| Shaw upgrade internet speed
I have not received an email, but here is the insert from someone else's who posted it:
"We have good news for you. Shaw is committed to bringing you the very best products and services, and that includes the FASTEST Internet at the best value. As a result we are making significant upgrades to our network in your area which will allow us to increase your Shaw High-Speed Xtreme-I Internet download speed by 50%, from 10 Mbps to 15 Mbps! This will not affect your monthly cost for High-Speed Xtreme-I; your bill will remain exactly the same." http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsSer...rnet/Xtreme-I/
Those with 5Mbps will be bumped up to 7.5 Mbps 
I get a whopping 20000+ kb/s.

I'm on high speed and my speed was: 
Those with 5Mbps will be bumped up to 7.5 Mbps | funny thing is I'm only on high speed and I recently swapped my old ass teryon modem for the current motorola one. I was only getting about 5mbps and now im getting 22mbps  . Dunno how this is happening but I'm not phoning in to complain. They didnt change my service or anything  | |

That's good news! I'm on xtreme-I and am still getting around 10 Mbps. I'll be curious to see if my neighborhood gets this upgrade.

I was having connection problems with the Teryon. After replacing it with the Motorola, internet speeds were much faster and stable.

why's everyone's upload rate so low?? What's the advertised upseed for regular and the xterme ? IMO upload speed is important for torrents.
I'm considering switching over to the regular 7.5mbps from the 3.0mbps regular telus...how much are you guys paying a month? On the flyer it only says the rate for like the first few months...

REgular high speed, Up is 500, which is around 45-50kb/s.

there's not that much of an advantage getting faster download numbers except you can download files faster. the only problem is that all the ISP companies have limits so once you downloaded your alloted bandwidth usage, you can't download anymore. kind of defeats the purpose of having a fast connection to download files. Normal internet browsing doesn't benefit from having a faster download speed. YOu can browse on on 1.5mps
