I think the speed tested is pretty accurate, but for me, the customer support variable should factor in as well... hopefully you don't need to call, but when you do, I HATE getting the run around!

Was there any comparison done on that show? I can only speak to about my ISP and it's not that great... hit and miss depending on the tech on the call.

Shaw for the moment.

Shaw for customer service, but Telus may have a very slight edge in speed. I am with Shaw, and would never consider going back to Telus because of their crappy customer service. I also have Shaw phone and love it!

If you're looking for just internet, get a package with Shaw. The Xtreme-I is 10mbit, and when bundled with a basic VOIP phone you're looking at about $65/month.

When I used to have telus, I had a supposed 5mbit line. I could only download PER STREAM at 160k/sec, but get multiple streams going and I could get close... Not sure if they changed that now-a-days
