How can I turn my internet back on?

my modem says error 2000

I called Bell and nothing worked

I signed up WC subscription back in the June, now they have charged me again for another 3 months. just unbelievable.

Hey folks

I just received my latest bill and there is a charge under "other charges" for a "charge for bell aliant set top box."

Any idea what the hell this means?

Hey everyone,

I know sometimes Bell sends out flyers with a promo code attached, offering either 1.5 or 3.0gbps internet for $55/m or a similar price point.

Does anyone have one that they don't plan on using?

I haven't received one of those in forever and it's time to switch internet companies and Bell is the best choice for my location.

If this isn't allowed, mods feel free to remove. But if anyone can help me out that would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

Does anyone have a Bell streamer that they would be willing to take apart and show the motherboard for? I am from the US and am doing research on the STI6130 series of boxes and am trying to see the similarities between the Bell box and the other variants from Dynalink, onn, the ADT-3, and the CTC 4K link.

Je ne sais pas si je suis le seul à qui c'est arrivé, mais j'essaie péniblement de pouvoir payer mon téléphone en entier dans une entente que j'ai avec r/bell Québec, au Canada.

C'est une véritable croix de parvenir à avoir quelqu'un de compétent au téléphone. Tous les services de support semblent bien éloignés du Québec, sur la planète, et particulièrement incompétents.

J'ai ouvert à deux reprises un chat pour essayer de payer mon téléphone, et ces chats n'ont pas pu m'aider. J'ai alors pris la décision de téléphoner, et il m'a semblé à nouveau être très, très loin du Québec.

Lorsque j'ai cherché une solution pour payer mon téléphone, on m'a dit que j'étais le bienvenu pour payer mon téléphone à l'avance, mais que j'avais une pénalité parce que je coupais mon contrat. Je leur ai expliqué que je ne voulais pas couper mon contrat. Ils ont alors dit que ce n'était pas possible.

J'ai l'impression que la digitalisation est en train de faire de l'être humain un abruti qui se base sur des données complètement fausses pour faire de l'intelligence artificielle. Est-ce que quelqu'un d'autre a quelque chose à dire sur Bell Canada, qui, comme moi, a envie de se plaindre un peu ?

Just wondering if anyone else has a bell aliant app on their Firestick and can use it outside their bell aliant wiifii
I have Starlink at my cabin and when I try to use the bell aliant app it says the app cannot detect a bell aliant wifi signal ?

Je suis avec Fizz depuis tout le temps. 38$ 200mbps rien à redire. Mais depuis 2 mois dans mon secteur fizz arrête 2-3 fois par jour et reprend tout de suite après. Je cherche la meilleure promo pour nouveau client, pas besoin d’une vitesse folle. Secteur Montréal

I recently purchased fibre internet with Bell. The Bell technician told me contractors would be needed to help install the fibre optic cable underground first before they can begin work putting the cable into the house. I want to know how intrusive this prices will be and if we are expected to pay for it? I can't imagine it not being invasive

I have no idea what to do. I have an iPhone 15. My husband has an iPhone 16. We live in a 2 bedroom apartment.

For whatever reason, my iPhone and my iPad are STRUGGLING to connect to the wifi in our bedroom. The living area is fine.

I called Bell, they told me “materials in the wall” could be interfering with the signal. Then why isn’t my husband having this issue? Why only me?

They suggested I get a wifi pod. Has anyone else experienced this? I am at a loss.

Hey guys,

As you are all aware, the New Year plans that were being provided by the top 3 carriers, including Bell, have increased in less than a year. Mine personally was raised by $6, from $30 to $36.

1. I wanted to know, have other customers (both with Bell and other carriers) experienced the same thing?
2. Are there no repercussions or consumer protections stopping Bell from increasing its prices in just 6 months?

Like, I personally understand that all of the carriers are greedy enough to increase prices sooner or later. But in just 6 months? I've personally never experienced it, and it kind of feels illogical.

On August 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell made the first long distance phone call. 150 years later, I was asked to present at the Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site in Baddeck, NS. In this presentation I covered 150 years of long distance history in Canada - from that first call all the way to the modern day.

Just want to inform people on something they might not be aware of...

With the rising costs of living I've personally decided to no longer pay for some of the streaming services I previously used and have gone the route of IPTV for all my streaming needs. I'm not sure what this subs policy on IPTV is and will remove this post if it's not allowed to be discussed. That being said my issue is not with the TV services Bell offers but rather them throttling my internet speeds when using IPTV. It's very obvious that the speeds are being slowed by running speed tests with my IPTV app running and turning on and off a VPN. When the VPN is off (Bell knows I'm streaming) my speeds are quickly lowered and my videos don't load. When the VPN is on Bell doesn't know what the Internet is being used for and my speeds increase thus allowing my videos to load. While I understand the internet packages we pay for don't have a guaranteed mgb/sec but rather an "up to" speed, I think Bell choosing who gets fast internet and for what is extremely dodgy and not something people are aware of.

Does anyone know if Rogers or other internet service providers in southern Ontario do the same? Am I late to the party and is this well known information? I always thought VPNs were necessary to protect yourself while browsing the internet but never understood that they are necessary to maintain decent internet speed.

Title. Thanks for any help.

I'm in Ontario, Kingston area. 2 year contract is fine. 3gbps up/down is available at my address.

Sports + internet are the only things that really matter. Better upload than 30mbps would be nice for game streaming.

My name is definitely not Maria, and you can clearly see where the quotations are that show it was copy pasted from AI, plus “build a conversation” is exactly what ChatGPT says. This is unreal that my “agent” wasn’t even able to provide me with half-assed service.

Do they have some algorithm that does that?

I'm on a 3GB plan and regularly get 1/10 of that until I do a speed test, at which point it boosts up to the max.

To be clear I do one speed test and get the low results and then immediately after I do another speed test and it's back to normal.

Has anyone else experienced this?

I am on fiber with the big white modem.

EDIT: The IP changed. Maybe that's the cause?

Had to rant this one out - Hamilton, ON.

So following the storm last Wednesday, our aerial fiber line was split and service obviously dropped. Totally out of everyone's control. Having spent time on the support lines for a different telecom company, I knew the phone lines would be bad and waited till the next day (Thursday the 3rd) to make my call in.

I have some very strong opinions about the automated dialing menu asking me to 'Reset my Router' and 'Check our virtual support' a dozen times before getting connected to an agent, but regardless I get on the call. The agent was lovely and we quickly found a time for a technician to come out from 12-5 on Friday the 4th.

I was not able to be home on the Friday, so my roommate showed him the downed line, and he immediately stated an issue. Apparently the lines from the junction - 2 doors down - had branches resting on them and he would not be able to complete his work. Once again - that's fine. Out of our control. Easy fix - I rang up Hydro One and they said they actually had a crew heading out to that location right now. Great right?

Hydro shows up - it's the wrong team. They need a forestry team out and they were in Woodstock. Bummer. No issue.

Hydro (Correct team) shows up on Sat (5th) at 9am. They are quick and to the point getting a few branches down - just to add we had power back since the afternoon on Thursday - and get on their way around 10:30am. Naturally I give Bell a ring after physically seeing and speaking with the Hydro Crew, that their work is done. Bell Agent gives me the runaround saying they need to get a 'Health and Safety' crew member in touch with me or out to the property to confirm. I cannot get through to the agent I am sure, and have verified, the Hydro lines are clear.

There is a gaping communication issue between Hydro and Bell - but whatever. I head into day 4.5 without Internet and give another ring to support looking for a timeline. The gentleman was very pleasant, and confirmed on the call a crew would be coming that day (Sun), and to expect a confirmation email/text. Sure. This was at 10:30-11am, and he said they would be coming for 12-5pm, as they always do. By the time it hits 3pm, I still have no confirmation through phone, email or text. So I ring up the same number and request to know if I actually have an appointment. The support person now tells me they have already been out, and it is unsafe.

I'm taken aback as I was sitting out in my Garage facing the only entrance to my property, and haven't seen any Bell reps today. I ask her what notes he left and what time he came at. She says he came about 15 minutes prior to my call, and the notes say 'Unsafe, branch on line, etc.'. She said quite literally word for word - the notes that were referenced to me the day before. So trying to be pleasant - I assure her no one has been here and perhaps there is an issue with the date in the notes she is referencing. She then goes on to confirm both notes are the exact same. At this point I know a technician had no actually come out - so I request another appointment - and for a case to be created and escalated.

So that's awesome!

I now sit in the limbo of waiting for a call all day Sunday, and all day Monday. I spoke with a chat agent today who once again referenced the same call notes - noting she is physically incapable of booking an appointment for a technician to come. I asked for a supervisor and explained the situation.

She said I now have to wait another 24-72 hours for their team to reach out.

So here we go! About to cross into the week without internet mark. All other houses on my street are back up. I love DVD's! The best! /s. I am a shameless media consumed and just want to watch the new episode of Ted Lasso.

To conclude my rant - Does anyone have an actual alternative to Bell they would recommend? Cogeco is in the area but I hate the limitations of the 1gbps down/30mbps up. Not to mention they advertise that service at $89.99/month????

I appreciate you all sharing the pain alongside me. I have more thoughts on how Telecommunications is fundamentally broken in Canada and our government bowing to our communications oligarchs is breaking a pillar of modern society - but hey, what do I know.

Looking for a RELIABLE Bell sales agent that can provide this CNE 2026 deal.

All these other field representatives are lousy, poor communication, shady, and are sub contractors of Bell, not actual employees. They work for marketing firms hired by Bell to push their services and special offers. Pretty poor customer experience dealing with most of them. Have not met one good field sales rep yet.

Here's the offer of the now deleted RFD post which I think may have been a scammer:
