Default Shaw Network Support

I know there's a couple of people here that work for Shaw, any clue how to get past the 1st level support to raise an issue at a network level?

I think I'm having a high level routing problem and the 1st level guys have no clue.

TIA

Can you confirm all your lights on your modem are blinking?

Can you pull the plug for your modem and your router and leave it power off for 30 seconds?

Can you plug the modem back in and make sure all the lights are blinking?

Can you plug in your router?

Did you try turning it off and turning it on again?

I'll ask one of my resources who you can talk to.

Edit: No luck.

But then I'll have fast uploads but slow downloads!

ETA: Oh and I'm talking with someone so this thread is now a general Shaw Sucks thread (though I don't think Shaw sucks, I've been very happy with their Internet for a long long time).

Is there anyone still at Shaw to answer this question?

You will be suprised how often that works... What it forces people to do is reseat the cable and make sure it is secure on both sides.

I recommended it to a friend once and it worked..

I'm sure they'll find middle management positions at some other organization.

Seriously though, my internet has been complete and utter crap for about 3 weeks now and my modem has crashed like 5 times. Shaw is really sucking these days for me.

We have an offer from Telus that I we are going to go with unless Shaw can give us like 20 years free and a modem that works.

TELUS lost me as a customer forever when they made me wait 4+ hours on hold multiple times.

Well to be honest my post was directed at the thread starter... and anyone who sits on hold for 4+ hours needs to either give their head a shake or quit being such an exaggerator. I know the hold times can be long but I think youre being a little ridiculous.

Plus if there are long delays, I believe both Telus and Shaw, offer a call back service.

Hmmmmm...
Had a problem just after I posted the above.
I had a field tech here before 6pm. Not bad for a Saturday.
Yup, Shaw tech support sucks.

I actually had a great experience with a shaw tech on friday for the first time. I had a motorola hd box that I got off ebay that was comcast branded and hooked it up with shaw just before they changed their rules about setting up boxes from other companies. I was told there would be no warranty or tech support for it. Rep came did a test showed box was dead and switched it out for a new box no questions asked
