Default Does the ISP called 3web (Canada) filter file sharing?

Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone is using the 3web ISP in canada and whether they are blocking file sharing, specifically upload traffic. I'm looking to switch from Shaw and was wondering if these guys are any good.

Thanks!

Um, I'm not sure what you mean by that? Could you please elaborate?

I re-read my post and it's poorly worded. Just to clarify, I'm thinking of switching TO 3web FROM Shaw.

Thanks.

Ok I see what you mean now. I know that they are allowed to restrict your uploads. That's what Shaw does to me right now. My downloads are fine, but my uploads are almost completely blocked.

What I'm interested in knowing is whether 3web blocks uploads the way that Shaw does. I know they can if they want to, but DO they?

Thanks.
