A faster series of tubes

[c9]

So long, grandfathered DSL from Bell* - with your sweet sweet unlimited downloads** - and hello FTTN Fibe6. Pretty nice throughput in tests, but if I were Bell I would consider giving preferential treatment to these packets just to keep the geeks off my back.





Now to (a) start really testing and pushing to see if it's consistent, and (b) mark my calendar to start watching our usage to avoid overage charges.***

* A day early! I'm sure the utility gods have something nasty planned to balance this out.
** And your high high price!
*** It's like third-world country**** Internet I swear.
**** No not really of course.

Yup, it's a blight on my soul! I bought $5 more of cap (an extra 40GB) since that will cover our usage almost every month just fine. But it's a pain.

We end up with a lower bill than with TekSavvy, but only because we're OK with a 6Mb connection (for now).
