There's a big long thread about this on dslreports:

Basically nobody knows why it's slow for only Teksavvy customers-- Teksavvy did some upgrades about a month and a half ago that was supposed to fix the issue and it apparently did fix it for everyone in western Canada except for folks in Calgary (and seemingly Lloydminster as well)
I've been patiently waiting for a fix, since they are so much cheaper than the equivalent service through Shaw or Telus, but I'm not sure how much longer I can wait.
And to answer your question, you should be receiving the same bandwidth that you would be getting with the equivalent service through Shaw. I pay for 25Mbps and get close to 30 in the day-- it drops to 6 or 7 at best in the evenings from about 5-11:30pm.
