Yes. I have had both Shaw and Telus. Shaw went from excellent to shitty, then OK then Rogers came in and I dumped them as the service was down a third the time and no will at their side to fix their cabling issues. Got Telus, half the Shaw speed but its up 99% of the time and really whats the difference between 330 and 128 MBs.
But the Telus signal from its internal router is a lot weaker than the Shaw signal was (when Shaw actually was up and running). I bridge it all to hardware firewall then to a Nighthawk router that can broadcast out to Mars it seems and its ethernet signal is excellent. But. Still there are dropouts.

So a few months back speaking with a friend who lives this stuff, he said you need to shut the hardware off on a regular basis. Routers in particular. After all, these gizmos are all computers at heart. Explanation was the internal cache etc needs to be cleared. And if you are just wifi not ethernet, add an extender somewhere near your streamer devices.

I am now trying to be diligent on this, shutting off the modem, the firewall, the router for a couple minutes every 10 days or so. Seems to fix the dropouts certainly on my IPTV and Roku boxes. Telus TV though? If the originating signal is shitty as in the Sportsnet 4K that has stuttering issues, not much you can do.
since getting the new rogers modem they lost my second IP address I had included with Shaw and nobody there can figure out how to get it back working, I use it for gaming where I need a seperate IP for use with another computer to not affect upload

Still lost in the '60s
Check out Loudermilk on Prime. It's funny as fuck. I'm literally laughing out loud.
Or as we senior citizens say, ROTFLAICGU.

Rolling on the floor laughing, and I can't get up.
Because I'm a senior.
Get it?
Thanks, I was close, missed it by two letters.
Doesn't seem like an exclusive problem to seniors.

If you’re into western/old west I recommend Yellowstone, and the spin offs 1883 (my fav) and 1923. And also Godless (Netflix).

I watched like 3 seasons of that on Amazon then it switched to pay-to-order and I said "nahh, I'm not paying any extra to have Beth Dutton piss me off". ;)

Finished the Old Man on Disney, cliff hangar waiting for S3. John Lithgrow and Jeff Bridges, winning combo.
I see S2 of Bad Girls is coming soon, great Irish comedy.
Also S2 of Wednesday, another great comedy.
My IPTV is off the air but S2 of Tulsa King, S5.5 of Yellowstone, S3 of Wrexham and a few others are all in the queue.

Started to watch Deadpool3, really tried but got just so far in then had to bail.
Same as Dune 2, the last Planet of the Apes, couldn't take it.
Stopped trying to make sense of the Marvel and Star Wars universes so those are all off for me.

The old stuff I used to enjoy just is not holding up in its sequels. Kinda like old heavy metal bands, guys just hang it up already.

I love cooking battles, survival contests, and weird foreign shit like Squid Game.

Seeing as how S. Korea is goong through a bit of an upheaval, I have take an increased interest in their culture and shows.

Having watched some pretty bad Korean films, I was excited and delighted by a show that was like a stark Korean mix of Master Chef and Squid Game.

Loving it!

It is called “Culinary Class Wars”.

Really well orchestrated and produced. The brutal yet authentic judging is refreshing, bring a squid game like reality to the art of competitive elimination

Enjoy.

Animated netflix series Arcane is pretty special. Some of the best animation you will ever see in a series. Animated show blue eyed samurai is also awesome. Kingdom (South Korean TV netflix series) is very good. Mindhunter is a well done show.

I dont understand the praise for yellowstone.
People would go on like its best show on tv but after watching enough episodes I started laughing at all the random are you kidding me!? moments that kept happening. For me the scenery is the best part of the show. At first I was pulled in but after a while it just started to feel so repetitious. Everything started to feel so unbelievable and over the top.
So many twists were happening that didnt have much weight in each episode because the storylines of these twists would die off so quickly. There was barely any slow burning build ups that carried on into the next episodes. This guilty pleasure feeling makes me want to finish it but its hard to connect with the series on a serious level. That scene where Rip wheeler goes off to hunt a bear but then finds an asian tourist couple hanging off a ledge. That scene was so comical. I couldnt help but laugh. Was that supposed to be a serious scene?
I could go on and on about out wacky scenes with that show. I cant believe it gets a 8.7 user rating on imdb. I have not watched any of the spinoffs so maybe the spinoffs could possibly be better?

If you want an amazing western series. Godless is where its at.

I had never heard of Interior Chinatown, but I checked it out on Wikipedia, and it sounds interesting.
What "channel" is it on? I hope it's Amazon Prime.
It's Hulu in the logo in the US, so I guess Disney here?!? Don't they own them? I use a IPTV stick that is open, so I get all the shows, just doesn't say where.

The Penguin. Colin Farrell is buried under latex and a fat suit, and is totally unrecognizeable, but he's fantastic. This show will win a ton of awards.

Yeah, it gets a bit much. When I started watching, I was expecting something like a more adult & gritty Heartland, as if crossed with "business boss" shows like Succession.
After a while, I was thinking "This is maybe a cowboy version of the Sopranos or Sons of Not-Anarchy?" I mean basically they act like the Montana cattle mafia, and I guess the point is, these are "old school land barons" and society is so slanted out there it just turns a blind eye? But it stretches credibility.

I enjoyed it better than the movie from which it came.
(Also, Sofia is, very much my "type", know wot I mean? :whistle:)

I’ve been watching the show Arcane and it is genuinely one of the best shows I have watched. As long as you look past the animation and the fact that it’s based of a video game.
