Eventually the speed problems will come back again when new peer 2 peer applications becomes more popular then Bittorrent. It's just like someone is trying to fix their computer before considering buying a new one but in the end, they really do need a new one because their old one is beyond repairable. That being said, eventually, Shaw would be forced to upgrade the network capacity, sooner or later. |
