[Discuss] Shaw regular average speed vs. Telus?

[Thor Heinrichs-Wolpert]

No worries.  A guy at shaw gave me the tip as the tech's can see and support those guys.  Sales doesn't always know where thos places are and distance from the CO or some other jump point to your location is a large part of the cost.  I'm just passing along his tip as it saved me a good chunk on a dedicated line from Telus.

HTH

Cheers,

There's a few decent spots that both Shaw and Telus have for fiber depending on where you are, try and find a service that has a bigger client close by (like Disney, EA, etc.) which can dramatically reduce your costs since you can leverage the upgraded CO for those clients.  In the past I found asking the tech support helplines pretty effective in finding if there is a local connector close by.
