Post My New ISP
After I moved from the municipality of Delta to the South Surrey/White Rock area
I had to change ISPs. I am now with Shaw one of the two mega huge cable
companies in Canada. I signed up for a bundled package. HDTV, VIOP phone and Extreme
Internet connection.

Here is a speed test to a small American city about 50 miles/80km away.

Wow....my ISP (Shaw) also offers higher speeds than my 15meg package.
They also offer Shaw Nitro for $149.00/month.....yes $149.00 but here's
what it gets you.

I tried all the available speedtest.net servers in NZ. Wellington was by far the fastest
server between Vancouver.
