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)? -Ax |

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! -Ax |
