My 2 cents - the Xtreme or Ultra or whatever they're selling it as is just a money grab. I seriously doubt that your connection is acting as a bottle neck. Well unless you're below 600 - 700 K/second. For you to get your value out of the Xtreme, Shaw would have to be cacheing everything you're viewing. So your link to shaw is Xtreme - doesn't mean much cause everything beyond that is limited at the other end. Peer to peer or bit torrent..... no one dedicates more than a couple hundred K for upload - and that's for everyone connecting to their system and not just you. I think you're better keeping the couple extra bucks/month in your pocket. Spend it on the DVD so you don't have to download it.
