Anyone in Mississauga have this happen to them?

[savbers]

Hey guys just wondering if WIND has capped the speed at 1.3mbps in Mississauga because every speed test I run comes in under 1.3 or it hits 1.3 and sticks there.

Anyone else got this problem too?
(using Galaxy S Vibrant a 7.2mbps phone)

Nope, I get more than 2mbps on a consistent basis. And even manage 4-5 mbps during off-peak hours.

where do you live?

I live at eglinton and creditview and travel around Mississauga often. To Cawthra Park, Mississauga valley, Credit Valley, Square One... etc. Only place I don't visit often is north Mississauga (Anywhere north of Brittania road).

I think one should expect such speeds if near such a popular place where everyone would be hopping on the data. :P

hahahha i guess, seriously the area its getting pack here and going to get more apartments going soon too, sigh...

ya so i guess above 1.0 is already a good speed in mississauga, and depends how many ppl are using the networks in that specific area

i was in markham area near highway 7 and markham road the other day, i get like 5.0 to 6.0 of speed (if i remembered correctly), but that place is pretty empty hahahaha

My observations are primarily in east mississauga, however I also get great speeds when I'm near hurontario and britannia. The area around erin mills pkwy and hwy 403 is generally good too.

In fact, I'd say square one is the only place in mississauga I've found speeds to drop. Most other places have been good, if not great.

Are you sure you weren't drunk at the time. I've never seen near those speeds in Scarborough

Even if I were drunk, how would that affect the speedtest results? LOL

I've been doing a lot of these tests around the GTA over the past few weeks, and am generally impressed with the download data speeds I've been getting. I'll try and present the data in a meaningful manner in a new thread to hopefully provide a better picture.

It was just a joke. Lol. I usually get just under 2 mb/s to just under 3mb/s. I'm also getting a lot of issues with videos buffering.

I was at Dundas and 403 recently. Did not get above 1.3mbps.

Was on 403 at Erin Mills pkwy didn't get above 1.3mbps.

What phone do you have?
