I ordered NBA League Pass earlier this year and when I got it started, noticed I wasn't getting HD, nor was I getting HD on Netflix. Note, I access both through my Xbox.
I went to Shaw, who gave me a modem and a splitter so that I could use a hardline (don't know if that's the right term) without having to snake a network cord through the house. That was in early November.
Around Christmas time, the second modem stops working. I try resetting it a few times with no luck. Finally, I called tech support, and I get the following, in point form:
- Can't run two modems in the house. Apparently, they start fighting over the connection
- For the "low" price of $13 a month, I can get a second line installed
I think it's bullshit, and don't think a second line is worth the money. It seems rather expensive, and if I add it on to the cost of a Netflix subscription and an LP subscription, it makes both services unaffordable (cost > benefit).
I know this is more of a rant than anything else, but I just think it sucks and was looking for somewhere to vent. The reason I wanted the second modem was because I wasn't getting a strong enough wireless signal to my Xbox, and thus getting less than desirable video quality on Netflix, and lag on LP.
