Bell has introduced a new and innovative suite of always-on Internet solutions. Built on Bell’s reliable all fibre, end-to-end network, these solutions are designed to keep customers connected when Internet service is disrupted or the power goes out. It’s another way Bell is putting customers first – delivering greater peace of mind and reliable connectivity so Canadians can keep working, streaming and staying connected when the unexpected happens.
Bell’s always-on Internet solutions include two features designed to help protect against service interruptions and power outages:
Wireless Internet Backup is a feature that helps keep Wi-Fi connectivity running during a home Internet disruption by shifting Internet traffic to Bell’s award-winning wireless network – with no additional fees or equipment required1. Exclusive to Bell customers with both Internet and mobility services1, Wireless Internet Backup uses a compatible Bell mobility device as a hotspot to keep your modem connected, so Wi-Fi devices stay online. The feature is available now to all new Pure Fibre Internet and current Giga Hub 2.0 customers who have Mobility from Bell on one bill across Ontario and Quebec, with expanded modem compatibility coming soon.
Unlike cable networks which require power to operate, Bell’s Pure Fibre remains connected during local power failures – however, your modem doesn’t. Power Backup complements Bell’s end-to-end all fibre network by keeping the modem powered, so all connected devices stay online during local power failures.
To support this, Bell now offers two uninterruptible power supply (UPS) options, maintaining connectivity for up to nine hours. Customers with compatible external power supplies can also continue to work, stream or surf when the power is out. Power Backup is available across Ontario, Québec, Manitoba and Atlantic Canada.
When eligible customers combine Wireless Internet Backup with Power Backup, Bell’s always-on Internet solutions work together to help protect against both power failures and network connection issues – delivering a more reliable, connected experience.
“Bell is raising the bar on reliability in an always-on world. Canadians rely on their Internet every day, and they need to know their connection will work when the unexpected happens. With Bell’s always-on Internet solutions, we’ve got you covered – delivering built-in backup that helps customers stay online without missing a beat. It’s reliable connectivity Canadians can count on – because at Bell, we know that connection is everything,” said, Blaik Kirby, Group President, Consumer and Small Business, Bell.
Bell is Canada’s largest communications company, leading the way in advanced fibre and wireless networks, enterprise services and digital media.
