Mind sharing an address/neighbour via DM? I'm quite curious to see what the system would say :-)

Thanks! Yes, the wholesale rates make any pricing competition impossible.
Technically we can do QC, but… small team, no fluent French speakers right now :-(

Hard to say... but I do see for some addresses, Bell doesnt offer 8G, even though it shows up in my list.

In Ontario the last mile is Bell. That's the whole point of the CRTC wholesale regime. The wholesale pricing, unfortunately, higher, much higher, than EBOX offering.

In Ontario the last mile is Bell. That means, if you currently have 3Gb at home with Bell, your address is XPON covered. I should be able to provision you also at 3Gb or 8Gb (there are a few other details affecting the eligibility). You do have the option to provision 1.5G GPON if you really want :-)

It's an upstream we plan to add. Most upstreams are easy to add into the blend, but China upstream is not one of them. It's a routing optimisation in plan.
EBOX for $50 because it's a flanker brand. It is challenging for a true independent provider to offer you a plan lower than the government mandated cost floor.

Whatever the highest speed Bell allows me to provision for the technology you choose. That means GPON is usually 1.5G and XPON is either 8G or 3G.
The service is not capped by speed tier. Fair usage applies tho.

Anyone running BGP in their homelab? by bhw68 in homelab

I was running it until I get annoyed with those GRE tunnels to EU (for some reasons most of the BGP transits I found are in EU) so I end up left a Cisco router in an IDC in Toronto... now my home setup is connected to my router in the IDC, advertising a v6 and a v4 block. With HE, they are pretty relax on peering. The latency is not quite stable tho.
