So I was just reading through this document I saw in another thread (http://www.bce.ca/assets/investors/Q4-2012/2013BCEInvestorConference_FinalConsolidated2.pdf page 35) and saw this:
"Pair bonding to extend IPTV service
coverage in current FTTN areas"
It seems to me that this would mean utilising the 2nd pair that comes to a residence to 'double' the available bandwidth. I guess that's one solution for customers who fall short of bandwidth for Fibe TV.
Thing is, MLPP would be too much for a typical 'user' to configure, what with needing 2 modems & all. So it got me wondering if there is any new hardware that Bell may be looking at using that could use 2 pairs for one connection instead of one. It would be a little unconventional but surely it could work technically, right?
If so, that could get interesting in the future, as long as they don't double the dry-loop fees lol. I guess for anyone already using MLPP this would serve no interest except maybe as a way of removing hardware clutter.
Any thoughts?
