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?

[corollagtSr5]

its for everyone

[Spectre_Cdn]

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.

[Gunsmokez]

wow, I have been consistently over lol. 150 to 250 gigs a month.

Time to check into Telus Turbo 250 gig limit.

[satek]

Yup, I've been over every month too....fml

[ruthless]

highest ive been is 33GB only half way to the 60GB limit of high speed :)

[Nightwalker]

Wow, their whole site looks redesigned for me since a few days ago.

[tamazoid]

Nvm, I've found it.

[carisear]

Where do I find it? I don't see my chart...

Nvm, I've found it.

i don't see my chart either? where did you find it?

[Gunsmokez]

WTF, odd I don't even see it anymore.

[eFx[A2C]]

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

[hotjoint]

I've always had access to it. I'm using the plug in for my chrome but with shaw's decision to review this again in 3 months due to public backlash, go nuts downloading :)

[friedn00dles]

screw you shaw! I do not torrent but rather have access to multiple $$$$$$$$$$ & Rapid Share accounts to download directly.

Two fresh 2TB HDD is waiting to be filled :)

[fsy82]

[kyoshiro]

they're thankfully not charging for overusage until atleast another 2 months cuz they got shocked by how many people changed over to telus (including myself) thus theyre saying they gonna have a customer discussion session lol
but yeah not going back cuz they be pulling shit behind people's back

they still think i owe em 270 bucks cuz I returend my equipment via UPS

[Graeme S]

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.

not anytime soon. They are still discussing how to tackle this situation

[Nightwalker]

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.

[Revillusion GT]

LOL I'm almost double ... every month

[Culverin]

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

[geeknerd]

is anything happenning with telus?

[LikeASir]

^^ that

[J____]

im on extreme and im at 300gb/month. I just do basic surfing + skype video and occasional downloads. My 2 roomates stream on PPS and i guess that racks up quick.

Bandwidth costs are about 1c-3c per gig depending on routing and we can virtually say its near free, i believe the wholesales were getting charged 15% discount on the rates that the wholesaler charges consumers so depending on plan, they can charge $2/per gig @15% discount to wholesales.
So in other words, there would be no different from getting a plan from small isp because its the same as the large isp thus we have no competition as its all going to be the same business model/cost/etc
so we consumers have the choice of the name of the isp but not any real choice

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - They hear you loud and clear; Shaw is backing off plans to charge customers for going over their Internet usage limits.

The plans have been put on hold to allow the communications giant more time to consult with the public. The consultation period is set to last two months. After that, Shaw will look at its options and announce a revised service plan later this Spring.

Originally, the move towards caps was to coincide with a CRTC decision effectively put an end to unlimited internet plans in Canada. Shaw President Peter Bissonnette admits a flat-rate, unlimited internet service could be an option that may be considered in new plans.

Shaw will release times and locations for its public consultations this Monday.

Openmedia.ca responds

We've won the battle, but not the war. Openmedia.ca says its ongoing "Stop the Meter" petition drive helped make Shaw rethink its stance on usage caps.

National Coordinator Steve Anderson feels Shaw is caving to public pressure now. "I think that they're on their heels, backing up right now. But that doesn't mean that they will be gone for good."

But he adds this is no time to ease up on the big ISPs. "That's really what's moving things," says Anderson. "If we want to make sure that this sort of victory sticks.. people need to get on [our website] and sign, and share it with their family and friends. We need to keep that pressure up."

what movie is that clip from again?
