MTS' seem good from where I am. Advertise 10 mps download and 2 mps upload. Speedtest.net has me at 9.8 and 1.8

The big Telco's lie? Stop the presses!!!
Come on, we know they've been misrepresenting their products for years.

Colour me shocked!
Telus has had this disclaimer since as far back as I can remember:
$1:
Speed and signal strength may vary with your configuration, Internet traffic, server, environmental conditions, applicable network management or other factors.

Mine is within range for the high speed connection I have with Telus. There are 2 levels beyond that for faster but I'm satisfied with what I have (suits my needs) without paying more than I am now.
I just did a speed test to verify.
1.5 to 6 mps download - Mine is 5.37 Up to 1 mps upload - Mine is .87

I recently had an issue with mine, the package I had was for 30 up and 10 down. Now I was getting around 26-27 up but 3 for down, and after weeks of pestering they sent a tech out. He checked the house and all the poles down the street and found the entire area I was in was being throttled from Toronto. Now they have rectified the problem and I get my 26-27 up and 8-8.5 down.
