Our ISPs in Canada only offer a fraction of the speed that is offered in the States. We only get up to like 30mbps, where as in the States I know you're getting 1gbps, and commonly have between 10-50mbps. I personally have 4.5mbps. Canadian ISPs also put download caps on most of them, at least, the faster ones do. Bell and Rogers have caps anywhere from 5GB monthly to 100GB monthly, and charge $5 for an additional 40GB. I use Primus, one of the third-party providers, and it runs through the Bell phone/DSL lines, and because I'm on a third-party they offer unlimited download, but speeds of only 7mbps. I get 4.5 because Bell hasn't touched the phone lines in this neighbourhood in 70 years, and as such their capacity is only 4.5. I know if they replaced them I could get up to 6, but of course Bell isn't going to replace what isn't "broken".
