Re: [BC] Trying to get faster speed

"granted most people can achieve the max speeds without any problem"

I wouldn't grant that without some specific source. I know very few people who are getting anywhere near maximum speeds on Telus ADSL. At home in Richmond I get a max of 2 Mbps. At work in central Vancouver I get a max of 3.8 Mbps. What percentage of people really get 6 Mbps or higher? Most customers may not even know if they are getting full speed.

by max speeds I'm sure he means 80-90% of rated speed..
2.4-2.7 on 3.0
4.8-5.4 on 6.0

What is the base speed of the connection you use at work? If it's been there for a while it's probably on a 4.0 plan.

many customers get better than this... BUT these speeds would still be acceptable.
Your quoting 2 connections (1 at work and 1 at home) is not really showing anything either.

Very few people get 6.0 or higher.... BECAUSE they're not on 6.0 or higher plans... 100% of people who are on the turbo plan get higher than 6.0, they'll all be between 10-15.0

I may work for, but do not necessarily represent the views and beliefs of TELUS Communications.
