I have a Shaw Cable High Speed Internet at home.
It has following features.
# Up to 5 Mbps download speed
# Up to 512 Kbps upload speed
# 60 GB/month data transfer
# 10 Personal email accounts
# 7 No Cost Extras
# Up to two IP addresses**
# 24/7/365 technical assistance
I tested the speed with my D-Link WUA-1340 Wireless G USB 2.0 Adapter.
Download Speed 4.7Mbps,
Upload Speed 449kbps,
Ping 92ms.
Sounds OK with Shaw's commitment.
The test tools is provided by Shaw Cable.
To have a more fair speed test results, I tried the third party online tool.
Speedtest.net has a lot of testing servers all around the world.
I tested 8 locations results shown as below.
