Just recently I noticed that when I try and upload a file from my Shaw home Xtreme account via SSH (scp), the transfer starts out quickly reaching nearly 1Mb, then my entire Shaw connection clamps right down and my ping times shoot through the roof (800ms).
In fact, not only does the upload slow to a crawl but the entire connection becomes unusable for anything.
I don't do a lot of uploading but I don't recall this ever happening before.
Is anyone else seeing this? Has Shaw started some heavy duty traffic shaping?
