Re: PowerBoost Not 'Turning Off'

I experience max torrent d/l speeds of 1.2 - 2.2 Mbps.
It cycles up to 2.2 every ~5 minutes for a duration of ~45 seconds. Let's hope this continues.

I believe kamikaZi answered that they didn't do anything - it just happened.

I don't know if it's possible to hack in any way to keep the boost going for longer or unlimited periods of time.

I am stilling getting pretty good speeds over here, jumping from 1.2MB/S - 2.5MB/s on torrents. Also there is no way in hell that the monthly cap is even enforced. Any news on this? All I will say is that I have been way over every month for a year now.

It depends on where you are. In my old apartment they used to strictly enforce them. I always used to carefully monitor my usage ever since Xtreme-I was introduced. This one month I was warned for going 490 MB over the 100 GB cap. In my new house I've never even received an automated e-mail, and I'm pretty positive I've pulled ~200 GB for consecutive months.

And you feel the need to publicize this... why?

Seriously - there are noted issues with Shaw's caps and I'd rather not publicize them lest someone decide to do something about fixing the "problem". Sit back, keep my mouth shut and enjoy - that's my motto!
