. I do have a question for you. Do you use qos on your network or do you choose not to use it because of the amount of bandwidth you have?
I avoid QoS entirely. The amount of bandwidth coming in negates the need for it. Even when I was on 1.5 gigabit, I found it impeded performance. Without QoS it feels limitless. Hope that helps. Thanks for the kind words on the video! 🙏🏾
Great video brother! I recently got Bell 3Gbps and wanted to bypass the hub to use my own router. Is it safe bypassing the hub and which router are you using?
Rogers Fibre customer here.... I have dabbled in Canadian communication equipment and there doesn't seem to be alot on RUclips about this subject.... I have definatly subscribed... My current setup is fibre to dream machine and one wifi6 ap. I have two "Rogers Boxes" for TV and have implemented it 2 or 3 different ways (Network-wise) and the TV's seem to love it just fine.... I think Rogers will probably be the first one to say "Use your own shit". Hopefully.... My equipment is hooked straight up and I have been fine for a while now.... I've had FTTH for a while now and man, what a difference from the past....
And let me guess, you have IPV6 access. Bell drives me crazy. The speed is great, but the lack of IPV6 is sad in 2024. Fibre to the home is so game changing coming from Rogers cable. It’s not even close how much of a difference there is. Thanks for the comment and sub 🙏🏾

I have my Bell 3Gbit running through an AX89X as well with wired backhaul to a GT-AX6000. Pretty cheap way to have a 2.5Gbit network at almost all of my terminals. Looking forward to removing the Gigahub ❤
@@TechMixr also would like to mention that i’m a tech in the broadband field, I work in HFC and FTTH system and you’re content is on point. customers should know always there’s better options for cpe instead of their providers. i always advice my customers that want absolute control and better services, to invest in their own cpe.
Bell recently came by my area and offered $55 for the 1.5gb plan. I decided to take the offer as Rogers has been the only option for the longest time. Bell's offer was also slightly cheaper than what I am currently paying with Rogers (also a 1.5Gb plan). So this will be the first time I'll have access to FTTH. The only thing that concerns me is the lack of bridge mode. I currently use a Unifi UDR with my current Rogers setup and was planning on expanding into the Unifi ecosystem by getting an AP and POE camera. I am struggling to understand how I can bypass the Gigahub and use the UDR instead? I also realize the UDR isn't capable of 1gb speeds but I plan on upgrading at some point soon. Was wondering if anyone can chime in to help out or has had experience with this hardware already? Thanks
I know the Ubiquiti stuff doesn’t accelerate PPPoE well so the speeds aren’t great with it. Some people blame Ubiquiti, I blame Bell because PPPoE is awful. Rogers (and almost every other provider for that matter) uses DHCP which allows for a true bridge mode - PPPoE frames take a lot of CPU to process where DHCP is a cleaner way. I wish I had answers for you. Maybe someone in the comments can help you. But from what I’ve read, it’s a huge leap to get Ubiquiti stuff to cooperate and give you full speed. Maybe Bell will switch to DHCP (or even DHCPV6 if they can stop being lazy about IPV6 implementation) - sadly we have to hurry up and wait for that. Hope the service is more stable than Rogers for you (it should be)
@@TechMixr Thank you, I appreciate it! Ya the bridge mode on Rogers has been a breeze and it wasn't something I was thinking about with Bell until I realized after the fact...I still haven't tested things out as the technician came by to do the install, only to realize the FTTH feed was severed by a neighbors yard work... so I am waiting for the fix at the end of August. I'll report back my experience once I am up and running.. Do we know if ISPs that use Bell infra (such as Distributel) use DHCP? Thanks
I believe in their very limited fibre to the home rollout they do. But they have a lot of work to do to fix their backend stuff before I’d ever consider switching back……. Even if I got their fibre service tomorrow.
So cloud storage is interesting I’m on 8 gig but can barely get past 1.3-1.5 gig uploading to Dropbox. My network is obviously capable, but I mentioned it in the last video that the wider internet just isn’t ready for beyond gigabit it seems. Still a far cry from 50, come on Rogers. If there was ever a time to strike against Bell, it’s now.
I wondered why Bell doesn't offer the 8 gig symmetrical speeds in the region checker tool to look up the address to see if it has fibre internet available in Ontario and now I know why! I live in Winnipeg Manitoba and I can get 3x3 gigabit on my giga hub for $90 /mo and I fell in LOVE with the 0ms Ping!!! I put my UDM Pro outside the Gigahub into the DMZ plus to give it a public IP address for VPN's Plex Media Server stuff, FTP Transfers and more stuff that I need outside the gigahub on the external IP address on my XGS-PON Gigahub I am sitting on.
The problem with advanced DMZ is that it does some weird double NAT stuff. It may not look like it, but on equipment that can accelerate PPPoE you can see the difference. That difference gets even greater when you bypass the Gigahub / Homehub 4000 - but why the f#!k bell insists on PPPoE outside of laziness is beyond me.
@@GNRTVluckily for some odd reason, the ASUS AX89X and a few other routers they sell with 10 GbE capabilities have hardware acceleration for it. Not exactly sure what motivated it, but I’m happy I have one.
Had a Rogers Rep come to my home and stated that they now have Fiber in my area. However Fiber is only to there box. From the Box to my home is still copper cable. They claim 1.5GB down but 50MB up..... Really!!! Bell is 3 GB down and 3 GB Up!! That is fiber!
I like this content. I want to plug an ISP's SPF directly into my router. Bell doesn't offer Fibre in my building, BUT Teksaavy does. Show us how you do it.
So I read this before. Here’s the issue. The way I’m doing it is mainly for Bell and some other US based ISPs. It won’t work for Rogers and some of the other ISPs here. I wouldn’t want to do that video only because it would be false information for someone in your position who doesn’t have access to fibre to the home from Bell. Who is Techsaavy leasing the fibre line from, Rogers? If so, what packages do you have access to?
Maybe not for years. It kind of makes sense why Rogers is charging so much for their 8 gig offering on the very limited fibre rollout they have. I think we’ll see it come back as the internet is made more ready for beyond gigabit connections. I just can’t see that happening anytime soon. And with the CRTC mandating they share their lines, Bell would have a very hard time selling their lower tiers if another party can come in and sell 3 gig at a fraction (I covered that in the video) TLDR: at the moment with the CRTC decision, it’d be a bad business move for Bell to continue to offer 8 gigabit.
I think the CRTC has failed here the most. If they truely want competition why force lines to be shared over helping invest in other companies to build their infrastructure. We have Bell, Rogers and Telus almost controlling the entire infrastructure only having 3 companies and forcing them to share isnt the way to do it because eventually they will just stop increasing the infrastructure. I truly believe we need other competition adding new lines for a infrastructure from smaller companies weather they come from EU or US that will bring more competition epically in business regards where businesses buy a lot of direct lines that is set for them. I see some people talking saying why not a government funded infrastructure but with how horrible and underfunded healthcare system is it won't help us in Canada.
@@TheMegaOddly couldn’t have expressed this better myself. And there’s already evidence of this. Ask a Bell tech what their workload has been like the last 6 months since I put this video out. Part timers are leaving Bell because there’s no work and their hours are getting slashed even more. Remember, the CRTC is the reason so many jobs were lost in media with the weird decisions they made (Bill C-18) - they say they’re helping Canadians. Sure, they’re helping them look for incentives to leave when their careers are flushed because of piss poor legislation.
@@TechMixr That's what I am saying and Reddit and such brought this back up because of the CRTC official statement yesterday. People are quick to forget that Bill C-18 and don't realize it is actually hurting competition. People keep still wanting to push nationalization and from my experience of dealing with infrastructure that is managed by the government, Australia specifically as several branches are there. The internet is slower than some of our slowest speed caping around 1000Mbps. We don't need nationalization we need competition and an expanding and support for those companies so they can compete against Telus or Bell.
@@TechMixr They offer FTTH in Scarborough yet they only go up to 50mbps. Residential ISPs other than Bell only advertise download speeds at gigabit+ and put the upload speed in the fine print. Usually capped at 50-100mbps.
Unless you're referring to business service, this isn't true. Not sure about business service, but residential customers never ever had access to anything beyond 8 gigabit on Bell.
no it was a residential connection and when it was there the 1.5 gig and the gig were the same price and the three was 120 but the ten at that time was 160 per month, but at that time I couldn’t justify the $160 cost, but now that I’ve dumped my TV from Bell and only kept the Internet. I wanted to upgrade but they no longer offer it.
@@banplayer there wasn’t Really good friend is a full time fibre tech. Also, a project manager for Bell for all of Canada reached out after one of my videos to inform me about 8 gig as their highest package ever for residential last year from Bell. Not to mention, it’s been a high topic of discussion on dslreports that Bell didn’t offer a 10 gig plan and that 8 was an odd number. Now there allegedly was a 5 gig offering that only some internal techs could see but wasn’t offered to customers on the site.
I believe the only way to get IPV6 is a business line with a bgp session. But idk how much they charge for that, I might call and ask for fun. But bells backbone supports ipv6 so they just gotta swap the PPPOE out for DHCP and can just like add it on so it can be slowly transitioned over to aswell. I doubt they have equipment that doesn't support ipv6 if I have gigabit fiber either so no excuse really lol.
No.. rules have no base on why teksavvy didn't offer 1 gig vs 1.5 gig. It's cost control because the crtc rates that teksavvy has to pay the incumbent make its cost prohibitive. Traffic is charged.. so is speed rates. They also pay for interconnection. Rates are based on cost plus for wholesale. So for the crying over having to share is being paid for. They only supply the line, no customer service, no connection to the internet. Customers cost less to support from wholesalers than their own retail because of this. The crying is mostly because they lose monopoly control. Nothing more.
Well I switched from being a residential customer to being my own carrier so I can dictate my own terms ; aka my own carrier grade equips , plus I am able to and can fully program my resourcement and output. I mean I could easily also just program my routes too and not just the equipment of mine there as well and of course have ipv6 too as well as dhcp. It’s just the only catch of such thing were to be that if I were te’ve wanted my own fibre miles layout and all that , I would need ta hire someone plus get permission from the city and/or region I’m currently living inside ov which dependent on just how far I wanna take it , I could program my own wavelengths which’s running on fibre and EMGE(extreme-rate multi-giga ethernet) across the entirety of the whole of the net

We don't need nationalization we need competition and an expanding and support for those companies so they can compete against Telus or Bell.
💯 THIS!
nice buddy!!!
👊🏾🙏🏾
I'm going for one gig fiber, and I'm just a gamer.
You’ll see a massive difference coming from dsl or cable. Enjoy!
Rogers doesn't offer upload bandwidth above 50mbps
They do where they offer fibre to the home.
@@TechMixr They offer FTTH in Scarborough yet they only go up to 50mbps.
Residential ISPs other than Bell only advertise download speeds at gigabit+ and put the upload speed in the fine print. Usually capped at 50-100mbps.
In Ottawa they offer symmetrical gigabit and 8 gig for $400/ month to residential for some odd reason
@@TechMixr Other providers need to bring symmetric lines to Scarborough. There is no competition.
Last year they had a 10Gbps connection and that is also gone
Unless you're referring to business service, this isn't true. Not sure about business service, but residential customers never ever had access to anything beyond 8 gigabit on Bell.
no it was a residential connection and when it was there the 1.5 gig and the gig were the same price and the three was 120 but the ten at that time was 160 per month, but at that time I couldn’t justify the $160 cost, but now that I’ve dumped my TV from Bell and only kept the Internet. I wanted to upgrade but they no longer offer it.
@@banplayer there wasn’t
Really good friend is a full time fibre tech. Also, a project manager for Bell for all of Canada reached out after one of my videos to inform me about 8 gig as their highest package ever for residential last year from Bell.
Not to mention, it’s been a high topic of discussion on dslreports that Bell didn’t offer a 10 gig plan and that 8 was an odd number.
Now there allegedly was a 5 gig offering that only some internal techs could see but wasn’t offered to customers on the site.
We all must summon OOKLA LOL
PAY TRIBUTE OR CATCH THESE CLAWS 😂😂😂
@@TechMixr yes sir 🤣🤣🤣
I do the CRCT needs some changes in the rules policy's and the leaders and find pepole who knows what they are doing
AGREED!
I just like people that rant about bell not having ipv6 lol
It’s actually dumb that they don’t have it. Just plain stupid.
I believe the only way to get IPV6 is a business line with a bgp session. But idk how much they charge for that, I might call and ask for fun. But bells backbone supports ipv6 so they just gotta swap the PPPOE out for DHCP and can just like add it on so it can be slowly transitioned over to aswell. I doubt they have equipment that doesn't support ipv6 if I have gigabit fiber either so no excuse really lol.
@@TechMixrPlayStation Network runs on IPV4 so it’s a win for us
Since we're still using PPPOE... Bring back dialup!
Send your modem init strings here …
No.. rules have no base on why teksavvy didn't offer 1 gig vs 1.5 gig. It's cost control because the crtc rates that teksavvy has to pay the incumbent make its cost prohibitive. Traffic is charged.. so is speed rates. They also pay for interconnection. Rates are based on cost plus for wholesale. So for the crying over having to share is being paid for. They only supply the line, no customer service, no connection to the internet. Customers cost less to support from wholesalers than their own retail because of this. The crying is mostly because they lose monopoly control. Nothing more.
Well I switched from being a residential customer to being my own carrier so I can dictate my own terms ; aka my own carrier grade equips , plus I am able to and can fully program my resourcement and output. I mean I could easily also just program my routes too and not just the equipment of mine there as well and of course have ipv6 too as well as dhcp. It’s just the only catch of such thing were to be that if I were te’ve wanted my own fibre miles layout and all that , I would need ta hire someone plus get permission from the city and/or region I’m currently living inside ov which dependent on just how far I wanna take it , I could program my own wavelengths which’s running on fibre and EMGE(extreme-rate multi-giga ethernet) across the entirety of the whole of the net
Great video but please latency = speed and bandwidth = capacity. Fibre has low speed and high capacity… you are a great educator so please use the right terms IMO.
