Why exactly do so many of you need faster upload speeds? To run a server? AFAIK, you're not even suppose to run a server on home connections, especially with Shaw.
I don't know. Maybe it's me, but I think the internet is a privilege, not a right. I think it's within reason for an ISP to run any sort of QoS policy to control traffic when necessary to ensure an appropriate level of service. For instance, if the majority of an ISP's customers are being affected by a small minority (I.E. those who run BT 24x7 just to bump their ratio on some stupid private tracker), I think it's entirely reasonable for that ISP to take action against that small minority.
Really, you guys think small. If you heard how the ISP's in the States are treating their customers, you would be gracious at how well Shaw and Telus are as providers. There are ISP's in the US that actually enforce the bandwidth caps on their customers, and threaten to charge (and will actually do so) if they go over it - not just an empty threat like what Shaw/Telus does.
