Bell offered that as a trial only it was not available to the public. Ultra is 3500/800 expected real life speeds are 3000/700 and that is exactly what I get. Remember there are other ISPs that offer the exact same service.

But it actually was available to the public as a trail offer, but there is not support for it in fact some residential houses still have the service it's like $80 a month but if they ever cancel it they can never get it again.. so what are the speeds for that.. I am just curious..
