Re: 3web - Sick of "unlimited download" claims yet
said by Sean  :This isn't the case with DSL when 3Web sells it, because there's no "load problem" with DSL, as all bandwidth and hardware (except for DSLAMs and fibre/copper) is handled by 3Web. The DSLAM is acting like the node for a HFC network, that's where's the bottleneck.

Nope, the lines are "rented" out, and as such are still the property of Shaw. Shaw dictates how much "strain" on the nodes a 3Web customer can put on. The "strain" comes from bandwidth use, so, Shaw controls how much bandwidth 3Web users can go through.
