Broadband 50=50Mbps
So about x6.7 times faster?

paid $5 to upgrade from the reg hi speed (7Mbps) to BB50. current promo for 6 months.
fucking awesome, relatively speaking. downoad 1.5GB in 25 min. consistantly over 40 Mbps.
with high speed i kept getting throttled.

My Broadband 50 is definitely faster than the xTreme I had before but still isn't as fast as advertised. I have done 4 speedtest.net tests at different times of day and different days, and the highest I have seen was 31mbps down, the lowest was 12mbps down and two were in the upper 20s. Upload seems a bit more consistent at 2.5 to 3.1mbps. Ping is good at sub 20ms all the time.

Just had mine setup today, with the new cisco modem. What's weird is that the wireless connection works fine but the wired connection doesn't. Called the shaw rep and he says that is normal and if I wanted to run both at the same time I will need a separate router.
Anyone know the reasoning for this? I thought the wifi modem was suppose to be able to do both at the same time.

Yes. That's a buncha crap. The cisco is a wireless/wired router with built in modem. There's no reason why one function would work and not the other.

Don't forget about their referral program. get credits for you AND the refer-ee https://shaw.ca/Secure/Refer-A-Friend/ | one thing to note is how often you're maxing out your connection and the types of websites/traffic you use. when more file hosts were active, i could easily max out the connection on my bb50 plan, and even thought about trying the 100/250. but now there is rarely content that I want hosted from a location where I can max out my connection. if you're using usenet and constantly getting 7 megabytes/sec+ then ok, I see the appeal.
