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

i went to the regular high speed hookup and am very impressed

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.

    • The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
