AFAIK theres no longer any way to get their attention unless you're a
customer AND have signed up for their online portal system at
https://my.level3.com/ - and I wouldn't expect anything stellar
then either. You'll likely have to do your own troubleshooting through them
as my recent experiences have shown little to no clue or assistance from
them. They were happy to do as asked but weren't able, or willing, or
whatever to do anything on their own. Make certain you get the problem
category right too or you'll be stuck in the wrong team without any of them
telling you that.

Oh no, you can't have a cross-connect.

I'm told second hand that when MCI/worldcom (now Verizon Business)
controlled 8100 Boone Blvd (the early MAE-East) you had to buy a data
circuit from them to get between floors. Not a cable or a
cross-connect. A data circuit at the 0-mile tariffed price.

I know first hand that when I bought a Verizon Business data circuit
at a carrier-neutral colo and asked them to move the IP addresses from
my Verizon Business colo to the data circuit, they refused. It took me
longer but I canceled the colo anyway. And the circuit too. Jerks.

 But I don't need it in the sense that I'll lose money or customers if I don't

Assuming a service provider is looking to stay in business by delivering
more services on top of your garden variety Net, then considering the
quality of the pipe coming into the home is the first thing.

If I built an FTTH network (which would be Active-E, in my case), I'd
deliver 1Gbps to every home. This does not mean I am going to sell 1Gbps
of Internet access bandwidth to that home. It just means I have 1Gbps of
bandwidth into the home. And what can I do with that?

- I can sell classic Net.
- I can sell classic Voice.
- I can sell classic Tv.
- I can sell Streaming Tv.
- I can sell VoD.
- e.t.c.

When I market to my customers, I don't market You have 1Gbps in your
home. Now go make babies. I market the services I will be able to
deliver over that bandwidth. If an ISP can deliver 1Gbps into the home,
why limit thinking to conventions around bandwidth? Customers only care
about bandwidth if it's getting in the way. Otherwise, all they want to
know is how many VoD streams they can enjoy in 1080p, how many
concurrent iPads and laptops in the house they can download a full movie
on in 5 minutes, how many sports channels come in the Tv package, and
whether they get flat-rate for international voice calls.

The bandwidth - well, that is a given. You have to deliver all those
services somehow... 1Gbps is just a port on a switch; it's not that big
a deal.

Oh sure there is. What happens when you use Carbonite or one of the other 
online backup services and needed a full restore? I bet the average home user, 
considering one to three or four PCs, could easily have a few terabytes of 
data. A 500G disk dies and you restore a backup. Bingo, you’re pegging the

Or even routine backups. On my Mac, after an average day at the office, my Time

Parkinson's law of sorts? Use expanding to fill the bandwidth available

One kid with a torrent downloading random stuff, streaming hd and music off the 
internet etc and a family of four can make decent inroads into gigabit or so I 
would have thought 

Don't even start counting say a gb here and several mb there in software, os 
etc upgrades across a variety of devices.

Exrtrapolating from current usage levels on comparatively lower speed broadband 
doesn't quite make sense to me

I have worked on server room networking, and found that it takes quite a 
bit of tweaking of the interfaces and the TCP stack to get things up to 
80 percent usage of a gigabit link.  Both ends.  So your side can go 
like the wind, but your data source may not be able to fill the pipe. 
So I agree that, for most people, this will be pure marketing hype.


As for the 4400 users, that's the classical oversubscription model.

Your right. Actually, Bell knows that home does not need that much BW, Bell 
size their network for much less than that. However, from a marketing 
perspective, when Bell says to a client I am offering you 1G at $100 and 
competition are offering you 30M at $60, some clients likes that because they 
ignore that 1G will not make a difference compared to 30M.

Also Bell is currently using ADSL technology to provide internet service which 
is a dead technology. So, Bell has no choice but to move to fiber if they want 
to stay on the market.

We recently had to pull some year over year statistics on consumption 
for a regulatory filing.


In 2009, our average customer used 11G of data.  This year it is 
85G.   In 5 years it could be 400G or more.


What's worse is, OTT video means that consumption is more than likely 
going to be at peak hours, driving capacity issues.


The average multi device household streaming HD video and gaming, and 
whatever else comes along will drive usage.


I honestly don't care what people do with their Internet 
connection.  I just know that I need to find ways to deliver more, 
because they're going to want it - even if they don't need it.

Define need. On the average, I probably don't need more than 56 KBaud,
integrated over all the years I've been linked to the 'Net from home. Would I
be willing to put up with it? Hell, no! Would I be willing to put up with 10
Gig to the house for what I'm paying now? Emphatically yes.

Ditto 1 Gig. What I'm getting isn't more than 10 megabit down and 2.5 up, so a
fatter pipe would be very welcome. At the same price, or even another $50/month.

But I don't need it in the sense that I'll lose money or customers if I don't

amounts to 39 bucks per gigabit.

Bell's 1Gbps is by no means the world's fastest internet.

Not even in Canada:

 90 kilometres north of Calgary – they have access to one Gigabit per

 with no data caps.

Also, is Bell any different from ATT and Verizon in that it doesn't

After you increase the download speed above a certain threshold, it's my 
experience that total data per month doesn't increase more than marginally 
with speed increase. As soon as access speed is high enough so youtube, 
netflix etc automatically goes to the highest resolution immediately, data 
transfered per month is the same even though the access speed goes up.


So when you go from 5 to 10 megabit/s towards the user, yes, data amount 
increases, but when you go from 100 to 250 megabit/s towards the user, not 
so much.

Re: World's Fastest Internet™ in Canadaland

2015-06-26 Thread Jared Mauch
The issue here is economics.  1G hardware is cheap, as in sub-$100 for
a 1G CPE with SMF in one side and RJ45 out the other.

Even if you decide to limit yourself at 100m or similar, if you build it at the
optics side, it is more expensive than building at 1G.

Because of this, 1G is the most sensible speed/solution.

I believe that many people won’t get a real quantity of usage from their
links because they will be on 2.4ghz wifi regardless.  If you have your
home wired, you might get something faster but the largest users these days
tend to be adaptive streaming video which uses around 16Mb/s for a 4K stream
from Netflix, or software updates from Apple.

Speaking of which, since 8.4 is launching next week and tends to be
one of the larger internet events these days (more so than victoria secret
turned out to be by ratio) I’m awaiting a surge of software updates
for all the iDevices around the world.

Good points. But just like I won't take more than one shower at a time, I
probably won't watch more than one Netflix stream session at a time
(assuming that for myself only). Downloading a large ISO image in seconds
is definitely a plus, although at the office I never reach a steady 120MB/s
from some Linux mirror out there. I've recently created a Debian mirror and
the 1500GB or so of data came at an average speed of 270mbps using a 1gbps
datacenter link.

I think it will still be a while until we can saturate a 1gbps link inside
the average home. While there are people working hard to deliver 1gbps
FTTH, there are others working equally as hard in developing video
compression algorithms to utilize less bandwidth on the content provider
side.

Not arguing against it, I'm just throwing gas at the fire to see what
different perspectives come out.

 Overkill is good provided it doesn't cost too much more.  You want
 the connection speed to not be a limitation on what you are trying
 to do.  1G does that at a good price point these days.  At some
 point in the future 1G will seem slow and there will be a new speed
 that stops the link speed being the limitation.

 You don't think about the size of power lines coming into a house
 as they are overkill for just about anything you will do in the
 house.

 You don't think about the size of water pipes coming into a house
 as they are overkill for just about anything you will do in the
 house.  Very occasionally you will want to connect directly to the
 mains (filling a pool) but otherwise the pipe is more that sufficient.

 The worry should be over the gigabytes transfered, the kilowatthours
 and the kilolitres consumed which are the actual resources being
 delivered.

 Unfortunately ISP's have made it about link speed rather than what
 it really is about because link speed was the limiting factor.

When 1Gbps becomes mainstream to the home, I think it will stop being
about link speed (well, for a while anyway, because who knows...).

As others have mentioned, a single device pulling 1Gbps in the home is
asking a lot, even if it were connected to the home router via
copper/fibre. As most devices in the home will be wi-fi-based, 1Gbps is
safe (for now). Of course, more devices in the home will put pressure on
1Gbps, but not before they put pressure on the wi-fi network. So again,
1Gbps is safe, for now.

The wired devices that could draw on that 1Gbps big time will be the
STB's, gaming consoles (even those use wi-fi), home media servers,
e.t.c. Depending on what one does with those, they may or may not draw
much from the 1Gbps fibre coming into the house.

Even if the service provider was dropping a 1080p or 4K IPTv Multicast
stream into 3x STB's in the home (one for the living room, one for the
man-cave and another random one in the house), and each STB had at least
two tuners (watch on one tuner, record from another tuner), you're still
looking at less than 120Mbps for all 3x STB's running + recording
simultaneously, assuming each tuner is pulling 20Mbps when active. Of
course, with 2015 families not glued to their Tv's as much as previous
generations did, that is less demand for classic Tv.

So all in all, with 1Gbps, there is a reasonable chance that, at the
very least, the connection between the home and the nearest service
provider switch will be utilitarian. The problem now is, who gets that
1Gbps link to their house, around the world?

It’s not just about the transfer rate, though.

As has been noted, response times at peak congestion are definitely faster if 
you have more bandwidth.

So if you’ve got 3 kids all wanting to stream different HD5k content, 50Mbits 
is going to get interesting.
100Mbps will probably handle it with enough of a jitter buffer. 10G you can 
probably play instant on
and let the jitter buffer build while playing the first few seconds.

There are a number of other tactics that can improve user experience with more 
bandwidth than is needed
for the long-term average.

Average transfer rate is a silly way to measure anticipated user experience, as 
has been pointed out by
others.

 How does one fully utilize a gigabit link for home use? 
 
 we once asked how a home user would use 56kb, how anyone needed more

10Gbps inside the home at an economical price for the phys means IP Multicast 
can finally be a viable alternative (replacement for) HDMI.

No more will you connect one Blu-Ray player to One Amp to One TV. You’ll just 
connect them all to ethernet.

Amps and TVs will have UIs which allow you to subscribe to streams provided by 
Blu-Rays and other media sources.

Want to watch something on two TVs while listening to the audio through a 
particular amp in the house, no problem. Set up the
stream on the provider device and subscribe on the TVs and the Amp. When it’s 
all set, press play and enjoy. Want to pause
it and move to a third TV and change amps? No problem. Pause, reconfigure the 
subscriptions, and resume.

Of course this will require the RIAA and their friends to either come up with 
new ways to be obnoxious to consumers or
to perform an extraction of their crania from their collective rectums about 
DRM in order to be viable, but I’m sure one or
more of those things will happen eventually.

 Unfortunately ISP's have made it about link speed rather than what
 it really is about because link speed was the limiting factor.
 
 When 1Gbps becomes mainstream to the home, I think it will stop being
 about link speed (well, for a while anyway, because who knows...).
 
 As others have mentioned, a single device pulling 1Gbps in the home is
 asking a lot, even if it were connected to the home router via
 copper/fibre. As most devices in the home will be wi-fi-based, 1Gbps is
 safe (for now). Of course, more devices in the home will put pressure on
 1Gbps, but not before they put pressure on the wi-fi network. So again,
 1Gbps is safe, for now.
 
 The wired devices that could draw on that 1Gbps big time will be the
 STB's, gaming consoles (even those use wi-fi), home media servers,
 e.t.c. Depending on what one does with those, they may or may not draw
 much from the 1Gbps fibre coming into the house.
 
 Even if the service provider was dropping a 1080p or 4K IPTv Multicast
 stream into 3x STB's in the home (one for the living room, one for the
 man-cave and another random one in the house), and each STB had at least
 two tuners (watch on one tuner, record from another tuner), you're still
 looking at less than 120Mbps for all 3x STB's running + recording

I'd say for any kind of serious FTTH deployment, peak hour average user 
will be around 0.5 - 2 megabit/s, so if you actually want a user who buys 
100/100 to be able to use that at peak hour, you're looking at an 
oversubscription factor of around 1/10th of the above, ie around 500 
users on a gigabit ethernet uplink.

Not necessarily just shitty ISPs either. Like certain data centers

And defend the current regulatory regime well they do.  I live literally 
minutes outside of the Ottawa urban area and I have as choices for 
network connectivity either LoS wireless or satellite. I can, however, 
stand at the end of my driveway and look in EITHER direction to see 
houses that can get cable service, yet none of the incumbents are 
willing to service my little stretch of road (affecting me and ~5 
neighbours).


I'm told by the neighbours (I just moved here) that they've been bugging 
the incumbents for YEARS and getting no traction at all. I'm thinking of 
pricing out a fiber run and running a little local co-op network access 
provider for me and the neighbours, but I suspect that install costs 
might nix that idea.


(For extra fun, I was told by one of the incumbents that my address was 
serviceable with up to 150Mbps cable before I purchased the property.  
Then when I took possession and tried to get service set up -- nope, 
sorry.  But that's a whole other story...)
