| Shaw Bandwidth Chart
Has anyone else notice that Shaw secure's website has changed and main page.
And what caught my eye the MOST was under the Shaw Secure page, their is a Chart finally that shows your usage lol. I've NEVER had that shown on my secure page before. From what I read it was only for high usage users that got flagged and thus, were given a shaw meter showing them their usage.
Have I been flagged lol? or Does everyone have access to this now?

Everyone has it now. It seems like all of the pages changed in the past 48 hours. Previously, you could view your bandwidth usage through a Google Chrome plugin that would log you in and link you to the usage chart, even if you haven't been flagged.

When they had the old site the usage meter did not work during late night periods. Probably the same thing with the new site.

Technically speaking they've always had the right to charge you for overage. This whole kerfuffle lately has actually been about WHOLESALE sales to smaller ISPs. The idea being that once the smaller ISPs can't give unlimited plans anymore (cause they have to pay), they won't have to worry about losing customers who download a fuckton.
Apparently the rate they want to charge wholesalers is like 10c/GB, which seems fairly decent all in all. This means that it must be costing the providers at least half that to provide bandwidth.
I plan on writing in to the CRTC and making the point that if "90% of users are not approaching their bandwidth caps", then it should instead be those users who receive the adjustment. Leave the smaller proportion of overusing individuals to pay their current rates, and lower the basic rate for those who don't approach anywhere near their caps. Posted via RS Mobile | |

I just took a look, I'm constantly under and I download everything. I'm on Extreme so my cap is 100gb.
I wish you could edit your packages and change shit online. Their online area is pretty fucking useless.

I'm on Extreme too, and I thought I was in the 100gb month range.
Turns out my usage was pushing 130gb last month.
