I was reading a post on sensorymetrics regarding the quality of internet connections in Gatineau (Hull), QC, which is just across the Ottawa river from us. The article linked a site that provides an internet connection speed test, so I ran it.

As I expected, our Roger’s residential connection is pretty robust!

    Wow, that’s fast! I’m moving across the river for Rogers!

    I wonder if it’s the same for all content. I’ve heard that certain content types are slowed down. I wonder how you could test for that?

    Don’t know Jobe. I’ve heard of the traffic shaping, but I’ve never noticed any massive slow-downs when using Bittorrent. I don’t use any other P2P protocols, so can’t comment on them.

  3. THANK YOU for managing to use English. Most sites were complete gibberish…
