Re: Permaboost...

Honestly what I want more than anything right now though is a little boost on the upload speed.

Shaw's fastest plan currently sits at 25mbps download, and 1mbps upload.

They seem to think people don't need upload speed, when exactly the opposite is happening: people need more upload speed. It's painful uploading files to my servers, I have to do it overnight since sometimes it can take hours for what really isn't that much data at all. Even for more common activities like uploading videos to YouTube, sending large email attachements... all so SLOW!!!

No kidding. Here, Comcast's Blast! tier at 16/2 is actually 32/3 when boosting. That would help a ton when sending a gig of video to someone. Instead of taking 12 hours at 768, it'd take 4 or less.

On your end, 25/2 would be an improvement.

Good luck.
