I smell a $10 rat....
Shaw wants us to pay $10 a month to turn on a "QoS" (Quality of service flag on their head-end routers.) $10???? This would be a feature like call waiting on your phone, in todays prices, would you pay $10!!!???? I think not!
I've got the "Shaw Extreme" and, until very recently, have been VERY happy with it. All of a sudden Shaw comes out and says "Oh, we offer a $10 a month service to improve your VoIP calls. OR you can use OUR VoIP services and We'll turn that flag on for you for free!!!!
Funny how my Vonage box has been ROCK SOLID until this new "feature" has been offered. I get 125KB/sec uploads to everything else.. I've got QoS enabled on my Smoothwall firewall to allocate 10KB/sec upstream to my vonage and yet... I'm still getting dropped packets during calls, especially local calls to Vancouver, Burnaby and New Westminster. With ZERO other activity on my network.
Shaw and their new Ellacoya switches (do a search on Bittorrent and packet shaping) have the ability to mess with any datastream they so choose. If my "conspiracy theory turns out to be true" sign me up on the class action lawsuit...

• I am experiencing outgoing call quality issues. Funny thing is inbound calls
• No one has any suggestions for me at all?
• similar problems, similar results, One thing worth mentioning is latency between
• You're getting a lot of packet discards, but still it seems like the numbers don't
• I'm having problems recently with my vonage service over shaw. Up until last week
• Exactly the same for me, as well. My Vonage was running stable and sounded crystal
• Looks like I'm not the only one experiencing this issue, and plus it also just started
• Shaw has been quietly offering the QoS tax....err enhancement for a few months
• I'm in Calgary, and I've been getting really bad ping times here:
