I know he lives in the Vancouver area and in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=_EMhR6cUN8Y#t=400 he mentions a fibre box. Just curious, pretty sure it was mentioned before on one of the WAN shows that he got a fibre line just can't remember which episode and what company it was.

 

Thanks everyone!

I don't think he ever told us what company it was from. What is it @LinusTech?

Why can't we get fiber that fast? T.T (damn nsa)

Well, we have Google Fibre and Verizon FiOS, Google Fibre goes up to 1024Mbps down/1024Mbps up and FiOS goes up to 300Mbps down/125Mbps up. If I remember correctly Linus only has like 100down/100up.

Problem is that google fiber is only in select places, and Verizon is capped up the arse :/

I fix computers and computer accessories... sometimes... when I want to...

Why are the ISPs so different around all of Canada

Not sure, probably has to do with regulations...

What I would wonder is why us Canadians get raped up ass with prices, taxes and even shipping + customs and duty fees when ordering from another country...

So many times have I wanted to get something, and then not being able to get it because of rediculus shipping and tax prices.

I understand Taxes on products that are under 100$, but how often do people buy products for over 100$? Not very often ofcoure...

Us Canadians get ass raped when theres anything to do with any sort product

Rant over/

They're actually the largest ISP's in Canada. Though they're mostly in the east, iirc.
