^^ If SHAW can't meet the demand they will either need to upgrade thier hardware or Stop singing up new services.

If they say they can offer say 15mb/s download then I should expect 15mb/s all day not what's happening now. Where during busy time the speed goes down to 7mbs/s. Rather than upgrading their hardware to provide better service they rather bill customer so no one is going over their limit.

If SHAW true intention is to provide better service they can simply throttled BT and P2P traffic during the day (which they do it now anyways) and say between 2am to 5am the don't throttle any BT P2P traffic. What this does is it will make people do their download at night where no one is actively using it, clear their nodes during the day so everyone gets a faster connection.

Let's put it this way it cost SHAW less than 20cents (most lilkely less than that)per GB if they do purchase it from an upstream provider. Since SHAW already have the cable wire to your suite it doesn't cost them anything more to provide you the extra bandwidth coz will the hardware is already installed.
