So I switched from Telus 50 to Shaw 150, and I noticed performance has actually been worse for streaming sites (YouTube, Twitch, etc.) Anyone else experiencing this?

Now that I'm on Shaw, I find that videos and streams have to buffer for way longer (sometimes 15+ seconds) and sometimes I have to switch to 720p for smooth playback. Speed tests look fine. 175mbps up, 15mbps down, 11 ms ping. On Telus I was getting 2-3ms ping but I don't think that should matter much right?

Does Shaw throttle these websites? Or is it something with my setup?
