"Proven the Fastest"?

Remember those Rogers "Proven the Fastest" ads that were popping up everywhere not too long ago? For some strange reason, those ads started disappearing right around the time that Aliant's Fibre-to-the-home rollout got underway. The "Proven the Fastest" promotional site is still online, but the "Atlantic" link now just redirects to a different Rogers site (until very recently it had been showing a "404 Not Found" error instead).

Ever wonder if that timing was just coincidental? We recently had the opportunity to run a few side-by-side speed tests comparing an Aliant Fibre connection & Rogers' Highspeed Extreme service - the winner? According to SpeedTest.net, here's how Rogers and Aliant currently measure up:

ALIANT FIBRE Download: 57.08 Mb/second Upload: 14.34 Mb/second	ROGERS HIGH-SPEED EXTREME Download: 10.01 Mb/second Upload: 0.99 Mb/second
View Results	View Results

If those numbers don't make the difference evident enough, consider that Aliant's download speed is almost 6 times that of Rogers' - and Aliant's upload speed is more than 14 times that of Rogers'. For that matter, Aliant's upload speed is almost 1.5 times greater than Rogers' download speed. So if you're in New Brunswick and you have a "requirement for velocity," it looks like Aliant is currently the best choice.
