There's been a lot of infrastructure upgrades in Vancouver and Calgary, I don't think there is any copper left :( Quote

There's been a lot of infrastructure upgrades in Vancouver and Calgary, I don't think there is any copper left :( Well, right now my parents are on the Cogego high speed internet standard bundle which is up to 16Mb/s and 30G data per month. http://www.cogeco.ca/web/on/en/residential...ard_package.php Once I get a real job I am going to ask them if I can go halfsies on the Ultimate 30 package with 30 Mb/s and 125G data per month. It is only 20ish dollars more, so if I go halfsies it would be saving them money. http://www.cogeco.ca/web/on/en/residential...e30_package.php Its not really the download speed I am too worried about, it is the monthly data. Streaming, uploading videos and that sort of stuff takes a ton of it up. We are currently reaching our limit every month with me only uploading 3-4 videos and not playing much games/streams at all.

My point was more along the lines of them being disingenuous by saying fastest internet in North America. In Canada sure. A ISP covering 600k in the US with 1gbps is a bit substantial though. There are also other regional players with speeds in this range with Comcast and Verizon planning 1gbps roll outs of their own. Edited September 28, 2011 by Emo Nemo Quote
Mr Summers Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Interesting. It's an expensive service for sure and looks like less than 10 customers are on it right now, but once Google starts to roll out 1GBps and it gains more attention, hopefully the prices will drop. Quote

I hope overall both Canada and the US can get more mainstream high speed services at affordable prices because as it stands now we're both getting our asses kicked in this race. Quote
Bcloutier Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 This is on Shaw, on their 50Mbs plan. Not too bad for being behind two routers and a 100' cable. Our computers connected to the first router get just a bit higher. Still works for 4MB/s downloads which I can't complain about. The upload, though, still sucks. I've just gotten used to that. Quote

finisterra Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Currently on my phone: 5,84mbps download, 1,68mbps upload. Lol at upload being better than at home. Quote
Ifno Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 You guys have that nationwide fiber program going though. I don't even know why we need it, or what it's for... :( All I know it's stupid; why do we need 100mbps download? All it means is someone will get to download their movies faster lol. If a privatised company wanted to outlay the capital for infrastructure and support for 100mbps internet, I'd be all for it; but for the government to put money into this "investment" isn't what we should be doing to be honest. Our government's like "GFC? I thought it was KFC???" Quote

Even 4 would be disgraceful :D Quote
