<title>[AB] internet connection problems (maybe the modem)</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20975604</link>
<description><![CDATA[quick explanation: at least once a day (often 2 or 3) i have to recycle the power on my modem because it's lost the connection. this happens with or without my router. 

what is the problem?

long story: about a month ago i start having problems with my internet connection. in search of an answer to the problem i have, at various times: disconnected the router, released and renewed the ip address and replaced cables. none of this has resolved the problem. i suspected the on-board network adapter but am sceptical of this because recycling the modem resolves the problem. i've called shaw and they say the modem is functioning as it should be (of course i've always called for assistance after i've recycled and everything is working).

does anyone have any idea what the problem could be. i don't really want to trade the modem in because i know some people who have done this get an inferior modem. the nic card could be the problem but is there any way to test this before spending the money?]]></description>

<title>Upload vs Download Limits?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20498904</link>
<description><![CDATA[According to the terms of my Shaw High Speed Internet account I am limited to a maximum transfer of 60 Gigabytes per month.

I do a lot of bit torrent transfers, and in order to be a good citizen of that community I need/wish to upload more than I download. If my total transfers for the month remain under my 60GB cap, but I am uploading more than I am downloading -- lets says 30GB up and 20GB down in a given month -- is Shaw going to notice me? Will they be sending me any warnings? Or do they truly just care about the total?]]></description>

<title>[BC] Motorola 6416 III  PVR</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20946924</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just got a refurb from Shaw.  As luck would have it, it's a dud. It gets hot very quickly, locks up frequently, hard drive is noisy with loud clicking and chirping, PVR doesn't work.  This is why I hate refurb's.  I never get a good one.  :(]]></description>

<title>just curious who this was</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20942144</link>
<description><![CDATA[The other day in my walk home from work I seen a shawvtech hooking up what I'm guessing was Internet and he happened to be the same guy who did mine. He's very friendly and I'd have him as my tech any day of the week.  But anyways he mentioned something about thanks for the review on dslreports Or something like that. I'm just curious what his username is. I can't remember what his name was. I'm also worried maybe he was being sarcastic about that post I did about that shaw tech who I felt maybe betrayed me but at the end of the day didn't care cause shaws service is awesome. Anyways I thought I'd post something while my of was in the shop, the only way I'm posting this is from my new iPod touch LOL. I was half way typing this then my battery died so I'm hoping I'll make it this time. Thanks and take care guys.]]></description>

<title>HDNET will be 80% in two years</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20938491</link>
<description><![CDATA[I sent an email off to HDNET wit hthe following comment:
" am viewing this web site :  http://www.hdnet.ca/contacts.html   for a list of movies I can expect to see on HDNET in Canada and impressive as the list of titles are.. I don't see any of these playing in Canada thru my Cable subscriber - ShawCable . 
As you can see from the attached link that hdnet is followed by  ".ca "  which I believe is Canada .  .'com'   is USA .. Do you not have a time table of scheduled movies for Canada??  All we get here is maybe a couple movies a week and they are always mostly repeats,, ( I married an axe murderer  etc ) ,,..the rest of the week is 'In Focus' and 'Dan Rather reports' as well as a ton of wrestling shows .  
 
The good ol' USA  gets a plethora of fine films daily around the clock.. 
I guess , again, we are ten years behind the states as everything else we have.. "   unquote.
and this morning I got this back from the founder and president of HDNET (Mark Cuban):

"hdnet canada is still a brand new network. Over the next 2 years, you will see the schedules merge and become the same for 80pct plus of the day.

thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts !

<title>[AB] Problems with Nitro</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20934876</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hey guys hoping to get some help, here's my story:

Just got nitro installed today after many problems with telus,  tech said everything was ok and my line was actually a little hot. anyways pictures speak louder than words, is this the "up to" that i'm seeing? I'm in edmonton (sherwood park) with calgary being my closest server these - tests were done around 1-3 pm.

  
     
    

Besides for those two higher tests everything in mid states is around 10(usually lower) anything south or east is 5( and more usually around 3). Upload stays solid no matter where i test to.  My ms while gaming (mostly WoW :S)seems to have risen from telus, it'usually around 3-400ms now. 
Anything that can be done or should I just wait a couple weeks for a tech:s?  Also should i move to extreme-I? Have about 2-4 people regularly using this line. (all tests were done with just the 1 of course)
Any help would be appreciated thanks in advance!]]></description>
