    I have telus highspeed at 25mbs. I saw has Shaw exo at 250mbs. I was thinking of getting it because its ten times faster.

    Questions are:

    1) Will I notice a differance while gaming
    2) Will I notice a differance downloading from sites(dont sites have a limit?)
    3) What can I use the extra Speed for? ideas?


    Thank You for your time :)

    1) depends, if the isp server is closer or better connections giving less ping/latency
    2) probably faster for most stuff(p2p/ftp/http) except site with limits
    3) download MOAR stuff?

    250mbs is rare in NA. Asian all got cheap 1000mbps for some reason...
