It's all about the equipment. Cheers! I have to agree with Pavel here; I use QOS with a Linksys WRT54G and I have Shaw and my times are within reason plus I do a LOT of heavy downloading.

I have also found that LittleSnitch can slow down a system if you are running filesharing in the background so if you are using it try switching it off for bandwidth intensive tasks.

I suggest a Linksys WRT54G (or GL) and Tomato firmware. http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato An easier way to do it would be to use QOS.

I usually get around to watching some of them on Sundays. There is a program called TubiTunes for downloading YouTube videos to your iTunes: http://www.manytricks.com/tubitunes/ A neat app would be one that queued your online videos for you, then stayed on top so you could work while you watched. After one finished, it would head to the next one. And no downloading -- or if so, only temp files -- because I never save these kinds of videos.

I have not heard of similar stories. What a smart, forward thinking community you have. So I phoned last night, and now am seeing 12 way up to 31 Mbps! I'll keep my eye on it. I hate network issues, particularly wireless -- thankfully, this is not. If there was a $50 device to test and diagnose network issues, I would be all over it. Wow Zachary!

I am getting 10.5Mb/s down and 9.5Mb/s up. I have the low end plan. They also offer 30Mb/s and 50Mb/s plan. Anyone on the same citywide network can communicate with each other at 100Mb/s. We voted for Fiber 4 years ago and were in a legal battle with the phone companies for that many years. It is interesting that all those companies (AT&T, Cox, etc.) are now upping their speeds in our area to compete. A smaller city like Lafayette, Louisiana would never have had this type of speed otherwise. I’m lucky my city government decided to offer Fiber to The Home for everyone in the city.
