Re: Cable always has upload problems
shaw makes more then enough to pay for the upgrades a year, they are just squeezing the existing system to increase profits.
They are like any other freemarket company, its about making as much money as possible, its not about the customers.
from their point of view, you can see why, there isn't really any competion in western Canada. You've got telus, and then you've got all the companies that resell either shaw or telus.
Telus is fairly slower, and has been dicking around with idea of caps lately.
shaw can just keep screwing people over, because they're aren't really any places for their customers to go. For ever high bandwidth user they dump of their system then can bring on about 300 people like my grandparents. Then is skews their statisitics (because they boot off all the high bandwidth users), then they can tell high users their in top 5 or 10 percent, went that number is screwy, because there can't be alot of heavy users, because they chased 'em all away.. lol
Shaw is so damned crooked it drives me nuts (I've been lingering on telus, because as of yet, they haven't punted me off or threatened me with suspension.. also no p2p throttling). Telus is slower, but in the long run (unless they do begin to enforce caps), having a slower speed, but a more accessible connection wins out for me. |
