I've gotten a couple letter in the mail to tone down my act but porn/movies/music is just too tempting. Plus, if I get the boot I'll just sign up for shaw. The companies will give you some lee way but if you blatantly go above your limit they will start hassling you.

^ Heard about it few weeks ago. They are currently testing that service in Saskatchewan.  Anyway, I wish Telus would auto upgrade our speeds... :/

It is free to swap to a Moto if you have Terayon. Bring it to the 3 stores in downtown, north van, or surrey. If you really really cant make it then call the tech helpline and they can send a tech to swap it. The reason why Terayon is slow because it is on an older network infrastructure compare to Moto. The company is now concentrating its resources on the latest DOCIS 3.0 network.
And dont forget to bypass your router and firewalls if you want to test out your true speed.

I noticed Shaw says up to 15mbps for Extreme. I'm on Telus and just checked their site and they now have their enhanced high speed and they list "10-15 mbps" which I'm assuming means I should get 10 as the minimum and may get up to 15.
I used to be on Shaw, but too many assholes in my area hogging bandwidth so my connection was always slow. At least with Telus I always got the same speed, even though it was slower.
I just signed up for the Telus Enhanced and I'll do some speed tests to see if I really get the "10-15 mbps" they claim. If not, then I'm going to switch back to Shaw and try their Extreme.
Funny thing, Telus wants 50.95 per month for enhanced which is the same price Shaw lists for Extreme if you're not part of a bundle. And they both say 100GB limits and 15mbps top speed. That seems like quite the coincidence to me. | |

Toned down the downloading and haven't heard anything since then. This was a couple of years ago though. Good to hear that they aren't too strict about it.
