thanks..any idea if it'll work with Telus Turbo(15Mbps)? They might be reluctant but my household's had telus for over 10 years so i'll see if i can convince them.

Telus with Optik TV bundle, 4 cable boxes in the house if that matters

you are able to get 25Mbps on just your internet? do you have some kind of buddy at tier2? haha. or are you living in an ETTS building?

it's cool to see other Telus techs on the board. are you guys Telus, or ATI/LTS? :)

I work every second saturday, no sundays though, but that is because they don't want to pay us time and a half. I hear we are going to be hiring in the new year for anyone thats interested.

wat do you mean?

even noizz got ~28mb/s download.


i reran the test and got 18mb/s


seriously.. i think shaw is screwing me over.

MikeyStyle 10-23-2010 03:00 PM

you're paying up to 15 Mbps download and 1 Mbps upload but you're getting more than that for the downloads due to powerbost for small period of time

you're not being screwed over

k2_alpha 10-23-2010 03:43 PM

I find that my speed is different depending on the time of day.

At 7pm- 9pm it is super sloow.
At 1am -6am it is super fast....

its not suppose to be different is it...?
