It still sucks though. I think telus is trying the MS approach, trying to be the 'ISP for dummies'. A LOT of people out there don't know how to protect themselves, so telus figures it's up to them. I just upgraded to shaws 'extreme' high speed, have no ports that I know of blocked, and have seen 4000+ K download and 100+ K upload speeds. Maybe if telus sees a mass exodus of people [who also tell them why they are switching] they'll shape up. Technically its against the user agreement, but IMHO if you keep your bandwidth within reason they shouldn't just arbitrarily shut you down. It's like getting a ticket for going 1KM over the speed limit... <..snip> Nick _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
