Pooped my pants when I saw this

Our excellent Comcrap service:

The fastest i've ever experienced was about 3MB/s downloading PKR.

Thats not that surprising anymore to be honest guys. Internet speeds are getting faster and faster and are more accessible to the average user.

For example....here in Calgary, Shaw offers a residential internet package that gives you 100 Mbps (yes, one hundred megabits per second)

That's 12.5 Megabytes per second, a full 4 MBps faster then the OP's download and 2MBps faster then j03's test

They only charge $149.99 per month for this service which I think is pretty good and is very likely to come down with in the next few years

That's the rated speed, not what you actually get.



Beat your upload speed!

why would you say that? You don't even know anything about shaw. Right now I have a 25Mbps package and that's exactly what I get from them, infact I often get speeds of 30Mbps. So if I were to get the 100Mbps package I would expect to get those speeds

More like 100 MB/s for the whole block...

People from Georgia Tech known for having the fastest internet speeds haven't had that speed i don't believe

What in gods name are you talking about. I am saying 100 megabits per second not megabytes per second. It's Shaws high end package, please don't say anything when you know nothing on the subject

And could you kind sir, tell me the exact difference?

 

[Lennox]

Btw, 100 megabits = 12.5 megabytes

Lowercase mb = megabits
Uppercase MB = MegaBytes

seriously???? There are 8 megabits for every 1 megabyte. That means 100 megabits is 12.5 megabytes.

Also, MB = megabyte, Mb = megabit (small b)
