Desjardy posted:Just went through this thread and can only really say wow... I'm in BC and subscribe with Shaw and have never had issues. I pay ~$100 a month for 50Mbps and (I think) 250GBs a month. I can honestly say that while I was on lower tier packages where I have gone over the allotted bandwidth they have never charged me, or even bothered to contact me for that matter. Sounds like you east coasters got the shaft. I was surprised too. I've only been in Canada (BC) since August. I dropped the existing 15Mbps Shaw (if it had a limit, I didn't know about it) for unlimited 25/2mbps on Telus for 50 bucks. I knew different provinces were the domain of Bell and Rogers but I had no idea that parts (most?) of the country are arguably worse than Australia -- $69.99 for 25/1mbps and 175GB on Rogers seems insane when you can get 200GB from Telstra at least, or 400GB or more from other ISPS back in Australia for about the same price nowadays. frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Nov 2, 2010 |

Sprawl posted:Here in BC telus offers their Optik which is either 19/1 or 25/3 it isn't capped and doesn't have and bandwidth limits. Yeah, and it's about the same price as Shaw's lovely 15/1 (125GB) plan that never gave me speeds over 7Mbps.

Obviously Shaw is better in your area. Cable is always going to be variable and depend on your area, but Telus Optik is always 100% for me. less than three posted:Optik™ High Speed But from what I can see, it's $47 for 15Mbps/125GB on Shaw, or $50 for 25Mbps/250GB on Telus. edit: vvvvvvv I just moved here from Australia, let me have my moment before they actually start counting data and I end up in a worse situation than Australia (where my limit is now apparently 1TB ) frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Nov 10, 2010 |

I got sick of getting shafted by Telus (Dropping from 9 to 4 theme packs would save a whole $8) and switched back to Shaw today. It seems ridiculous I now have 50mbps internet, HD, 4 theme packs and PVR rental for $75/month for the next 6 months, and something like 7 months before they start caring about how much I download. Unfortunately the tech didn't know how to provision the new Cisco wireless gateways into bridge mode. I'm not looking forward to calling tech support.

Italy's Chicken posted:The Call Centre reps don't know what you're talking about. I got an awful SMC wireless gateway. Ended up putting my existing router into it's DMZ. Well apparently they've been mistakenly sending DPC3825's preconfigured for bridge mode (intended for businesses) to consumers and vice versa, so I presume its becoming more of a common request. Will DMZ it in the meantime. I figured I could wait until Monday, but I've since discovered that the DPC3825 mysteriously doesn't work with DLNA media sharers. And enabling UPnP requires you to change your password at the same time. gently caress ISP locked down routers. frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Aug 28, 2011 |

*Finally* found someone at Shaw who could provision my Cisco as just a modem. Tech support couldn't do it but some random Shaw employee on digitalhome.ca can.Sprawl posted:yea the only reason not to go shaw is if you want unlimited downloads and dont want to pay that $120 for the unlimited 100 plan. Because those plans "upgrade" as you go over the download cap tiers. I doubt I'd ever hit the 1TB cap on the $99 plan anyway, but you CAN get unlimited for $59 if you're happy to settle for 7.5Mbps frumpsnake fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Aug 29, 2011 |
