Is it possible someone is using my wireless, I have it security enabled. IS there a way to tell if someone is using it. I can see about 6 other wireless networks.
I have plugged directly into the shaw modem at the slow times and it seems to not make a difference.
Shaw has been out 5 times and whenever they come it is working well. I;m starting to get ****ed off at them.

This is a pretty good speed tester:

Something about ~3300 kbps on the download is about average for a non shaw extreme connection.
We had a major problem here in Hillhurst 3 weeks ago - brutal line speeds, HD not working. I put in a call, but it turns out some of the networking equipment in the area was on the fritz, not anything on my end. Apparently they've fixed it - I now get HD but I'm no where near those speeds...hmm time for a service call perhaps....
