Shaw sucks

Very fast one if you are downloading a lot but during rush hours you can expect your speeds drop by 80%.Their high speed Xtreme-I package is 10Mbps down and 1Mbps up.I'm never able to hit 10mbps or even 7mbps and i dont live in highly populated area.My download is 550kb/s and upload 120kb/s but like i said before,during rush hours the download speed drops by 80%.Also their cable TV sucks,no eastern feeds,and only a few HD channels compared to Bell Express VU.

Your not kidding, I'm trying to find a way to get Shaw held responsible for this mess, I get 10Mbps, but at 1am to 12noon, then I get what you said: 80-90% less.
It's been 2 months now and no fix.
I've had 4 service calls and nothing is wrong on my end.
I have a tech to come out tomorrow and he better fix this or I am not paying for it, plain and simple.
:mad:

Here's my speed, it really piss's me off

LOL it always works fine when they are in our houses, few minutes later it's same crap :rotfl:

hmm, they have a 25mb down now... and I always maintain around 9400 down for the 10mb i have from shaw. The bad thing around here is that Shaw is the only isp that has a fast connection, Telus hasn't got the ADSL 2 yet.

I switched from shaw long ago cause they were blocking my downloads from bittorrent clients plus other downloads very slow. Now I have Telus enhanced high speed DSL. They are great, don't block downloads bittorent clients and I would NEVER GO BACK TO SHAW.

Thank you Telus for not being the internet cops that shaw are.

If your in Vancouver or burnaby check for NOVUS. Canadas BEST ISP. Fios connections 5 ping to seattle over shaws 15-20 10mbs up/down instead of shaws 10/1. Epic tech support/internetrouting. Cheaper by about 5$ compared to any plan matching its speeds. You would be truely dumb to not get this IF its available in your area.

They are ONLY in Vancouver, highly populated areas.No intentions moving to lower mainland at all.
