Well to put this in context, when Shaw took out its VoIP packages many users found they could no longer use third party services (like Vonage) due to excessive line noise.....Shaw's solution was "we can fix it switch to us"
I have a terrible feeling this $10 is not QoS in its proper sense, but rather a fee for using third party VoIP providers with your shaw connection, so if you pay $10 they won't (or at least won't try to) scramble and block all VoIP traffic...
All that said, this is just what I've heard coupled with my opinion, no hard facts to back this up since Rogers (rather than Shaw) has covered my area for the longest time....(and have been using TekSavvy as an ISP for the last little while with very good results)
Any Shaw users that can comment on their current VoIP experience???
