Long story short, with Velcom adsl 6mbps plan, I was getting around 300KB/s download on fastpath (10ms to 1st hop) and 400KB/s with interleave (hellish pings, 40-50ms 1st hop), was paying 35$ tax included for 300G. Switch to TSI cable, 300G, 25$/month (Qc), getting > 5mbps (>600KB/s) and upload I think is a bit more than 120KB/s, which is about twice as fast as I was getting.
Pings seem quite good;

So two questions:
1) My ip is a bit weird, starting with 192.0 is this a cable thing?
2) Any tweaks/config I should be using for cable? MTU, etc.? I've not really received any connection information/email from TSI and after around 10 minutes on hold for tech support (cable issues in Ottawa might have something to do with 'long' queue), I tried DHCP on my router and lo and behold it worked, no username or password... 1st time using cable :)
Oh IP phone seems to be working very well too! Very easy setup...
So far so good TSI! :)
