VOIP in Trouble?
An interesting Article concerning VOIP service, and broadband giving their own products preferential treatment on their networks. I love my vonage. I'm not sure iif there is a way to see if Shaw is going to give priority to their soon to be launched voip product. I will have to do more research into the topic.

PBS | I, Cringely . Archived Column: "The Best days of Voice-over-IP Telephone Service May Already Have Passed

By Robert X. Cringely

These are heady days for Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phone services. From Vonage to Packet8 to Skype and a hundred more besides, several million people around the world are enjoying really cheap phone calls that are carried primarily over the Internet. But that fun may be diminishing soon because the big Internet service providers, which is to say the big telephone and cable TV companies, are about to start taking back that third-party VoIP traffic, leaving Vonage and the others at a distinct disadvantage."
