Hi I was wondering if anybody here except us western canadians got the new extreme cable yet. Our new cable speeds are now 8Mbs and by early next year the new new shaw cable extreme will be over 10mbs. I got the new shaw extreme and loving it, I was wondering if you americans got the extreme yet or are we a trial market.

For 2MB, they want $175/month, and they consider themself
2nd world country.
Mahram, how much you have to pay for 8MB?

its pretty exciting, I was wondering now that its getting so high up, how does a t1 line compare now. If like 5 years from now they get cable up to 100mbs, how does t1 line compete against cable, how does dsl compete, they are still stuck at 2.5mbs
Quote from riskarb:
Verizon is soon to be rolling out fiber to the home... up to 30Mbit/sec.I had a 10Mbit cable connection in Chicago thru RCN.
I don't understand speeds but when at home in NY, I have Optimum Online which is considered very fast by many...
I just found out they are trying an even faster speed in beta testing and sent letters to select current customers...here is a copy of it (not mine) so those of you who know about speeds can see as I again, don't understand speeds...all I know is things download fast.

I pay $49.95 per month....I don't know if the higher speeds they are beta testing will be more or not but mine is $49.95 per month
If you want to check your bandwidth, go to:

I get 8 MB/sec through RCN.

Communications 7.1 megabits per second
Storage 866.3 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 1.2 seconds
Subjective rating Awesome
