    No slowdowns here.

    things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
    so, he does
    the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
    and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
    the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
    and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
    the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
    -- WW2 for the l33t

    Slowdowns on cable are to be expected it's a shared service if alot in your street are subscribed to it and all do p2p expect it be be slower.

    Nova Scotia Eastlink here and everything is working perfect for me .No sign of any slowdowns.

    Here is a copy of my last speed test.

    2003-12-16 22:36:44 EST: 2250 / 689
    Your download speed : 2250030 bps, or 2250 kbps.
    A 274.6 KB/sec transfer rate.
    Your upload speed : 689417 bps, or 689 kbps.
    Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

    Uncapping your modem is illegal,they monitor everything you do.They know what you are downloading all the time.As soon as they see your speed spike above the norm ,you are nailed.It's a waste of time.
