Good Day.

Yes, it appears that way. Unfortunately, The Toronto Star article you mention is not accessible unless of course you have a subscription to The Toronto Star.

There are a number of changes being introduced and coming to Bell.

Bell announced several new initiatives to reach more customers, enhance resiliency and deliver the easy experience customers want:

  • Introduction of tiered wireless plans with rates differing based on class of service, content, and handset financing, available now across Canada.
  • Launch of Internet services in British Columbia and Alberta in the coming weeks.
  • Introduction of Unbreakable Internet in Spring 2026, a unique product proposition that ensures ultra resilient Internet that keeps working during power outages through a combination of wireless backups enabled by Bell Mobility 5G smartphones and the fibre network's passive optical technology.
  • Planned elimination of the TV set-top box, as Bell delivers a cutting-edge, full-service experience through apps on devices customers already own.
  • Expansion of Bell Streaming bundles in select markets to include Crave with TSN/RDS, alongside existing partnerships with Netflix and Disney+, and by integrating high-value third party services for AI, gaming, and security.

Thank you for your information.

Take care.

Do we know if the Bell Fibe TV (Arris VIP7802) streamer is classified by Bell as a set-top box?

Will these proposed changes affect Bell Satellite at all?

Thank you for your question. There does not appear to be any announcement for Bell Satellite TV service.

This is probably why no work has been done on the VIP7802 recently, such as fixing the time problem in the guide.

I wonder if Bell will now enable 4K in the App and remove some of the simultaneous viewer restriction that currently exist.
