Re: Throttling will continue with Rogers' new usage plans I KNOW this to be the case - just study the specs of how cable works. The upstream path is like gold and platinum ... it's a very limited resource. Also, if you follow the complaints in this forum, prior to throttling, complaints of performance sagging off in the evenings have definitely declined. Also, the neighbourhoods that have been rebuilt like a lot of Richmond Hill have improved because they've reduced the numbers of subscribers on a cable segment (the original cable operators in RH, Markham, Scarborough, designed their networks in a manner that was great for cable distribution, but poor for 2 way, because of too many subs on the segments and difficulty doing "node splits". |

| Actually a lot of the problems predate Shaw ... Shaw bought up a number of local cable operators who laid out the original cable networks. When Shaw came along and set in 2 way (for internet and STBs) they didn't correct the mistakes ... not believing there would ever be the penetration into homes we're seeing today! |

Yeah, I believe my area of Scarborough was served by "Trillium Cable" prior to Shaw.
It's sad to think that 10 years later, I am still at half speed of what I had with Shaw cable (10mbps down, 1mbps up). My DSL is 5mbit down and 640k up.
