I have to double check but I am pretty sure I tried that as well, I think it's the same port VOIP uses or something? I have heard about programs with encryption but never seem to find them ones, or where the settings are for it.

As quoted by my Shaw guy...... Regular high-speed is upto 5mb down a cap of 60 gigs xtreme1 IS 7mb down with a cap of 100gigs and it does cut my pings by half when I'm online in xbox live....

Anyone get the email from torrentleech saying they've been shutdown by the Riaa and they could only erase 18% of there data etc etc? I Just noticed it in my email now... and if you goto there site all there is, is a 403 Forbidden, Congratulations you are banned ?

I don't care what your shaw guy says, I have regular hi speed, and I am getting 7mbit, where from what you say I only have a 5mbit line... 7 mbit is about 855 kiloBytes per second, where by 'your' shaw guys response, I should only be getting about 610k /s...
