>>I had the honor tonight to test a new connection in East Canada and I was surprise of its upload speed. In Montreal, I have a cable connection. As it is, cable connections allows a good speed on download but usually modem speed on upload. Here, I just uploaded the same file I usually upload in Montreal at a T1 speed. That is not a commercial line. It's the usual line home users are using here. It's just amazing! For 40.00$ a month, you download at 3.5 mbps and upload at about 1.5. Anyone else found something like that elsewhere?

>>New Brunswick have been known to have an incredible Internet and tele communications setup all over the province. They were ranked on number one spot for a few years for the best tele communications infrastructure. Basically, the fibor is all across the province. Some people already asked me: "Do you know why everywhere you call in a calling center around America, it's usually answered over there?" :)

>>I tested that setup last year but I didn't have my full installation. Now, I have and I am able to compare with the exact same sets of data. Pretty cool infrastructure!

>I don't know if it's UT or my switching from cable to DSL today, but the speed seems incredible today. Only this morning it took me maybe ten or twenty seconds after clicking on "all messages from this one" and it had more than 10-15 messages to download - now it's as second or two.

>To think that I was happy with 56K (with actual speed as in 28K) just couple of years ago...

There is no relation. The UT infrastracture remained as is.
