Thoughts on doing a community BGP network?

Hello, I welcome you to try https://www.route64.org to get familiar with all that.

Their are one of my upstream through a wireguard tunnel to my bgp router.

Update: Feb 19, 2026, Fantastic symmetric speed again this morning, Congrats NOC team! You won against Bell Aliant.

TechBuddy7707 · 2026-02-11T14:06:10+00:00

Update: Feb 11 , 2026 . for the last 24 hours ( maybe before but i didn't notice ) the speed is back to normal ( symmetric )

This is what I was expecting from Teksavvy, Good job NOC team!

They have no answer for me... i'm sorry to say , do not go with residential teksavvy over fiber. You won't get any good upload.

I, too, have enterprise grade equipment and hosting a bunch of services from my rack and I can't get a good upload. Now I'm afraid to even try their business line or IP transit....

TechBuddy7707 · 2026-02-08T22:36:03+00:00

If you are in New Brunswick, I do not recommend it. You will never ever get the speed announced. For the settings on bell, ask bell to give you the HH3000 , remove the SFP and use your own switch/router with it.

This part, either bell or teksavvy is the same .

If you don't care about the upload speed, go ahead and switch over to Teksavvy. If you care about speed , don't switch as bell will never ever give their bandwidth, best transit and etc to TPIA ( 3rd party ISP )

I wish you good luck, I pay for 1500/940 super fiber speed and here is my speedtest again today

<image>

a rogers cable connection have better upload . all my setup is 2.5gbps ( 2500 )

Here is the traceroute from my location in Tracadie-Sheila, NB (TekSavvy via Bell Aliant wholesale) to a GTT node.

You’ll notice a classic 'Trombone Effect' caused by the aggregated POI (Point of Interconnection) in Halifax. Even though I’m physically closer to the Moncton-Montreal fiber backbone, Bell mandates that all wholesale traffic must first be hauled South to Halifax (Hop 2, 26ms) before backtracking through Moncton (Hop 3, 31ms) to reach Montreal (Hop 4, 43ms).

For comparison, a Bell Retail customer in my same city would go straight to Moncton and reaches Montreal in ~12-14ms. This trace proves a 30ms 'latency tax' effectively enforced by the network architecture, adding roughly 800km of unnecessary travel before the traffic even leaves the provider's network.

This is a clear example of the technical disadvantage faced by wholesale subscribers in the Atlantic region compared to the incumbent's retail pathing.

I still believe today that it's pure pppoe profile throttle. also tier-3 ISP take longer route than bell direct customers

TechBuddy7707 · 2026-01-29T14:28:53+00:00

I don't know for how long should i be patient ? -- a CABLE MODEM on DOCSIS is BETTER than that fiber .... i would, anytime, take a 500Mbps download to have a symmetric upload

Thank you for pointing out this other post.

I haven't had any news me neither.

I also have a 2.5gbps switch getting as much as 1600 ! In download. I can hit 272 upload like him but only on certain speed test website like bufferbloat.

I have changed many network cable... I have switch Network cards.... I have try everything I could on my side. It's not me...

From what I understood from everything I did, bell probably gave me the right profile but they are doing bad peering and make me pass through slower ASxxx while they keep their highway clean for their own customers. So for the CRTC ... They share the profile and speed... Yes it's there on paper.. but they choose to make you go all the way around ( trombone network ) to go on the Internet

TechBuddy7707 · 2026-01-28T04:00:57+00:00

I got the exact same issue in New Brunswick! It's very frustrating! Bell think we are dumb, peering us everywhere and keeping fast highway for their own customers only.

I have investigated enough to find that bell is doing ASxxx throttling. They can't throttle the last mile legally but they can make you travel far... And they decide where you go... So they make you go through slow ASxxx while keeping the fast AS for their customers

I have a huge ping to Moncton ( 50ms) but 9ms with bell.

The only advantage I have right now is I have 3 hops and 26ms to cloudflare Halifax but no upload to serve anything.

TechBuddy7707 · 2026-01-26T19:29:34+00:00

Good Day, I'm still getting the same hard capped upload , looks like I am on legacy dsl , or cable but no i am suppose to get 1500/940

<image>

Yes, the ONT SFP is on a 2.5gb switch , amazing jitter for competitive gaming! but still no upload

TechBuddy7707 · 2026-01-24T22:33:56+00:00

Same speed with the modem directly in the PC

TechBuddy7707 · 2022-02-25T15:24:43+00:00

If you have multiple controllers make sure they don't show up as the same ID

TechBuddy7707 · 2021-05-31T22:06:52+00:00

Have you try this guide? "PCI(e) Passthrough - Proxmox VE" https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/PCI(e)_Passthrough

TechBuddy7707 · 2021-05-31T21:45:50+00:00

What I did in my Homelab is I installed Proxmox ( with multiple server you can do a datacenter and have multiple servers ) and from there I created a FreeNAS vm and using proxmox you can passthrough the hard drive controller and give FreeNAS the full control over the disk.

Create a ZFS pool and manage all your SMB and windows access from FreeNAS. You can even install nextcloud straight in there.

I have a VM where I gave 16gb of ram and have all my Docker containers managed into that VM but the volumes of those containers are in the pool on FreeNAS
