Re: Cable always has upload problems

the argument is flawed, because when shaw states their statistics in those warning emails that say you're in the top 10 percent. They fail to point out how many people they already punted off their networks (or left due to the warnings).

why don't you guys see how that artifically lowers the bandwidth usage numbers their always flashing. Mix that with the caps, and of course its not hard to get in the top 10 percent. To get an accurate number, they'd have to let the floodgates open for a few months, let the people comeback, redo the states, and see what kind of average they get, and then still see if you're in the top 10 percent.

shaw controls their own bloody statistics through indimidation and threats.

Never heard of someone being punted off the system. usually it's a standard phone call/emial saying to slow it down a bit.. if you do, then they forget about you, if you dont, they turn off your modem for a predetermined amount of time (which they tell you before hand).
Ofcourse they dont count people that leave... you want them to count everyone who is not using thier internet? why dont you ask them to put thier caps up by making an assumption on the fact that they "could" have all of north america as customers... just sounds stupid now doesn't it?

What threats are you getting from shaw? I know i got a letter that said they are offering me a free trial of thier Cable because I have the internet.. O and there was this scary one about how they're offering a inexpensive phone service now.. ya that one was scary!
