I've tested on speedtest.net and the one on shaw.ca
I get between 4 and 4.5 upstream on BB100, fwiw

It's pretty interesting too that they advertise BB100 as having 10 megabits upstream now, with no disclaimer about it coming via upgrades (ie. "phase 2"), and yet existing BB100 users haven't been upgraded yet

Any idea when that will be rectified, ShawSean?

edit: the more I think about this, the more it bothers me - BB100 was originally advertised as 5 upstream, with 10 coming in phase 2, so I was paying for what was being advertised. Now its clearly labeled at 10 upstream, but phase 2 upgrades never occurred for me, so I'm now paying the same for less service than advertised.
