I'm sorry, but what someone refers to 2.0Mbs as "crazy fast" I can't help but scratch my head. My signature shows my last Speedtest while tethered with a BB 9790 to my laptop. It was taken in the Dixie/Cawthra area of Mississauga at about 2:00pm if I remember correctly and is indicative of the sorts of speeds I'm getting these days. I usually hit between 0.8-1.0Mbs for upload but overall WIND's data has really improved in the last year. Incidentally, in phone tests are significantly faster and next time I do one I'll take a screen shot.
Weird how you say it's 2pm but in the speedtest pic it says 1:48pm GMT, which is you know..8am here.
Data speeds seems to be improving in the last two hours, I am consistently getting download speeds above 2Mb/s around Toronto west (Etobicoke). Hope this lasts.

And?
I'm sure with your eagle eyes you'll notice I connected to the Kitchener server when there are at least 4 others that I can think of which are closer to Mississauga, including Toronto, Oakville, Hamilton & St. Catherines. That in itself means nothing, along with the time.
Using testmy.net, which I prefer as it's non-flash and gives conservative results:
This has been about the norm for the last 3 months.
In the AWS/cellular context, TAFL is Industry Canada's list of all base stations in operation, as submitted by the spectrum licensee the month prior. The underlying database is Industry Canada's Assignment and Licensing System (ALS)
A subset of the ALS is published monthly as the Technical and Administrative Frequency Lists (TAFL)
Real-time access to the AWS/cellular data of ALS is provided by Spectrum Direct's (SD) Geographical Area Search
