TekSavvy Cable Internet Speed Test

I just signed up with TekSavvy’s cable internet service. I’ve been waiting 2 years to get back on cable but Roger’s has not allowed 3rd party resellers into my area due to “not having enough bandwidth for the other providers”. The funny thing is, I’m with Acanac and they now resell cable internet but they tell me it’s not available in my area. So I check out TekSavvy and entered my postal code information and they tell me cable internet is avaiable in my area…and I quickly signed up. I signed up for TekSavvy’s Express Cable internet package which is 10Mb speeds with a 300 Gb download cap. Here is a video on the speed test of my new service. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN2uXNx9DFs
