Shaw vs Telus : Latency and Jitter

in this post i will be comparing the ping and jitter quality across Canada and the States for Shaw and Telus, my personal reasons behind this are gaming related, but that's still not the only reason better ping and jitter matters, ever since i switched to Shaw i have been hearing that the east coast routing isn't very good, especially to Texas, i have found this to be fairly true and wanted to put some light on the issue, it would be nice if Shaw improved there routing to the eastern and or southern states (at first i thought it was an eastern problem, now i'm thinking its a southern problem, as Shaw does have fiber going across most of Canada it helps with north eastern connections allot actually. For this test i used the same laptop, for Telus wired directly to my v1000h, 15 meg plan, vdsl2+ on the 17a profile, 1 other computer was connected wireless i believe but doing nothing on the network, i performed all tests at least 3 times to ensure consistency and the best results possible for the Shaw i have my Cisco DPC 3825 in bridge mode, bb100, 1 IP to one Xbox (which was in use during test, probably hosting) and 1 IP going to my router (D Link DIR 655) which was directly wired to my laptop, and i did have a few devices connected to the DIR using the network, i will perform direct tests to the Shaw modem at 0% network capacity in order to ensure i'm not loosing anything as it passes through my router(i suspect saving 1-3 ping, and possibly getting ride of a little jitter), plz ignore the differences in distance to locations as the internet thinks the location of my Shaw IP is north eastern canada i will do cities in alphabetical order, Shaw first, then Telus. Austin, TX (Telus Wins) [att=1] [att=2] Brooklyn, NY (Shaw Wins) [att=3] [att=4] Calgary, AB (Shaw Wins) [att=5] [att=6] Chicago, IL (Shaw Wins) [att=7] [att=8] Dallas, TX (Telus Wins) Denver, CO (Shaw Wins) Los Angeles, CA (Shaw Wins) Lynwood, WA (Shaw Wins, Closest ping test to me) Orlando, FL (Shaw somehow wins) Saint Cloud, MN (Shaw Wins) San Francisco, CA (Shaw Wins) Tampa, FL (Telus Wins) Toronto, ON (Shaw Wins) Washington DC (Telus Wins)
