Just be very wary that Rogers is throttling bandwidth on encrypted connections (or basically any packet where they can't examine/classify the header). If you do site-to-site encrypted, for example, you may very well end up with 100k of that 10MB connection.

I have Roger Extream here at home (10 meg down - 1 meg up) It look a lot of fighting with Rogers over a two week period to get this speed but it has been working fine for about one year now. As with all cable service it, will fluctuate depending on other local users but in my experience it still works pretty well even in high traffic times. To test the connection I use <http://www.voipreview.org/voipspeedtester.aspx> Most of my clients have DSL, which IMHO always needs checking both at installation and anytime the client has strange and wierd problems. If the equipement is located at the other limits of the exchange (two miles or more) then the connection often has poor bandwidth and low reliability and connectivity. What will pass for acceptable analog phone service on a given line is often a very poor for DSL services. It may require that Bell find another circuit back to the telephone exchange or in cases where there are no line(s) to to begin with, use a "Dry Loop". This is a DSL line with no analog line component. This is a good solution if the cable company don't want to install their cable or want some unbelievable amount to install it. ie. $10,000.
