| Is shaw slow as F**k right now?
Few days ago they shut down for maintenance from few hours. Now my shaw cable internet is reduced from 12 Mb/s to less than 1Mb/s.
Anyone else have the same problem? Can't even watch youtube or stream anything.
Area: Renfrew Heights
Package: High speed
Prev-Avrg DL: 12Mb/s
Curr-Avrg DL: 0.9Mb/s
Tech Support: No clue when back to normal.
Sorry if this has been posted before I can't find it.

if you look in the comp thread people in different areas have been getting really slow speeds (for a few/several hours) in succession

They reset the hubsite few days ago but it didn't work, there are still packet loss on the line ( slow speed on your computer ), they are changin a few things at the hubsite from 1am to 4am today i believe, hopefully that will solve it.
Call in and ask to check "dx3vt", it should be on their outage page, hope this help

I live near 29th ave/Joyce station and the speed has been abysmal the past week, always around 0.4 Mbps every time I did a speed test.
I just did one now and it's better 
but still not the 47ish I'm supposed to be getting before. I guess this is a good sign that things will be back to normal soon?
