At the end of June, we are moving out to an acreage. It is located on Woodland Close, just north of Crowchild and just west of the city, among a million other 2 and 4 acre acreages.

I didnt even think about the lack of Shaw High Speed when we decided to move out of the city. I assumed with housing density as high as it is there, that Shaw would be available. Of course, it is not. I dont know how I am going to go back down in speed from Shaw Extreme ...

Telus' website claims that its High Speed ADSL is available, but not the Turbo High Speed. The High Speed has a download rate of 1.5Mbps to 6.0Mbps.

I have a few questions; Why does that rate vary so much? 6 would be marginally acceptable, but 1.5 doesnt cut it. Is there a way to get a monthly plan that offers more than 60GB per month? Can I expect 6Mbps?

Do I have any other high speed options out there?
