It has eluded me for some time now why shaw doesn't give you faster upload speeds.  I know all about DOCSIS, blah blah blah.  My current plan is 300/15. As someone who does a lot of video uploading, faster speeds would help cut down wasted time.

DOCSIS 3.0 (released in 2006) supports speeds up to 1Gbps download and up to 200Mbps upload.
DOCSIS 3.1 (released in 2013) - up to 10Gbps down, up to 2Gbps up
DOCSIS 4.0 (released in 2017) - Up to 10Gbps down, up to 6Gbps up

So why does Shaw not offer higher upload speeds when the technology they employ is designed for faster speeds? I understand there's a price for the "latest" technology, but why has Shaw (and actually most Canadian companies selling access to technology) lag behind?

Lastly, there will be some one who will mention switching to Telus, but Telus sucks in Calgary. I was a YUGE Telus internet subscriber (swore by them to all my friends, etc) before I moved to Calgary from BC and not sure why, but Shaw has it nailed down in this city. I've even lived in multiple communities and even friends who have switched to Telus can't wait to switch back to Shaw. My landlord upstairs even switched to Telus last month for a week before he canceled and sent back the equipment, so Telus is not an option.
