Shaw Extreme-I

http://www.speedtest.net/result/594454740.png

Shaw High Speed says its up to 7.5Mb/s and you guys are getting 25-30?? that doesn't seem possible. I have High Speed Extreme (up to 15Mb/s) at my place in Vancouver, I should check out what speeds I actually see.

it's because of powerboost

Btw- today's Vancouver Sun had a huge article from Harvard, talking about countries internet speed vs cost ratio.

We're the worst then mexico and only better then Slovakia. Needless to say South Korea and Japan owns the rest of the world by like 100000X times.

So Shaw is charging around $45 for standalone 30 Mbps service?

I find that somewhat hard to believe...

Correct, Powerboost will give a slight increase in DL performance by a few seconds.

With FF using DownloadThemAll, I get a constant 1.5-2MB /sec if from Microsoft downloads.

"PowerBoost provides bursts of download speed of up to 5 Mbps above the customer’s provisioned download speed for the first 10 MB of a file. It then reverts to your provisioned speed for the remainder of the download."

People are still getting 20-25 then on the High Speed package??

Because the speedtest.net file is less than 10MB, it uses powerboost for the whole thing. So basically, speedtest.net is useless for Shaw users. Plus it's testing on a Shaw server anyway, so of course you are going to get the absolute fastest speed possible.

just a question, for those using shaw, did u guys do the test once and post the results?
or did u guys did multiple tests then post the results?
cause u guys realize if u do it once, its not ur true speed right?

not according to my area. ive had adsl for over 10 years. when it was first out, and there was only 1 package, which was $59.95 a month. back then, my area was just on the edge of adsl area. it still is, but they have improved the equipment.

but ill call anyways.

are you using novus? i love the price for their speeds, lol

Me too, I complained last year and this year about it. Recently they upgraded most infrastructures making most areas capable of their 10-15 Mbit service.
