| 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

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.

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

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
