CBC Marketplace: Speed Bumps
On Michael Geist's website, he posts an article with a link to a November 2007 episode of CBC's Marketplace in which they supposedly test the download speeds of various ISPs.
The tests aren't really very scientific, since there are way too many variables just in the way they've set up the tests with the end-users, and the fact that each user only ran one test of one very large (700MB) file. However, there are a few accurate comments sprinkled throughout the exposé which warrant attention. I'd also suggest that if you watch the video, you also read the comments included with Michael Geist's article, since there are also some accurate observations.
