Ah you poor Americans... (Score 1)

With your overpriced and underthroughput "high speed" internet connections. I live in Edmonton,Alberta Canada and the two main providers we have here (Shaw an Telus) both offer high speed internet for $34.95 CDN. On Shaw you can get speeds of upto 800 KB/S (thats kilobytes not kilobits) if your downloading from multiple sources but they actually check and enforce limits. On Telus you get a 1.5 Megabit down 512 kilobit up connection. I'm suppoed to have a limit of 5GB down a month and 1GB up but I have gone over that many times and its never been enforced. Plus I signed up for my DSL when it first game out so I'm on a network with all Cisco gear which has only gone down for a total of manybe 20 minutes that I've noticed over the past 4 years. Now they have switched to D-Link and Linksys stuff. The other great thing is that they told me I have a dynamic IP but it hasn't changed once since I got my service. I still wish it was even faster. I know a guy who worked at telus and simply by removing my bandwidth cap I could be getting 7-8 Megabits per second.
