I just switched over to 25/10 DSL with TS (coming from the grandfathered Bell Ultra 7Mbit connection). The first tech from Bell came and checked my demarc point and said I was good for 25/10 service (I could even see on his meter that it passed a couple of the ADSL+ tests). The TS tech came, and after much frustration with my internal wiring, said I was good however my modem is not connecting (I should see two green solid lights but they're dead). I'm getting a 192 IP address, and I've entered my pppoe credentials in the Connection Hub. He said a ticket was opened with Bell for them to come out again because I'm 'plugged into the wrong port'. does that make sense? what could possibly be wrong with my line? Thanks!

With DHCP in what I assume is a router in that thing, you're
going to get a 192 address, whether the WAN side is working
or not. So while it proves the LAN side Ethernet cable is OK,
it says nothing about stuff on the WAN side.
As for the Bell/Teksavvy/trouble_ticket thing, welcome
to "arms length tech support". Bell does stupid things,
just to see the Teksavvy customers dance. Like sending
two work orders to the tech, telling him to unplug and
plug back in, a connection. When the two work orders
could have instead, just canceled one another. Perhaps
you got caught in that scenario ("I'm unplugging you now - Bye").
It took me a few days to get service back. I used
Freenet during the outage.
This is Bell's motto:
"We will find a way, to make you pay..."
