Re: Does Shaw throttle on-line gaming?

Shaw has only said they control P2P connections because of the high bandwidth usage. Gaming is not a high usage connection I wouldn't worry about it. If you are seeing lag you may have some connection or saturation issues in your neighborhood. If it is affecting you and your gaming call them up.

This guy hit the nail on the head. Most multiplayer games will use about 5KB - 15KB in extreme cases for bandwidth.

Most likely a problem some place in shaws line.
