Bell Fibe

I wanted to view what all the hype was on Bell's new Fiber Optic network. So I went over to their web site (Bell Fibe) to get all the details. I was quite surprised! Not by the product itself, but on the fact that they proclaim it is the most advanced network in the country, but yet it takes about 1 minute to load a simple web page from their servers.

Clicking on 'Learn More about Bell Fibe Internet Plans' takes about 1 minute and a half. How can a company manage the most advanced network when they can't even manage their web server?

It was around 23:00 so its not like it is in peek hours of Internet traffic?  Also, I visited the page several times in the following days, so this was not a "down time" or anything like that.  It was consistent over several days.

Bell needs to first learn how to manage web servers, then move on from there.
