bouche Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 We have this package with Videotron that has been approx 10 mbit/sec consistently for the last 4 years. Videotron just let us know that our neighbourhood was upgraded so they sent over a tech to install a new modem and our download speed jumped to 30 mbit/sec. FACK!What do you guys have for speeds with Rogers, Cogeco, etc?btw As I typed this, I downloaded an entire DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianphan Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) I'm with Acanac in Toronto (piggy backing on Bell's network). I'm getting 3.5 - 5 mb/s DL speed. The upside is that its unlimited and I paid about $220 for the year.At work (YorkU) we get speeds of 60 mb/s to the www and up to 300 mb/s to other institutions on the fiber network.

I remember the first time I experienced a T1 line back when 56K was the standard. That was the most amazing lightspeed jump since the millennium falcon. I suppose going to 300 mbps would appear to have the same affect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianphan Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 no, it's 230 mb/s or 2.3Mb/s (my memory vs the screen cap we're out of sync) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 no, it's 230 mb/s or 2.3Mb/s (my memory vs the screen cap we're out of sync)I'm still confused. 2.3 MB/sec is about 20 mbps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
