"Speed was reliable, as advertised, a few times daily." "Most of time, speed is about 1.0 or 2.0 Mbps, and connection is often lost." "Goodbye, phone & cable. I can find unsecured, local wireless networks which are much faster!"

I signed for high-speed (8.0 Mbps) a few weeks ago with Source Cable, Hamilton, Ontario. I complained about the slow speed and frequent loss of connection. A technician installed a new line from the box to my modem. I'm still having some blackouts, and often speeds of 1 or 2 Mbps. Tonight we connected a laptop directly to the modem, and tested at speedtest.net. The results were all under 1.5, and the lowest was 0.73 Mbps.
HOW can these companies get away with it? They advertised, "8 Mbps down", not "as high as...". I'm thinking of giving it up, and depending on whatever unsecured wireless networks are in my neighbourhood.
