Whats the shaw limit?
I have never had problems with this..

I've never had a problem with shaw's download limit. BUT if you use a P2P program like say Bit Torrent, which uploads almost as much as you download, you will run into problems with shaw. Shaw hates huge uploads. So if you can find a way to download lots w/o uploading, your in the clear.

you never had the option of buying it untill the last few years and I did a couple years ago and it knocks it down exactly 5 bucks a month so I now pay 40.00 per month. well actualy more like 150ish / month but that includes digital cable with 2 recivers (one normal one HD) and digital phone and internet.
