[RndTbl] My Shaw Broadband 50 turned into Dial-up

[Bradford C. Vokey]

Speeds went back to 45 Mbps at 2:30am. Worked great all morning until prime time hit again, now this evening it's back 
to 2 Mbps. I got Shaw to credit my bill and they gave me a free VOD pretty easily. I think they know there is a 
'problem' on my node.

Don't you LOVE all us Netflix users?
