Shaw says it should be "up to 10mb" , and this test was done while utorrent was running, not sure if that makes a difference.

A day before I ran the test with Telus 'Hi Speed' DSL

I got only

1420 Download
240 Upload

So I have to give Shaw credit they definatly are a lot faster here.

Non-Cached browser, Norton off, perfect weather. Price: Toooooo Much!! $800.00 in equipment - $140.00 per month (Best Speed Package). Barrettxplore (was Anikast). No cable or high-speed available on my street/area.

Pretty Crappy Huh?

My recent switch to Rogers Express:
- 7092 kb/s down
- 506 kb/s up

Un-bundled, un-discounted cost: $44.95/mo + $3.00/mo modem rental. Naturally I've bundled, and also have a promo price.

Those speeds are right in line with what they say for Rogers Express.

I see they now have Rogers Extreme Plus: 18 Mbps down and 1 Mbps up @ $99.95/month. WOW! That's fast AND expensive. Anyone have it yet?

Cheers.

Aliant High Speed Ultra... Very good!

With Aliant they charge $25/month but we bundled (phone,cell,ISP,andTV) to get a better deal. Never any problems!

Hey all,

Just moved from the country (dialup) to town (Sympatico dsl)

Obviously, quite the difference.

OK

Midrange package

$50 (but we get the $5 bundle discount PLUS there was a serious screw-up by Bell when we moved into town so they knocked $10/month off the price "for 99 years" according the phone rep. Sounds good to me. We'll be watching our bill, though. "Trust but verify" like Reagan said...I think it was Reagan.

Anyway, my latest result at 0120 hours this morning.

Holy Crap Boss! Are you on Nitro???

Unlimited and only $30 per month plus GST. This is a third less expensive than my old Sympatico account ($45 per month, canceled just before they imposed bandwidth caps).

Singapore has just introduced a 100 mbps cable based service, you need a special cable modem from motorola...http://www.speedtest.net/result/194822439.png

I'm on Bell Sympatico High Speed Edition - Don't know what it maps to with all the new naming conventions (Intenet Max, Essentials, Essentials plus or Total Internet Performance). I believe it should be 5 Mbps. I also believe because I have a grandfather account, there are no bandwidth limits.

http://www.speedtest.net/result/194836384.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

was paying $37.21 / month including modem rental and tax locked into 1 year. price just went up to $50.99 - not locked in. Time to renegotiate or jump ship.
