Hey Guys,

Telus has pushed me to the point of no return for their service, and I'm looking to change ISPs to Shaw High Speed internet on Cable.

THe service I'm looking into getting is their Extreme-I internet.

Are there any users of their service here? If so could you make a quick reply stating if you're satisfied with their service, ect.

I would really appreciate the input/feedback

Thanks Guys,

-Ax

This is my telus not-yet-a-month usage...

I get an e-Mail warning me, but no service outage or bad speed.

As for Shaw... I tried Shaw a year ago... Sigh... I recieved lawyer letter for doing not even as much as you see up there... Unless you are a "goody" home user and not Download/Upload like mad... I wouldn't use Shaw even with the Extreme Package.

Of course, there are always exceptions...

Last year I made the switch from Telus ADSL to Shaw :) Best thing you could ever do. Shaw is 10x faster, 1000x more reliable, and their tech support is great. Telus lied to us over and over again, we got different answers ever time we called. One time it was "the hub in your area is down" another was, your not in our service area" what crap is that...

Get Shaw highspeed, its very fast. I had that and downloaded at 700KB, now I have extreme-i and I can get speeds high then 700KB (I have no idea how that is even possible since 5Mbps is topped at 700K i think.)

So you are very satisfied with your service? I do occasionally download a song off of LimeWire if I can't find it in iTunes music store.

Have you ever recieved legal warnings (if applicable to you)?

Here is what I do monthly:

Halo (alot, ask bangbang023)

Download maybe one or two full albums (60ish MB each))

Download maybe 5GB :shifty: of something

Visit alot of websites (ALOT)

along with the 2 other people that share this connection. We have never gone over the 50GB limit. So yea, its great, shaws tech support is also pretty good.

Anyone from Shaw (besides Kira-Kun) Get a warning from Shaw? If so was there any other action on the complaint/warning?

Thanks for the feedback so far!

You should go to http://www.dslreports.net and post there, lots more opinion or facts there. But if you search, you will find tons of Reviews/Complaints, etc...

*Both Telus & Shaw*

I had my service installed today, including the Extreme-I package.

Can you guys tell me if these speeds are okay for an advertised: "Up to 5 Mbps", uploads of "up to 1mbs".

That's worst than me... 5MBPS should be at least 500kb/s... and upload should be at least 100kb/s, what you are getting is like 170kb download but your upload is pretty close...

This is mine... and my plan is 2.5 MBPS Download and 640KBPS upload...

Download is .5MBPS off... but yours is like 3.x MBPS off.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
