speedtest.net glitching?
 
my shaw was feeling little slow so I ran speedtest
I have regular high speed, not the xtreme whatever
speedtest.net is showing that my speed is over 25mbps, not possbile by any service offered from shaw.
High-speed warp offers up to 25mbps, even then, actual speed is usualy no where near what is advertised.
and it sure does not feel like 25mbps

anyone else with shaw, give it a try?

im on highspeed extreme 1 and it says im getting 28.53 mb dl and a lol of a .8mb ul
i have been getting speeds like this since they gave their customers that 50% speed boost
Mine DOES feel as fast as it says it is however as i have had some download in the 3.1-3.3 mbps range

because telus fucked up and none of us can stream anything from the net.

Jonydakiller 08-10-2009 03:28 PM

please google the word " power boost ", and you will see why
high speed maxes out @ 7.5mb and extreme @ 15mb, that's if the server on the other side allows that fast of traffic.

+1. My speed is REALLY fucking spotty with their regular High Speed. Sites like RS and Craigslist load up fine with some slowdown, and Youtube won't load videos at all.

It's good to know that I'm not alone.

dink 08-10-2009 04:24 PM

So why the hell are you with Telus???

A 56k modem should be faster than that!!!

unnamed1 08-10-2009 05:53 PM

its only for streaming videos
everything else is super fast.

said something about their provider and that they havent received any word from them. apparently MANY people in BC have this slow down too.

2damaxmr2 08-10-2009 08:58 PM

ya this sucks.... no youtube, pornhub or youporn :(

MikeyStyle 08-10-2009 09:07 PM

high-speed internet comes included with powerboost as long as you're using a docsis modem as mentioned by jonydakiller

only downside to having powerboost is you can't get a more accurate reading of your speed tests

Xnova 08-10-2009 10:26 PM

yea im with telus too and i cant stream anything =\ and some high bandwidth websites load slow for me too

CorneringArtist 08-10-2009 10:37 PM
