That deal is over. It ended on March 31st, apparently.<br>
<br>
At times, they do have issues with the 10Mbps offering. They have a<br>
simple tool to use to see if your home is within a certain area, but<br>
do not truly know until the order is put through with a contractor<br>
that actually tests and installs the DSLAM. Apparently, I am over 6km<br>
away from the CO where they can offer me 10Mbps, so I am getting<br>
5Mbps.<br>
<br>
I'm still switching, as the connection still has no cap and no throttling.<br>
<br>
We've had the phone since last Thursday and I can't complain... it<br>
sounds like a POTS phone line. No echoing, etc.<br>
<br>
If I remember tomorrow I'll grab some speed tests should the install go ahead.<br>
