kudos:1 | [ON] Does shaw use some sort of per-connection throttling? Hamilton:
Does anyone know if shaw is using any traffic shaping or throttling of their connections particularly by stream/connection? For example I can hit 50 megabits on a speed test but, if I use a single stream "wget" style file retrieval it will never reach that speed regardless of the file or server.

kudos:1 | Well thats not the case here, the tests are from a dual core router, connected to their fibre via a media converter, but ever since mountaincable got bought out, its been acting like its going through a throttling box.

| I wouldn't doubt Shaw is throttling, a lot of nntp users are complaining of slow speeds. Shaw has in the past bought up an ISP then lowered upload speeds also. |

Shaw doesn't throttle downloads, per their ToS. They only throttle uploads, and only when a certain traffic level is surpassed. I've never seen evidence on DSLR that anyone has used a shaper detector to find rate shaping on downloads. |

As soon as Shaw took over they ran everything including all fibre products (excluding vlans) through their Ellacoya boxes.

kudos:3 | Thats how it was setup when they bought them, I haven't been in their NOC/Datacenter since we moved our equipment out in Jan 2011. Have you given the hamilton NOC team a call? They used to be pretty helpful with stuff like this.
