Well frubsen, you have faster uploads than me..

September 18th, 2002, 04:56 PM

Wow....i thought that was slow

September 24th, 2002, 01:52 PM

Shouldn't this topic be "How slow is your broadband connection" in the case of Rogers and Sympatico users? ehehehe

September 24th, 2002, 03:47 PM

Why? My connection is far from slow as you can see by my speed test above.

Thank C-Com via Hughes!!

Nice stuff man I will be considering satellite when Rogers caps my cable connection.

For some reason, none of the dsl providers seem to service my building, I know Rogers Cable has been harassing our condominium corporation to install new cables through-out the building, but that brings the bills into the millions.

Ugh... According to primus, my rogers download speed is:

Time Elapsed: 20.1408360004 Seconds
Transfered: 3260928 bytes
1264.89 KiloBits / Second

January 26th, 2003, 02:24 PM

shaw speed test was:
Time Elapsed: 21.8503530025 Seconds
Transfered: 3260928 bytes
1165.93 KiloBits / Second

Pretty slow if you ask me. I think i will get sattelite once shaw puts caps on like Telus does.

January 26th, 2003, 02:30 PM

Shaw already has capped it's users (actually, for a long time they have)... But its not enforced.
