It is however fine for the server-ish stuff running through it (resumable remote backups is the bulk of the traffic). I still have VT extreme high speed capped at 100GB combined, which I have learned to live with for the great speed and reliability.
I have done this cycle a few times now, fed up with one, go to other... in the end, cable is still the one for me at this time for my 'main' connection. I pay videotron an obscene amount each month right now, but can write some off as a biz expense luckily ;) What happened to "DSL2" @ supposed 50MB/s speeds that rolled out a year or more ago? They were testing in laval last I looked.
