Its no better than Comcasts Extreme tier with a cap of 250GB.
I would just go with comcast or att
The cap really stinks :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21947457 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 11:15:54 EDT Re: What a cload of crap http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21946838 Mustafa : A couple of things how many servers are actually going to be able to give you those speeds?

Shaw also has 10Mbs and lower packages that most people can barely get half those speeds especially during prime times. This is from my own experience testing my computer and some of my neighbors (east end of town) and my sisters and some others on the west end of town. So what’s the guarantee that you would actually get those speeds unless you had your own personal node or one with few people on it?

I guess it looks good on commercials.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21946838 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 09:19:09 EDT Re: What a cload of crap http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21941043 murky : It may be insulting to you but since I could never afford the service that part of Shaw's statement is irrelevant.
What is relevant as a home user is this part of the release:
"In addition to High-Speed Nitro, Shaw High Speed, currently offered at 5 megabytes per second (Mbps), will be bumped to 7.5 Mbps with PowerBoostTM, a feature that provides a 5 to 20-second burst of speed that makes downloading files and webpage's even faster; and High-Speed Xtreme-I, currently offered at 10 Mbps, will be upgraded to 15Mbps with PowerBoost."
I commented that I hadn't seen the change as of yesterday and find that it has been implemented today :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21941043 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:26:00 EDT Re: What a cload of crap http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21941035 NeoandGeo : It is no better. It's actually worse. Much worse.

This is insulting and pathetic on so many levels.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21941035 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:25:02 EDT Re: What a cload of crap http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21940969 ztmike : Its no better than Comcasts Extreme tier with a cap of 250GB.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21940969 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 10:09:13 EDT What a cload of crap http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21940929 TigerLord : 249.95$ for a 200GB cap?

"More value" for your money. People who can afford will not be morons, this is so insulting.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21940929 Thu, 19 Feb 2009 09:58:16 EDT
