I just got Shaw Xtreme-i today and it is godly. The lowest download rate that I have had was 200k/s, the highest being 500k/s.

it is still slower than what I pull down down with my terayon modem. i wonder if it in those markets due to throttling because of congested nodes...

Yeah I would push 600k/s with the old Terayon modem when I had shaw, not hacked either. I've had a record 900k/s with DCCNET.

Cyrus, a REALLY good place to test is the symantec download site, http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/download/pages/US-N95.html during offpeak times. Seriously.
