Never recieved speeds like that before. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20758239 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 11:48:41 EDT Re: it must be christmas, in july? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20757685 CogitoSum : I hit 1.9 MB/s on a download last night. Move to Calgary. :P

That said, the rarity of hitting those sorts of speeds is usually an issue with the source, rather than one's ISP. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20757685 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 09:50:20 EDT it must be christmas, in july? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20757088 anon : i am doing a download and it is going at 1.2mb/s i acatally getting my full speed. i find it unusual that shaw would allow full speed on the connection they offer. did they finally complete the docsis 1.1 upgrade they were planning a decade ago?

ps i know am being sarcastic its been a while since i felt like i recieved my money's worth. actally shaw's been hurtin lately here in kelowna. maybe they finally ubgraded some of their near obsolete network in this area,]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20757088 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 03:24:08 EDT
