Okay, WTF! Right now I must be "In The Zone", I'm downloading at Well over 1.5MB/sec and uploading at over 100kb/sec.


Took me just over 4 seconds to snag a 19MB movie.

My friend has telus, I have shaw. We live in the same neighborhood. Consistently, shaw smokes telus in speed.

Reliability of shaw is OKAY, at best. I've had cable for about 9 months now, and have needed to call them twice already.

First time was the day it was installed. The installer didnt reboot the computer to check if it was still working, so as soon as I rebooted, it stopped. I had to wait 5 days for them to fix it.

The second time, same shit, but he helped me over the phone by sending me the upgrade software through email. Otherwise, XP has no problem detecting shaw, and its worked great forever (I was running 98 before).

Telus ADSL vs. Shaw Cable......

Well we have ADSL upstairs and Cable downstairs and they are actually fairly even......maybe its just certain communities?

I live in macewan, my girlfriend lives in edgemont, we both tried a dsl speed test at the same time. I clocked 1240 she clocked 980.
This was at 1130am???? Mind you, I do have a decent connection, I'm close to the co.

Benny, I tried getting Cadvision ADSL a long time ago, and they told me something happened to my line and I am not eligible to get ADSL. was that BS or what? I live in edgemont.

Benny, I would absolutely love to switch to DSL. I had dsl in Lethbridge for 3 years, with no problems.

Only issue now, is that I don't have a land-line. My two housemates and I don't feel the need to pay for a land-line when we use our cells full time anyways... and we were under the impression that you can't get DSL unless you have an active phone line?

DSL without telephone service is in the works
