This is tested at my office here, and I believe it's supposed to be a 10mbit connection. I'm a little disappointed that my DL isn't as high as you Shaw guys, but I see my UL is much, much higher.

NAIT has the ability to shape packets based on numerous factors, which would explain the low download speeds for you.

problem with shaw is that they get on your ass about excessive downloads. Telus, i never hear a peep out of them and i download ~15-20gb/day every day. Try that with shaw and not have them kick you off their service. lol
