and is cheaper than Shaw. The only question is it says "unlimited downloads" on their website but is it unlimited uploads? hmm 20 minutes on hold and i'm still waiting for a rep. hehe

Interesting... let us know how it turns out.

ugh. 25 minutes on hold and now i have to hangup because my lunch break is over.

Are there any Puckers out there on 3web that can give us their personal experience with this company?

Years ago when Dial-up was still popular 3web came into business offering free dial-up internet with a banner ad that takes up 1/4 of your screen. I used it for 3 months and they started to go downhill and eventually tanked. So based on that experience I'm not sure if I can recommend them to anyone. Save yourself some grief and stick with Shaw. I have Shaw Lite-speed and I'm pretty happy with it, when I need to do a large download I just go to school.

I would stick with shaw if they would stop calling me about the bandwidth usage every 2nd week. hehehe. I guess i'm just a "little" over their 50gigs a month.

There's quite a few threads on this over at the http://www.redflagdeals.com forums. Some complaints about the customer service, but no company is perfect.

Shaw with I-Extreme is $47.95 per month, $34.95 / month with 3web (with a long distance package). Might be worth checking out.

right when I thought you couldn't get any more wierd.......

carry on......

There was a thread on another forum I visit and the general concenses was it wasn't worth it. Some customer service representatives would say unlimited and others would say no. They are essentially just reselling Shaw's service and as such they have to abide by Shaw's rules. Also, they only offer 1 IP address if that is a concern for you.
