Huh...DNS to weather.gc.ca looks OK, but still unable to access via my Fibe connection.

The site is up and works fine if I access via my Rogers mobile connection.

After a while, has fixed the settings on the Fibe Gigahub residential modem's admin page, so that now it's possible to entirely turn off all 3 WiFi bands. This was broken a while ago.

This is important for those who only want the Bell-controlled device to be used as a fiber modem, with no control or insight into the WiFi signals in the home, and no control over firewall and routing.

UI version is showing 7.3.28, firmware 1.19.6.

I was met with disbelief when I said the reason why BELL laid off all those employees was a "revenge move"...
Please reed this article and tell me I was wrong.

⚠️ Bell denied stay in decision allowing smaller companies to sell internet using its fibre network

🚨 "...could be further cost reductions if the company feels it has to stay ahead of regulatory decisions it finds unfavourable."

It’s excruciating listening to on the layoffs today. They’re reprehensible. But JT sounds out of control. Shrill. He’s using schoolyard language. We’re doomed. Liberalism is doomed. Fascism has become more relevant and fashionable to people who’ve never seen how truly ugly people like Poilievre will be once they have power.

Heaven help us.

This is just a really gross ad. The only reason they have the "fastest" anything is because of disgustingly effective regulatory capture and setting up an environment where competition is impossible.

It's like entering a race, breaking all your opponents' legs, and then demanding folks buy you a drink at the bar later to celebrate you coming in first place.

Plus, their "fastest" is embarrassing and embarrassingly expensive, when compared to the rest of the world.

Silver lining to this dark cloud? Majors like pulling out of the local radio market may make the licenses affordable such that locals can get control of their local radio again.
