Videotron testing 400% faster internet service Last Updated: Friday,
February 2, 2007 | 4:02 PM ET CBC News

Videotron Ltd. is planning in 2007 to roll out a new high-speed internet
service at least four times faster than current offerings.

The Montreal-based telecommunications provider said on Thursday that it is
testing a service that would let its customers achieve internet speeds as
high as 100 megabits per second (Mbps).

Shaw currently offers home internet users what may be the fastest
high-speed service in the country, with download speeds of up to 25 Mbps,
while Videotron offers speeds of up to 20 Mbps. Other major
telecommunications providers such as Bell, Rogers and Telus offer
high-speed services that top out at around five or six megabits a second.


I have Rogers ... "tops out at around five or six megabits..." 
In my wildest dreams.
