While I'd heard from Rogers a few months ago that the service operates at 400kbps bi-directionally, I've read somewhere that it will be asymmetrical, with a slower upload time, making it less attractive to run a business such as a Website at home.
Fairview Technology Centre in Oliver are now offering 500kbps CableLAN service.
In theory, the Cable modems can offer much higher bandwidth - up to 36Mbps with new modems. Presumeably the system would jam upstream if too many people were given this kind of access.
