  1. I'm from Mexico but I live in Chilliwack at the moment. It's a 100,000+ population town about an hour and a half away from Vancouver. According to what I've been seeing around in different forums is a common trend now. I heard that they are implementing it region by region so probably those "upgrades" they are doing over here are those smart routers that can check the packets to see what they are for. Yeah, I was looking into that but the only other option is DSL with Telus, the west coast Telco here in Canada. I have no problem with them, I used to have their service in my old house but for having service with them I'd need to pay for a phone line too and I just got a cellphone... More than enough for me. I'd gladly join an initiative for some legal action or something...
  2. Thanks a lot for your help, it seems that everything is getting sorted out. I got a tech from Shaw to come to my house and after like half an hour of running random speed tests, he ended up telling me that it was because they are upgrading the zone and that if I'm having the same problems in 2 weeks I should give them another call. I found out that Shaw is actually doing some traffic shaping all over BC so my speed goes down to 20 K's when I'm running a Bit Torrent client. As soon as I close the client the speed goes up to 150 (still not the advertised speed but enough for surfing). I'm pretty upset about this, given that I'm paying for a service and I should get it, regardless of what I'm using it for, not all Torrents are illegal contents. I download several podcasts a day as well as game patches and software distributions that are served using Bit Torrent or BT-like protocols. I contacted customer service again and asked specifically about traffic shaping and they said that they are not doing it, I don't blame the guy on the phone because probably he doesn't know what the hell is going on with the company (I work for HP doing tech support for their notebooks, I know the ways of the corporations). I'm giving them the time the tech guy asked and if I don't see a solution to this problem I think I'm going to switch providers. Why in the hell would I pay almost 50 bucks for a high speed connection if I can only use it to check my e-mail? I understand the company's position but I would settle for a lower advertised speed that their networks can handle and that I can use for whatever I want instead of a useless ultra high speed. By the way, last year they were involved in a huge problem because they were blocking VOIP traffic from their competition. What do you guys think? Again, thanks a lot for your help!
  3. I have a Terayon Modem (could not find out what model) About BitComet I just activated header encryption and the speed came back, is probably my isp capping the torrents. I do have a router, a Linksys one. The problem is not there as I tried connecting the PC directly to my Modem without a big change. Thanks.
  4. That's cool Dorian. I called them twice already and they sent people. They said the cable is ok and came with a bullshit answer that the RJ45 that I use is faulty. I didn't have a cable tester at the time but I tried later and is in good condition. I actually told them something similar because I formatted my computer the day before they came but there was no change... Excellent results, by the way. Are you using cablenut? If yes, what CSS? Thanks again for the reply FallowEarth. The results: The first link: CP options string = 020405b401010402 MTU = 1500 MTU is fully optimized for broadband. MSS = 1460 Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS. Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 65535 RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits Unscaled Receive Window = 65535 Note: TCP 1323 Options need to be enabled for RWIN over 2^16 (65535). Windows 9x might also need the MS Vtcp386 fix. For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS. Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS: 513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4) 128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 64240 (MSS x 44) bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test): Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2621.4 kbps (327.675 KBytes/s) @ 200ms Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1048.56 kbps (131.07 KBytes/s) @ 500ms MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON Time to live left = 122 hops TTL value is ok.

Now, there is something new I noticed after using cablenut. I use BitComet as my torrent client and it was working fairly well until before cablenut. Now if I open Bit Comet I can't surf the web, I get 5KB as download rate. The Actual downloading is not sucking my connection because I only had 2 active torrents downloading at 4-7 KB each. I limited the download speed anyway but didn't work. I set up the port forwarding too. Do you have any idea of why this happened and how to fix it? Thanks again.
  5. I tried 2 different settings files from the ZIP (Cable/DSL 4000/512 and 4000/256) and it got worst: Your connection is: 1029 Kbps (about 1 Mbps) You downloaded at: 126 kB/s Your TRuSPEED: ^info^ 1101 Kbps :: 135 kB/s (7% overhead factored) Bottom Line: You are running: 18 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 8.13 second(s) Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 38.48 % of your hosts average (shawcable.net) http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweakr/block:38c2946?service=cable&speed=3000&os=winXP&via=normal Maybe I used the incorrect file? Thanks! P.S. I'll get the antivirus, I just want to set the Internet correctly before I start loading programs.
  6. Wow! That was fast! Thanks a lot for the reply. The only thing I've installed so far is Spybot S&D. Which file should I get from the link that you provided? Before I posted I downloaded Version_7_ALL_WIN_OS_AND_SAT.zip but didn't really know what to do with it. Thanks!
  7. I'm having a similar issue. I hope you guys can help. 1. Windows XP Pro SP2 with the P2P Patch. 2.My provider is Shaw Cable and the advertised speed is up to 5 mb 3. I installed CableNut and tried the files recommended in this thread.

I just formated my HDD last night so I'm pretty sure my PC is not the problem. I'm using a Linksys Router, tried to connect the modem directly to the PC and I get the same results. Any help will be much appreciated!
  8. I just joined Shaw and got the High Speed plan (advertised as up to 5 mb and 100x faster than dial up) but most of the time I get less than 1 mbps. I contacted the support through mail and they answered (3 days later) that they checked my modem and that it was OK and asked me to send results from the test. I did and been waiting for an answer for the last 3 days. Overall bad experiencie for me.
