It's basically a loopback time.

Also, why Bell (your service provider) rating is less than Rogers (hchheda) though Bell speed is better. I am just trying to understand.

The rating is based on user reviews and not just on speed.
For example, Bell offers speeds from 2 mbps all the way up to 25 mbps.

Quote:
I have Telus (in BC - DSL High Speed) and this link is showing only 1.45 Mb/s, Uploading 0.59 Mb/s and ping is 96ms.

You must have a "lite" speed internet.
Are you satisfied with the Internet speed?

Quote:

I am connected by wireless modem on this laptop (if it matters).

That may be an issue, depending on the type of wireless and its speed.
Wireless can introduce latency.

I haven't done full research yet.
Bell Fibe is not available everywhere but if it's available, the speed reviews are good.
I'll check out redflagdeals and see if anyone has discussed Bell Fibe there.
It'll certainly save me quite a bit on my bill (esp. if I sign a contract).

Thanks Pratick.

I have High Speed (not lite but Telus also have enhanced high speed since last 2-3 years). I am ok with the speed (sometimes it is slow) but I just do basic surfing not much downloads. I don't have any issue in playing basic games online or watching you tube video (even no issue in playing you tube video on Wii). I think Telus claim 5Mb/s speed for high speed connection.

I guess my wireless connection is an issue as it disconnect many times in a day for few seconds/minutes.

bell has dual pricing... one rate for 12 months and higher after. Rates are similar to Rogers.
Our only different option will be a third provider.
I have checked Bell which has variable performance, hidden charges etc.
And after reading reports about phone service of Comwave, I do not want to change from Rogers eventhough I feel it is costly ( same as bell).
If someone has third provider experience, let me know.

How about phone service... which VOIP is better. Is it cheaper than 38 for Rogers + 10 % bundle discount. ( 34-35)
Tecksavvy is getting good internet review.... says $ 40 for 200 GB

I am with TekSavvy and I am signed up for 5mbps speed with 200G cap for 29.99.

I regularly get over 10 mbps after I switched from dryloop DSL.
