Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

Sorry guys i'am going back to Telus..Shaw sucks and blacks out and i have to re-boot and unplug my modem every 2 days.

Call them or send an email. You will have someone there tomorrow (yes, Sunday). Their service is great, IME. They fix problems and quickly.

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

if you have slow shaw or issues like that its either your router is complete crap or you have poor signal coming into your house.. if you have cable to your TVs go to the lower channels like 2-5 and if they are fuzzy then its signal issues.. could just need a new splitter

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

plug your shaw modem into your computer directly see if it fixes your internet. i had to replace my linksys router like 3-4 times in one year before. since, i have also put on the dd-wrt firmware on it and its been running a-ok for a long time.

i heard that shaw only calls you for extreme b/w usage if you place in the top10 each month lol, so make sure you are #11 or higher haha

there were months where i used hundreds of gigs per month on extreme and no calls.

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

i am uploading and downloading stuff using newsnet every second of every day. i consistently move 500gb's down and 200gb's up a month and have never had a call from Shaw.

I'm in an apartment building too, i thought it would be a serious problem but no issues whatsoever. and i can xbox live without lag at all

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

OK so everyone is saying how fast stuff is (or how slow telus is ) but no facts!

Everyone run this bandwidth speed test and please copy paste the end results n post if your with telus, shaw etc and the type of connection you have, high speed, extreme etc and the numbers from the test and lets see how they compare. These results were very accurate compared to my normal DLs so a reasonable test.

Im on Telus at the moment and am thinking of changing tv phone internet etc to others so im very interested in what they actually perform like.


So Im with Telus, high speed, and i get
Download Speed: 1718 kbps (214.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 759 kbps (94.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

edit:
lol and heres the test Doh! http://www.bandwidthplace.com/

Telus

Not that it really matters to me though, Shaw does not service my area anyway.

Shaw Highspeed.

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

I'm going to get Shaw Extreme once I move into my new place, I've known it for ages.

At the moment I'm at work with 5 up and 5 down from Shaw, however my father has Shaw at his place and just did a test for me. He's also got the High Speed package, not Extreme.

My preferred test site is Speedtest.net.

My results:
4.86Mb/s down
4.65Mb/s up
11ms ping

His results:
19.47Mb/s down
0.48Mb/s up
10ms ping

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

Speedtest depends on the server you choose. Some shouldn't be servers at all as they can't match capacity on their end.

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

I always use the Calgary server hosted by Platinum Communications.

Re: Shaw Extreme high speed

Can you run the speed test that i provided? the only reason being that then everyone has the same server and routing etc and the measurements are comparable!
