My internet speed plan is with Shaw and is 150Mbps (it was the fastest for my area, but I think they have 300Mbps now). A speed test tells me I actually get around 175Mbps, though (22 MB/s) and 16Mps for uploading.

It is odd that download speeds react oppositely for me. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I don't know what else is different.
I wonder if our speeds are limited by being on an island (despite the fact we live in the provincial capital, Victoria) or maybe Telus just sucks. Their customer support certainly does.

How much do you pay for that plan with Shaw?

Sorry, for some reason I didn't notice your reply! I pay $94.92 after taxes per month. It's a two-year term "valueplan" contract so kind of like a cell phone. If I cancel early I have to buy out the contract, etc.

Also, I just got an email today saying that they've doubled my speed from 150 to 300 for free. No strings attached. No free trials that will expire, same price. Just free. Must be putting some new infrastructure in the area and speeds aren't as much of a problem? I don't know. I'm happy, though!
