Shaw can not and will not do anything for this aside from make sure their service is running properly (your signal is good, modem working correctly, speeds are within limits) All other trouble shooting must be done by your VoIP provider.

If you exceed limits: You will first get a warning on your bill. If you go over your bandwidth limit the next month Shaw is going to charge you anywhere from $1 to $5 per Gig-a-byte. For further details on overage charges please check out »Shaw.ca and select your region. You will also have the ability to buy extra bandwidth in bulk.. Details to come. *note all bandwidth limits are combined download and upload traffic
by emmpeethree "You must comply with the current bandwidth, data storage and other limitations on the Services. You must ensure that your activity while using the Services does not improperly restrict, inhibit or degrade any other customer’s use of the Services, nor represent (in the sole judgment of Shaw) an unusually large burden on the network itself, such as, but not limited to, peer to peer file sharing programs, serving streaming video or audio, mail, http, ftp, irc, dhcp servers, and multi-user interactive forums." "Shaw reserves the right to set specific limits for Bandwidth Usage and charge for excessive Bandwidth Usage for residential Services at any time. In addition, you must ensure that your activities do not improperly restrict, disrupt, inhibit, degrade or impede Shaw’s ability to deliver the Services and monitor the Services, backbone, network nodes, and/or other network services." Simply put, Shaw can take action to limit bandwidth use, and can impose excess bandwidth fees or other restrictions such as throttling.

by pkphilip Yes, »www.shaw.ca/en-ca/CustomerCare/I···Support/ by emmpeethree With Motorola, the "Power, Receive, Send, Online" are at a solid green state. With Motorola DOCSIS modems (SB5100, SB5101, SB5102 and SB5120) the Power, Receive, Send and Online lights are at a solid green state, and the PC/Activity light will flash rapidly when hooked up to a PC/Router (whether the PC or router is doing anything or not). This is normal behaviour for the modem and you shouldn't be concerned.

by Liontaur Shaw no longer rate shapes data using ellacoya as of about 2010 2012-08-11 00:52:24 (back)This is usually booked as a "NO CABLE" call and is usually supposed to be completed within 24 hours of the booking of the service call, but if not fixed by 9pm the next day calling Shaw again is recommended. by joshb You can also find a list of all the Shaw email servers here If your looking for traditional POP3 servers here they are: POP: pop.shaw.ca SMTP: smtp.shaw.ca Please note Shaw only offers IMAP to business customers at this time.

A: Shaw Speeds are always changing. To view Shaw's current internet bundles and speeds goto this website. »»www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/Internet/ Q: The speed is capped at 10 megabit per second, why can't I reach the cap? A: There can be many reasons why you are not hitting your cap speed. If your speeds are just below the cap that is normal, you will never hit the cap right on. Even on some 3ed party speed test you may go over the cap. Q: What does shaw consider to be fast and reasonable during peak-hours? A: Despite common misconceptions peak times should not affect you as a customer, this is even more true now with the new DOCSIS modems Shaw offers. Shaw takes speed very seriously and you should always be getting close to your advertised speeds. If you think you are having speed issues at any time run Shaw's Speed test at »»www.speedtest.shaw.ca There are also other reasons you may be having speed issues such as: - a slow computer - bad network card - your router/hub/switch - virus on your computer If you do continue to have speed issues it is recommended that you book a service call from Shaw. Q: I am not getting great speeds, what can I do? A: First thing to do is run the Shaw speed test at »»www.speedtest.shaw.ca if your speeds are not around the recommended speeds, things you can try include: - bypassing any router/hub/switch you may be using - try the speed test again in Safe Mode-with networking as this will rule out virus's or other software on your computer causing the problem. - if you have an older Shaw modem (cybersurf, terayon) consider swapping it for a DOCSIS - Call Shaw tech support for more assistance, and if needed book a service call. -If a customer has Broadband 100 or higher package, they must be using a Cisco modem provided by Shaw in order to reach advertised speeds due to a lack of bonding channels on SMC modems, they have issues reaching those higher speeds even though they are DOCSIS 3.0. Q: Is my speed good? A: If your speed is meeting the advertised speeds (check here »»www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/Internet/) then your speed is good, but it may not be good for you, if you find your internet slow you may want to consider upgrading to a faster package. Q: Does Shaw have a speed test? A: Yes -> Shaw speedtest You can also try BBR speedtest , speakeasy or speedtest.net
by emmpeethree - Viruses - spy-ware - the speed of your computer - the quality of signal your modem recieves - the speed of your hub/router - your OS - your RWIN and tweak settings www.dslreports.com/tweaks - the connection of the address you are accessing - the location of the address you are accessing - the quality of the backbones between you and the address you are accessing - the peering arrangements between you and the site you are accessing - the type and size of file you are using to base your tests - the time of day - the number of users on your node actively using the internet - the number of users on Shaw's entire network - network congestion in general - packet loss . When in doubt best to give Shaw technical support a call there open 24/7
by emmpeethree This product currently is free for Extreme I subscribers It costs $2.95 a month extra for regular high speed For Nitro and lite internet subscribers please check the link above by joshb Shaw's Digital Phone is more reliable then 3ed party VoIP services as it does not run on the internet like those 3rd parties. Other then running through the same cable as your TV and Internet it is completely separate from both. To see if your eligible for digital phone »www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServic···alPhone/
by joshb News GroupsCalgary - shawnews.cg.shawcable.net Edmonton - shawnews.ed.shawcable.net Victoria - shawnews.gv.shawcable.net Interior BC - shawnews.ok.shawcable.net Winnipeg - shawnews.wp.shawcable.net All news servers use Port 119 At least some - if not all - of the listed servers do not work anymore.
The Shaw website gives no results when searching for "usenet", "news groups", "newsgroups", "news server" etc.
A phonecall to Shaw pointed me to "news.shawcable.net" and that works for me.
On a side note, the Shaw support person was not at all familiar with newsgroups and told me, I was the first person ever to call about this. 2012-07-22 10:52:42 by joshb I think that newsgroup downloads / access do now count towards the overall bandwidth cap... This may require some investigation / testing. 2011-12-04 03:47:11 | ||||||||||||||||||
