Shaw down
| Message Board > General Chitchat > Shaw down |
| littledina User Info... | Morning all, just wanted to let you know if you're as frustrated as me, I can't get into my shaw.ca webmail account...confirmed with Shaw that the server is down, "they're working on it right now" as per shaw internet support...have a great day everyone. - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 6:40am | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | mine just worked - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 7:12am | ||
| Mace User Info... | 800 bux for a HDTV hook-up what a bunch of overly greedy ... good 4 nothing except jacking your service bills through the roof!!!Shaw are a bunch of bone smokin', chin ball wizards!!!!!!! - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 11:37am | ||
| Hang the DJ User Info... | Shaw's always down, it pisses me off. - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 12:37pm | ||
| The Wolf User Info... | Never down for me ???? Strange but I don't use SHAWMAIL... just Hotmail /Gmail.... - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 1:08pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | Ya, shawmail is usually where it goes weird. Otherwise I have awesome luck with Shaw internet stuff, and always have. Shaw beats the living puke out of Telus. I just can't believe that company. Anyone who tells you otherwise should be shot with a ball of their own shit! - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 8:09pm | ||
| Mace User Info... | I'd prefer using Telus or Rogers a 100x anyday of the given week, over Shaw. They even limit people on band-width.. Plus if Shaw feels like they want to take control of your email and 'NNB' your whole email account? They'll erase your whole email account and tell you one of their higher-up, watercooling exec's reserved your email name. And Shaw's great telephone subscription service- (it's like talking into windstorm...) - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 8:56pm Edited: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 8:58pm | ||
| Inhalien User Info... | I like the sex. Jahshamesh! Sexy time! - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 10:02pm | ||
| Ty Stranglehold User Info... | Shaw is way better to deal with than the likes of Telus. My stuff rarely goes down, and when it does I can get a real person on the phone. I've never noticed a windstorm on my phone either. - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 10:38pm | ||
| Swingin' Joe User Info... | I will second that. - Tue, 31 Oct 2006 10:58pm | ||
| littledina User Info... | hey there just thought i'd let you all know that when i got home from work today my shaw email was all good, so i was pretty happy with that.hope you all had a good hallowe'en everyone. - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 1:02am | ||
| Mace User Info... | Why Shaw Staff are where they are... is because they didn't meet up to basic standards of personal etiquette in pre-job screening applicant, requirements to work at Telus'. The reason why the majority of the Shaw Staff that work there, non-union@ $12.00 bux a hr? All Shaw personell should be taken out into the back parking lot and placed into a flaming pit of charcoal fluid... Shaw are the Marshall Applegates of Cable Companies- labeled a cult by any standard. (Even if their owner built one of the world's largest skateboard parks) Shaw is an entirely substandard wanna'-be mega-corporation... blah, blah, blah'nuff said! - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 1:13am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Strange, it didn't go down for me, but that isn't saying much (I'm over on 5th street in Victoria). Non-Union @ $12 per hour?!? They hiring?!? Oddly enough, none of the staff there have a clue what's going on, this includes TV as well as Internet. - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 1:18am | ||
| Mace User Info... | Hey, Griphin the big bux workin' for Shaw is if you start on as an 'Apprentice Technician' (I think it's around $15.00 to start Union benefits too) - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 2:19am | ||
| Rawb User Info... | My shaw cable internet connection has NEVER gone down. Ever. I'm on my computer a ton, since I use it at work and for work at home and I have never had a connection problem. Also the tech support representitives I've spoken with are all professional, polite and knowledgeable. They beat basically any other over-the-phone help I've ever experienced. Just yeaterday I called with a question about altering webspace. They could have told me how to do it (like most help I've recieved via the phone from other companies) but instead the rep was proactive and did it all for me, entusiastically, in about a minute. A+ - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 10:45am | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | I deal with fixing and installing internet for my clients all the time, for years, and hands down Shaw is WAY better than Telus. Faster, easier to hook up, more consistent, not to mention Telus have a nasty habit of clamping down on popular torrent sharing ports. One good thing about Telus internet.. I make more money from people with it. Recently I ditched my Telus phone service and went to Vonage.. Now I just need an alternate cell phone plan, and then anything labeled 'Telus' will forever more = profit to me :) Shaw tech support are alot better too. And nicer. (ie: disconnected for late bill, call at 2am, promise to pay in 2 weeks, instantly back on every time.. not that I dont pay my bills hehe ) - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 11:59am Edited: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 12:02pm | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | Telus: Worst Company Ever! Lets be fair and say: Worst Customer Service Ever! Yes, I do have an unnatural hate for them. There are some services I use at work which cannot be obtained elsewhere as yet, but rest assure once there is, goodbye. I use a $80.00/month Shaw connection as a backup to my hyper-expensive Fibreoptic-based Telus internet connection. Every time I am forced to switch the routing over to Shaw (Because of some BC-wide Telus outage), I contemplate leaving it there. Alas, the pipe is just not large enough for the entire company to use. When we're talking mobile Phones/Blackberry, I always use Rogers. I would throw away a phone which required the Telus CDMA/1x network. Good luck with access to the Southern Gulf Islands, forget about travelling to say: the US, Europe, Asia with a CDMA phone. Telus and Bell will not admit that GSM/GPRS is the dominant network. I switched to Shaw for Voice at home. No problems whatever. Shaw is not perfect either, nobody is. They do try hard and they understand the benefit of treating you well. Perhaps once there is no more competition, maybe they will become uncaring assholes, but until then competition is good for business. - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 1:37pm Edited: Wed, 1 Nov 2006 1:40pm | ||
| littledina User Info... | hey hey what's up! this has been really interesting to read back...seems like i should have said SHAW versus TELUS what do you think LOLZ? i have the digi phone/cable/internet package myself and its been great/cute installer dude too when he came over to install the phone 1 year ago now i think...seriously got 2 agree with the majority TELUS did suck and my phone bills were harsh as I had 2 teenagers with buds in van and alberta and nova scotia and me too calling van, and then all the extra little charges...ya I am defintely happy with shaw...peace & love dudes! - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 3:13pm | ||
| Tim-Bitchfork User Info... | Mines good, Shaw offers more speed for the money hands down, telus can't come close to the transfer rates I get: 10mbps down, 1 up - that is insane for $50 a month, I use the net for work so I did lots of comparing. - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 4:08pm | ||
| Mace User Info... | Oh yeah?! (You guys are being jacked.) I get 17-20mbps d/l's[avg- with tangible access] and 4-1/2 up mines only $34.00! Telus sux, and so does Shaw, but Shaw sux worse, cuz because some vampire exec. stole my email addy! And then some weirdo, who seemed to be paying more attention to me, than processing my payment, didn't actually process my payment. (So that's when I switched) Everytime I go into Shaw, the counter staff guys and girls are always drooling over me and wasting my time... (I know I sound conceited, but really, it's how it is with me there..) - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 6:41pm | ||
| Tim-Bitchfork User Info... | Alright man, calm down. I can only get shaw or telus here and guess which is faster? And it's never been down so i'm happy. - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 11:02pm | ||
| Mace User Info... | Okay man~ I'm calmed down, (Telus is faster) and neither has my Telus went down..(except for the one time that the entire Telus System last May blew a fuse out of the whole neighbourhood..) - Wed, 1 Nov 2006 11:10pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | Want to know your average speed. Go here: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ Connect to the Seattle server and post your speed. Telus will be a fixed speed, Shaw will fluctuate through the day. My current speed right this moment (Shaw) is 8387 kbps download. I average between 5000-9000 kbps, but at really busy times Ive been as low as 2000-3000 kbps, but never for long. And for those who are tempted by Shaws Digi Phone, look into http://www.vonage.ca first, its cheaper for the same technology. - Fri, 3 Nov 2006 12:36pm | ||
| Mace User Info... |  Last Result: Download Speed: 1293 kbps (161.6 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 531 kbps (66.4 KB/sec transfer rate) Telus FTW!!! - Fri, 3 Nov 2006 6:10pm | ||
| Mace User Info... | okay, so my telus sux, but what kind of system are you running that has this connection speed this high? 9000kbps? That's crazy! - Fri, 3 Nov 2006 6:14pm | ||
| Mace User Info... | Anyhow, I'm wondering what kind of computer you have that takes this kind of cable whipping ability.. I still have the option to go back to Shaw anytime I want, but why would I want to? My computer's not going to be downloading shit any faster than it already is.. - Fri, 3 Nov 2006 6:19pm | ||
| ML7Mike User Info... | well actually we are running Shaw Extreme now, but before we upgraded we were averaging 4000-5000kbps with regular Shaw, slow times were the same, about 2000-3000kbps. - Fri, 3 Nov 2006 7:30pm | ||
| Gman User Info... | Hey Mace, Are you, like, 65 years old? You're always, like, "meah! i'm mad! everyone's an ass! get off my lawn!" I have to consider that when someone complains about the world constantly, perhaps it has more to do with them than the world. knowwhatimean? - Sat, 4 Nov 2006 6:13pm | ||
| Mace User Info... |  Now, if you'll excuse me.. I have a game of Bridge to attend! FYI- any of you who think just because the download capacity is 10x what the reader says, doesn't mean you'll be 'downloading that fast'; remember you're only downloading as fast as the connection speed to the file or the other computer's connection speed allows you to. - Tue, 7 Nov 2006 12:52pm | ||
