   Nop. If your provide says ADSL-1, then they give you the ADSL-1   
   "standard" speed. Don't expect this to be raised because 7mbps is about   
   the real limit for ADSL-1 (the specs say 8mbps down, 1mbps up, but I   
   think too few people are close enough to get 8mbps).   
      
   Check what type of ADSL your modem is allowed to negotiate. Bell   
   supports ADSL-1 , ADSL-2 and VDSL2+.   
      
   For VDSL2+ services, Bell requires you use their modem.   
      
   For services up to 16mbps and 1mbps up, you can use your own modem (and   
   it needs ADSL2+ compatibility for anything above 7mbps).   
      
   For the 25mbps and the 15mbps with 10mbps upload, you must be on a VDSL2   
   + profile and that requires the Cellpipe 7130 (I think Bell has a second   
   model for certain areas).   
      
   Currently, there is no way to legitimatly buy such a model on the market   
   in Canada.
