High Speed and Ultra speed enhancements coming in 2004:
How does this affect me?
We will be doubling the download speed of Sympatico High Speed service and improving upload performance by five times. Our customers will enjoy speeds up to 3 Mbps download and up to 800 Kbps upload.
Customers who subscribe to the Sympatico High Speed Ultra service will also enjoy an increase in speed and performance. The download speed will increase from 3 Mbps to up to 4 Mbps, and the upload speed will increase from 320 kbps to 800kbps. That's the best upload performance in this category.
When will these changes occur?
These enhancements will occur during the first few months of 2004. Customers should be enjoying these new speeds by the end of March.
Apparently, you should get this service automatically if you have a SpeedStream modem. If you're on the Nortel setup, then you won't be upgraded later.
With 800 Kbps uploads, it might actually be worth it to get online backup drive space now.
