Just wondering if anyone else has noticed that Shaw seems to be having systemic problems with their network?
I've run tests from several different locations and all of them seem to show significant intermittent packet loss to the first hop (gateway).
It comes and goes and some days are worse than others but it is persistent.
Funny you should mention that... Today I noticed the updates for Mint 9 are really slow. This is while they are giving me a month of upgraded speed. Over all I didn't notice any change in speed other than the occasional peak. Since you mentioned it, today seems to be particularly bad. Not worth the extra $10/month if you ask me.
Then there is their policy of slowing down the entire connection if they determine someone is using bittorrent on a LAN (even if the user caps the up and down speeds). BTW, I'm only using Firefox and Thunderbird at the moment. Things are pretty bad.
