Re: TELUS vs SHAW for Personal Home Hosting. Well I have tried it before quite a while ago on both Telus and Shaw and here is what I found.
Telus overall is a lot more consistent and I had no problems with them.
Shaw in general was ok. The issues is in bandwidth if you host a popular server you can consume quite a bit in 1 day. The problem is you start reaching your bandwidth limit you will have to make sure you fall under. Also expect your account to be flagged...when I quit hosting even months after if I just turned on the server for 5 minutes to test something (only traffic between me and the server no other players) and my internet would seem to slow down to a crawl.
Overall both options will be good for your needs. I personally never had any issues with Telus, however, with Shaw I had a few issues. |
