^^ That will use a lot of bandwidth. Avg 2Hour of HD movie on Netflix is about 4 to 6 GB.

I'm pretty sure that regardless of how this turns out, I will leave Shaw for TekSavvy, based purely on the bullshit Shaw is/may pull, and how honest TekSavvy seems to be.

Except that Teksavvy also uses Shaw lines. So there will still be downsides if this goes through.

HD TV + Extreme =$85
HD TV + Warp =$105
I don't mind paying $20 more if I can get 50Mbps and 3Mbps up.
I'm just wondering if anyone has it to see what their speeds are currently like. Quote:

I doubt it'll be much faster for downloads. No matter how fast your connection is you're still dependant on how fast the source is. I think the key point is the additional 75gb of downloading which for $20 is not bad.

whenever i load up webpages.. the whole page loads at once
for downloads.. give or take
hd tv shows (around 1 gb) - 5 minutes
music albums (around 700 mb) - 2 minutes
blu-ray movies (around 8 gb) - 30 minutes
for the newer packages, $20 is not bad to upgrade. i'm currently paying $97 for the internet alone on the old package Quote:

Planning to switch over to telus only when shaw starts charging.
I'm averaging just under 500GB of usage a month.

as per shaw csr's they are currently not doing UBB... now does that mean you can just ignore the bandwidth limit for your internet plan (highspeed/extreme/nitro/warp)???

It's almost certain shaw will go ahead with per usage billing in late May or June. Posted via RS Mobile | |
