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

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.

That's cool Dorian.

I called them twice already and they sent people. They said the cable is ok and came with a bullsh*t 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?

No actually im not using Cablenut. No idea if I could get it faster but after years of aganoizing download speeds im not screwing anything up . And aslo you can do something I cant...when it comes to bit torrent I get impossible speeds of 1-2 kb/s so good job there.

I was hoping someone could help here. I bought a d-link wirless router that included the usb part to plug into the other computer. I connected the main internet to the router on the downstairs computer (the main one) and used the usb wirless connection on the one upstairs. The one upstairs works fine but the one connected through the router has frequent crashes, the internet will disconnect every couple of a minutes...I have no clue why this is.

sorry for the double post but here are my new stats after calling shaw

so maybe call them and push em a bit.

Hey man id just thought youd want to know Ive actually fixed this problem since. I bought a brand new computer and I still had this problem. Now im getting a five star connection rating. All I had to do was call shaw and tell them "look I bought a new computer its not on my end its on your end" and after pushing them quite a bit they agreed to come out and take a look. The problem was inside the bulding. Thats been fixed and now so has my connection. Might wanna call shaw here and see if something similar could be happening to you.

Okay ive done everything on that list...what now?

Okay I have Shaw High Speed Internet Belive the speed is 2262 kB/s

Ill contiune doing the rest of the steps.
