| Its a stupid show, they have more then covered their proverbial rear ends by saying it's "Up to" a specific speed.
So in my case DSL(I'm on cable) is only good for 2.5mb so thats 1/2 way UP to the 5mb advertised.
Marketplace does a great job informing the consumer, but I don't think they are nearly as aggressive or go as far as they could with the shows |

Found this description for the episode as well:
"On CBC News: Marketplace, journalist Erica Johnson investigates just how much speed is provided by high-speed Internet companies. Producers say she discovers that "some companies sell a speed they can't deliver." "
