Shaw Vs Telus Vs Rogers

ravemother

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!

I use extreme-i and saw digital phone and there is no problem so far.

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.

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 heard from my friend's friend experience of using Shaw digital phone, echo and a kind of time delay. Is it this case?
