I experienced 80% plus of web sites bot connecting, yet checksite.us reported them as UP.
I'm on CIA using the Shaw plant and cable modem in Calgary.
I couldn't even reach their help page, so I sent an email on the 21st.
It took over a week to get it fixed.
I work from home a lot, so this was intolerable.
I canceled today as I got TELUS Turbo a few days ago.
They first said it was only affecting certain blocks of customer when I tried to cancel last week but was weet talked into staying a while longer.
Now they tell me it was a Shaw problem.
So CIA looses a client and Shaw looses some more wholesale revenue.
It had been going down the tubes for several weeks now.
A lot of connection resets. Timeouts to web sites.
slow network as in 1-3 Mbps when subbed to a 7.5 M service.
I know it cost me a bit more moving from 7.5 to 15 and I do get most of that, with a little bundling and some minor changes, I'm actually saving money to boot.
Since It's a 30 day cancel, lookout torrents, going to suck the network dry.
I've done 200+GB, lets see if we can beat that this final month, and for 1/2 price to boot due to their lousy service outage.
