superstacker009 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! Lightspeed Internet (on Shaw lines) has been slower for me since about two days ago. I live in the New West area. Curious if anybody else is getting slower internet too. Thanks! Edited December 9, 2020 by superstacker009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RUPERTKBD Posted December 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2020 I'm not on Shaw, but I have noticed that CDC is very slow lately. I've gotten several Gateway Timeouts over the past couple of weeks. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does affect internet speed. Anyone remember when the Canada Immigration site crashed when Trump was first elected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RakuRaku Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Glad you brought it up!!! I was berating at Shaw quite a few times already and they finally set up an appointment to have a tech over to fix up the signals.... it's been horrible the last couple weeks... unstable connection and worst of all, my Zoom/Whatsapp video call functions have been quite dead... I had zero leverage to dispute with them as I've just renewed the 2-year deal... such a crap deal as I'm paying for the Internet 600 already with a new blue curve....

Elias Pettersson Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I have TELUS 1GB. It's way faster than when I had Shaw and much more reliable. I got a pretty good deal on it too as my contract was up and I told them I would be switching to Shaw unless they upgraded me for free from Internet 300. They did!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slower Shaw where I am too. I thought it might be cause we recently installed a router. but they said it shouldn't be. Claimed they were having no problems. Ya, that's what they all; say. Gonna switch one of these days.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Shaw myself...I find I need to power-cycle EVERYTHING connected to the network every week or so. Makes a world of difference. Something in their encyption coding causes a build up and overuse of memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that with Shaw. And they did absolutely nothing to keep me. So I switched. Haven't looked back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't looked back. You have to get the right department (their loyalty department - they actually have to call you back). and when you do you can get great deals. I did with Shaw.

I did with Shaw. I got Shaw to match the reseller price with little to no pushback thanks to retentions. Key is to have a deal that you're willing to switch to already, and never call if you aren't actually willing to walk if they don't give you a fair price.

Nucksfollower1983 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have thought about switching to telus but I stream lots of movies and tv shows on kodi media center. I dont think its actually illegal, maybe falls into a bit of a grey area but shaw never gives me any problems over it. For those of you on telus how do they react to streaming on kodi? Do they give you any trouble over it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they give you any trouble over it? No troubles from Telus on Kodi. Although I don't stream as often lately. Been having trouble with Kodi. Been getting no stream available. Wondering if I have to reinstall or find some other app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silky mitts Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Hey i was having major problems especially at night! What did the trick for me was upgrading to the new modem. Maybe check to see If you are running the old one still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
