Measured speeds are wired-test ranges observed across consumer plans; actual figures depend on plan tier, address, and time of day.

Speed Test Tips

• Test on Ethernet for a true line speed — Wi-Fi, especially over 5 GHz, can vary 10–30% from wired speeds
• Run tests morning and evening — Canadian cable networks often show 10–20% lower speeds at 7–10 PM
• Symmetric fiber (Telus, Bell Fibe) means upload equals download — critical for video calls and cloud backups
• TekSavvy and Distributel resell on the same physical network at lower prices if raw speed isn't your top priority
