Amidy, are you on cable or DSL? What kind of modem do you have there?

I'm thinking of upgrading to TekSavvy's DSL 15/10, but apparently Bell has shit infrastructure that only supports one shitty model of modem.

"Down Under" on ADSL2?

$80/ mth, free national calls telephoen (mobiles are extra)
10Gb/ then shaped



Here's an old one on cable, yes a different ISP & technology, a couple of years ago but doubled d/l speed


Dates top right hand side.
You can see below sometimes it was near worthless but fortunately I changed address (and ISP)

Ultrafast internet speeds that most Canadian city dwellers can only dream of will soon be available to all 8,500 residents in a rural Alberta community for as little as $57 a month, thanks to a project by the town's non-profit economic development foundation...

"Because we're a community-owned project we get to balance out profitability versus what's best for the community."...

All told, the project will probably have cost $13 million to $14 million when it's complete, Gustafson said.

They also said you can make it better by using your connection as much as possible; what's that about?

Also getting that Q3W at 56k speed effect that people were mentioning in another thread (in GD). Some pepole were getting it, some not, I wasn't on my old ISP but am on this new one. Anyway that ping is lower, that's good, right?
