| Anyone using Shaw also getting slow down speeds?
I have noticed a noticeable slowdown in Shaw's cable internet last night and today.
I did a couple speedtests and some basic cmd line troubleshooting things. But otherwise those really are the only options I can think of to figure out what's up.
Has anyone heard of any maintenance or throttling going on?
Further info:
I have Shaw's Extreme Package 10Mb/1Mb
Typically the speedtest will show 9Mb/900kb but now it is showing 5-6Mb/900kb
Ping's to the test servers have been 200ms and higher (Lynden and Vancouver server both tested)
I can't determine whether or not games are affected as there was an update from Steam that has caused some wild ping problems.

You have tried speedtest.net, have you tried www.speakeasy.net/speedtest with the Seattle server?
My download speed isn't near the advertised speed, but it up there time to time.

It seems mine has been upgraded. Was peaking at 600kb/s download before, now at about 1000kb/s.

consistency is key -____-

download speed test at speedtest.net using vancover server are not accurate. what is accurate is the shitty latency. 400-500ms is garbage.
