I have been thinking about switching to Ignite services here in NB. I would like to hear from anyone who has already made the move over. I know there are some pluses and minuses; for example, I really hate losing the Call Display on the TV. Has everything worked as it should? Do you think over all it was worth switching for? Your thoughts would be appreciated.

I am in Ontario and switched over 6 day ago. It was been great and the transition was very smooth, everything working as it should.

Webster01, you must use your landline much more than me if Call Display is a factor... I was reluctant to even keep my landline during the switch. My only sore spot (my wife's really... so mine by proxy) is the phone jacks throughout the house are no longer in play... just wireless sets based from the unit plugged into my new Ignite modem.

The phone jacks should work just as before if the installer had connected the modem to the telephone distribution block as it was before.  It's obviously easier simply to plug a cordless base into the modem instead, but if you wanted the jacks to be active, all you needed to do was ask for a proper installation.

It may have been that the modem is now in a different location, instead of at the home demarcation point, however, even in another location there is usually a telephone jack nearby that you can plug the modem into to "backfeed" all the other jacks in the house.

I guess that is where my installer came up a bit short then. It would have been good to know in advance. Without any discussion, he plugged into the local jack and tested... we got wonky results (intermittent ringing across different phones in the house) so he just shrugged and said that everyone gets a cordless set and plugs in locally. I just assumed he was experimenting with something that wasn't expected to work. I guess it is on me now, but you give me hope to get the 'backfeed' working in my home, thanks 57

Pieboy I probably use the landline a lot more than you but then I am old. 🙂 If I told you my cell phone plan is $32.50 for two lines and that that is more than enough for my wife and I you might find that a bit hard to believe...but true. Any way we went ahead and got Ignite service. Generally are happy with it. Like the new features some of which are long overdue. A couple of little issues which have been fixed. Find the Concierge feature is better than regular support avenues but it still is overloaded. Have never gotten directly through but wait time is shorter or if you opt for a phone call they do call you back quite quickly. It does seem that technical issues get handled by second level Tech Support form the get go which may result in faster resolutions. My 2 cents worth after about 10 days. Web

to follow up... I successfully cabled to a telephone jack nearby that I plugged the modem into to "backfeed" all the other jacks in the house.
