I am living close to #4 and Alderbridge in Richmond and my Shaw Extreme-I is "extremely" slow recently, sometimes down to 1Mbps.

I called Shaw and they said many people moved into my neighbor and they are upgrading something to fix the speed. however, it has been almost a month and nothing has improved.

Then, i am thinking to switch to Telus, but then i heard some good comments about Rogers ADSL....

so...WHICH ONE IS BETTER?!?!?! i want at least 8Mbps of speed!

Telus speed is slower and they blocked every possible useful ports.

call Shaw and tell them you want to switch, maybe they'll give you a discount...

Recently Telus has a promotion of internet for only $19.99
and a bundle where you get a ground line with call display, UNLIMITED long-d calling to china, hk, tw, with adsl for $53.95. The rep said after you enroll, you can call in to customer service & cancel the unlimited long-d and you save $13.

We have Shaw internet right now...& kinda tempted to switch to Telus for that $20 adsl, or that bundle with ground line. but we're not sure if the quality is good or not.

I'm still debating. But my mom told me that the $19.99 for just ADSL promotion ends this coming Sunday. As for the bundle, the rep told us that it's on until May 4th.

telus never charge for over limit.  shaw will first warn, then block your acct for over limit.

I used the Telus ADSL for 5 years, really suck service.
Whenever I called the technical support because of line dropped, It would take me an hour or so to get someone on line, then they would tell you that you can do self-fix online, WTF, why would I call for service if I were connected? During the strike I was without  internet service for few weeks. Finally I get so fed up and called them for cancellation, then they tried to change my mind with a bunch of freebies.
Now I'm using Roger's 3G for $24 per month, and I do not have to deal with modems & Wi-Fi, I can surf the net anytime, anywhere even driving

So far the Roger's is doing fine, faster with fewer line interuption, and the first 2 months 50% off, so
only $12  for  3G wireless. Hey, I do not work for Roger, just a new customer

The Telus wireless gateway has multiple disconnect issues and very little things you can do about it. I would avoid that caz if you by any chance have a bad one, you need to have a long chat with Telus before they will replace it.

I have way too many clients given a run-around with Telus. So many cases where my clients ask me to check the NIC on the computer and they are in fact fine. Also, their eProtect and e-advisor is a load of garbage.

Ever since Shaw has the 50% speed increase and power-boost, my download can go over 1.5Mb/s in any time. Torrents now can get over 600kb/s most of the time. I am more than happy to stay with Shaw. Still, Shaw Secure sucks.

Let's put it this way, unless Telus can move up the turtle speed from 1.5M line to 3M, they will be losing A LOT of business. 1.5M is so far behind the North American standard (based on Speedtest.net). Even an iPhone 3G tethering is faster than Telus ADSL.

I'm living close to your area and I'm very satisfied with SHAW wor
I'm using EXTREME-1 as well. Last week I received Shaw's email saying they finished the hardware upgrade. so I test the download speed, it was 32Mbps in the morning at around 8:00 am.

I tried another test speed in the other day, it's still 24Mbps for downloading wor

yes, shaw has stepped up their speed. i am happy with shaw now.

no complain. glad that i didnt switch.
作者: pkphilip    時間: 2009-3-23 20:43

I was playing around one day by encrypting my downloads (SSL connection), I got over 24Mbps... :-)

From that, we can see that Shaw does throttle traffic.

does that work?
作者: pkphilip    時間: 2009-4-12 00:02

Since Shaw throttle traffic, you can prevent throttling by encrypting the packets. I use usenet a lot, and I subscribe to usenet servers with SSL, when I download large files like Windows 7, I can pull the files at 18Mb/s for about 3-4 min, then constant at 8Mb/s when the modem caps kick in.

I just have standard high-speed, can't justify to get Xtreme-I. If I get higher-speed, I will most likely will be adding another 2TB storage into my 2.5TB system already.

8Mb (megabit) is constant.

Usenet is my favorite because it is not monitored by Shaw at all. I went over 80GB on usenet and the usage wasn't even registered on the usage log.
