As I said I'm on Starchoice or Shaw Direct now, so a different box altogether.

The special hoop is having to run their router, so I can't run a router that I think is appropriate.
I realize that with their special router the TV service will never suffer as they adjust the QoS for that, but with any Internet connection if there are torrents running that are saturating the connection, and then I try to load up and play an online game, the ping will be through the roof. The router I have I can setup my own QoS so that my torrent can be using 100% of my connection and everything else will run smoothly. I can't do this with Optik. Unless they give you access to play with the QoS rules, which I doubt.
