Rogers: 78kb/s down 2kb/s up
Fibe 12 + $10 gb: $1.4mb/s and 100kb/s up

P.S. TorrenFreedom/Cryptocloud are among the slowest vpn service I ever tried, just not worth it.

Many of you have mentioned Techsavvy. For months now they have told me they will have cable in Ottawa. I also asked if they throttled and was told no. Even they are lying as they get their cable from Rogers. If it is throttled from the source, it will be throttled regardless who you are with. They say they have unthrottled DSL service, but they neglect to tell you Bell will crush them in the future with caps.

So even though other providers exist, they still must go through Bell or Rogers. In my opinion, they lie as much as Rogers and Bell, because if you are not in the know, you will get screwed by them as well.

Fact is, we are getting screwed by everyone.

As someone pointed out, I pay for the 1Mb (125KBps)upstream but get a fraction of this.

How they are legally allowed to do this is inexplicable to me.

And I was complaining when my provider deliberately capped the upload speed to half on everything, to, dear I say… 100/2,5 MB CABLE for 41,90€/month, I complained for moths, and then, the very next day when I had received an offer of 100/10 VDSL2 for only 42,90€/month from their competitor, my upload suddenly jumped to 5MB.

So I was happy and did not want to change for the 10MB upload since I would have had to buy a new modem.

I use a private Finnish tracker and I usually download at full speed, upload is also maxed out, the 720p episodes come to me in few minutes.

So you guys use dial-ups, I did too in 1995. ;{

It’s actually more like 8 KB/s when you take overheads into account. What a fuçkíng insult. It is, as you say, virtually dial-up modem speed.

BitTorrent developers need to sort their act out and devise workable methods of defeating this traffic-shaping, and soon, before they one day wake to find they’ve lost all semblance of control by idiotically allowing the ISPs to take it. BitTorrent already runs like a piece of shít on too many ISPs these days because of it, but then most naive people out there tend to believe it’s slow because of lack of seeds and such, oblivious to the fact it’s the providers traffic shaping policies putting the screws down. The list of ISPs already doing it is long, but the BitTorrent devs do nothing…

Upstream is throttled to 80kbps. WTF? That translates to a measly 10KBps upload speed. That is far below the 1Mb (125KBps) I paid for every month. I paid for HSI not dial-up!

Watch out Rogers you gonna lose tons of customers.
