Shaw slow as molasses today!

Anyone else noticing that Shaw is REAL slow for downloads today. Websites pop up fairly quickly like normal but downloading anything is REAL slow.

dslreports speed test gave me a rate of about 100kb/s up and down. I usually get between 1000-3000kb/s down and maybe 200kb/s up. Shaw speed test gave an average of 250kb/s up and down. Still extremely slow.

I'm located in Kelowna, BC

It seems to have picked up. That slowdown WAS unusual for my area.

My slowdowns have continued. I think it is related to the BitTorrent slowdown others are talking about. Apparently Shaw is using packet shaping to selectively limit traffic. I am noticing it on more than just BitTorrent though. Mostly Bittorrent but it seems to be effecting other things since my speed tests are also VERY slow lately.

It seems to come and go but over time it seems to be mostly staying

Here in vancouver BC near boundary Rd,

downloads are 250KB a second and uploads are 50KB a second. okay speeds for the regular shaw service, but for $10/mo for extreme-i, its disgusting. extreme-i speeds are normally double.
