seriously, is it actually 110mbps?

Have you done the 'ookla speed check' at different times of the day to see what you are actually getting ?

I have BELL fibre to the home which is 25mbps, no issues

I will test 12Mbps and increase from there until I find sweet spot

We were paying about $200 for the satellite /internet package then ditched Telus and pay $90 for the Internet with Shaw so money saved :thumbup:

The costs aren't especially onerous where I live. Tack on 13% HST of course.

I had Telus 100mbps but dropped it to 50mbps which is plenty fast enough to stream. When i have buffering issues its the feed im streaming from, i just choose a different one and away it goes. Normally only an issue with older movies/TV shows.

Oh poop i forgot to watch game of thrones last night lol

But keep in mind that with TekSavvy you have to pay for the installation as well as buy your own router from the very limited selection of routers they have as their system does not support a lot of good priced routers available in the market.

We did get a crappy Shaw one but bought a decent dual band Linksys one which also as a bonus has parental controls on it.:thumbup:

Just me on mine (Phone, Tablet, PC, PS2, Raspberry Pi/Kodi) so 50 is plenty lol
Tried Shaw but there speed isnt constant as its generally a shared connection.

Yes but he has managed to circumvent it anyhow, little sod. I'm going to have to reset the password. Maybe Stinky1 wasn't the best choice!:lol:
