New Study Finds Canada's Broadband Very Competitive

»www.lya.com/en/index.html

"The results of fifty-two million end-user speed tests have shown Canada as a global contender in Broadband Internet performance, ranking often in the top ten of international countries, according to a new report by LEMAY-YATES ASSOCIATES Inc."

Thoughts?

I think is paragraph tells it.

quote:
This study was sponsored by Rogers Communications Inc., a leading Canadian telecommunications carrier. LYA found that not only does Canada rank amongst world’s best in Internet cost and performance, but the average Rogers broadband subscriber:
So a study of Canadian internet compared to the rest of the world sponsored by a Canadian internet provider would naturally show that provider to be better, and that Canadian providers are better in general.

End conclusion - there's no need for any more regulations, let us do UBB or we'll lose our rankings, and we need low caps (Shaw's caps are way more generous than Bell or Rogers - they're still stuck on caps under 100GB which is why they're so quick to remove throttling devices so you can start anteing up $$$ quicker).

I just mentioned this in another post as well, but the Shaw/Telus are much better then Bell/Rogers. They probably pull up the national averages.

I don't think you can get packages like bb50 and bb100 on rogers, and I'm not sure if you can 25mbps speeds on bell?

SCrew BB50/250.

Bell/Rogers' caps are terrible!

Even basic high-speed's 100GB cap on Shaw, something like 30GB on Bell/Rogers.

Nevermind the 250 you get on Extreme, 400GB on BB50, 700+ on BB100 etc.

And the takeaway of that paragraph is also "Rogers is the best provider in Canada".
