    Default Shaw Extreme is monitored now!

    DAMNIT!

    I got a phone call from shaw earlier, saying they now have the tools to monitor my usage. They say the limit is 50GB combined upstream and downstream.

    Anyone else getting a call? Is there anyway not to have my usage reported as often?

    I usually do a minimum of 150GB down a month

    Looks like I will be going back to Telus...again.

    anyone on extreme going over 50gb will be getting a call no doubt, I just think its gonna take em a while to get through all the accounts.

    i was near the start of the alphabet, thats probably why

    dont forget the trick with telus's 24.99$ monthly fee.

    once you are with them 10-11 months tell them you are gonna change ISP and telus in order for you to stay will offer a monthly payment of 24.99$ for a year again

    thats cool but I am going to get their 2.5Mbps packaged, 1.5Mbps is WAAAY to slow coming off of shaw extreme at 5Mbps. so its gonna be like $44.95 for me

    mm i just switched from telus to shaw, mainly because i kept getting random disconnections and u guys know how bad it is to deal with when ur in the middle of a game. so u might wanna think of that too

    my past experiences with telus have been good. if you are within a decent range its good but if you are far away from their closest central spot then its not as good.

    depends where you live I guess and if you are an avid gamer but ya disconnects or lag spikes would suck ass if you game online.
    im gonna call and see how far away I am

    Yeah I got called for 250GB and my buddy got called for 600GB. I'm pretty sure he takes the crown for bandwidth abuse.

    Never return their call but toning down my d/l.

    But the good thing is, I got away with it for a few months when they are not looking.

    Anyhow, I'm looking at these guys @ www.3web.com for a back up link in case Shaw ban me. Sounds like $30/month for unlimited high speed access. Not bad for a altenative.

    hey i know about 3web

    i did my fair share of research, basically they just RENT your shaw account, im not quite sure if ur banned from shaw, if it will work?? since they only rent out shaws acct and take less of a profit. As for unlimited downloads?? there site says this BUT their CS peoples on the phone say its pretty much the same as shaw. SOOO basically you pay a little less for shaw usage, for some this is good, but you get SHITTY customer servise from 3web, for some bad cuz they have a digital cable bundle which saves them money????

    3web is still a shaw customer and will have to follow the download limit as well, theres no easy loop hole like that, good luck.
