Seems that Shaw has sold more of these packages than they can support in the Edmonton area, as speeds have dropped below what the package offered original with only half of the upload channels bound. 15Mb upload is unseen anywhere outside of speedtest.shaw.ca (shaw network), points to congested equipment... time to upgrade Shaw, obviously the digital conversion didn't free up enough bandwidth.

Speeds in image below are from the Unlimited 250 plan, It should show 250/15 yet the numbers are far off, especially poor on the upload.

I agree

They promise such great speeds but they are not consistent at all. They then say "oh we're upgrading xxx date", however it never happens and they just move back the date.

Shaw will take 100% of my monthly payment -so why don't they give me even 50% of the speed I pay for -Lies, excuses, and double talk -if you can't provide the service then quit lying to your customers and advertising speed you can't deliver on _PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG
