Shaw has also revised their business plans. They cost a bit more, as they always have, but there are now some plans like the Broadband 50 that are available for business. Previously there was a huge gap between Extreme Business with 1 Mbps upload and a server connect package.
The Business Broadband 50 gives you 50 Mbps down, and 5 up for a $20 bucks more per month than the Business Extreme option. A static IP is also included, which costs $10 extra with Extreme, so it is only going to cost us $10 more per month.
The upload speed is essential for us, particularly when 3 of us (3/4 of the office) were VPN-ing earlier this week and sharing a 1 Mbps upload connection. This couldn't have come at a better time for us, so I'll be picking up the new modem tomorrow.
