The one thing I don't like about Shaw is that they have a bandwidth cap, whereas MTS doesn't.

Did you get a residential connection? If so you may want to look at their AUP...

That's bullshit. You can still easily host an HTTP server with them.
A person I know, who has hosted an HTTP server on his residential shaw connection for approximately 3 or 4 years has never had any problems.

Wow, I thought the US had it rough when it came to broadband, and you guys live in a city....

Yes, Canada does have shitty broadband. My school, which has hundreds of computers in it, only has a shitty 7MB connection cause that's the highest MTS offers (even for businesses).
I'm pretty close to that right now..
So I'm OK. But many other people who are paying normal prices aren't. ;)

Yeah, I'm aware, MTS has similar restrictions. If Shaw wants to complain about it, I'll just change to MTS. If MTS complains, I'll find another ISP (there's one other here, a long-range wireless one, I forget what they're called).
Skywing:
Very poor performance at ~1p central time today. However, doesn't look like a net problem for me right now, last responding hop is reasonable (<100ms). Perhaps the box is/was just loaded?
iago:
It's possible. It's also a shared line (being cable), so maybe there was a spike of people checking the weather (just started getting blizzard-like conditions) :)

There are two actually.
WiBand - The one you're most likely referring to.
3web - A Shaw reseller, I believe. They sell cheap though.
