Do they need to upgrade from your old modem to a new one before the free month of 100mbps internet starts?


I just checked my Local Area Connection speed is 100mbs but I don't recall getting a call from them...

Is that the latest modem from Shaw?

I'm on the old modem right now, will I notice any speed gains?

Found out the problem, my router was holding it back, it can handle about 30mbps, so if you want this kind of speed, you need to connect directly to the internet, or buy a router that can handle the speed...


As for the new modem, they needed to upgrade it cause, I believe, the old modem can only handle like 30mbps...

you need to have the docsis 3 modem before you can take full advantage of the nitro service

which old modem are you talking about?

if you're using terayon and switch to motorola, then yes, you will notice an increase in speeds

currently, there's no method to use the docsis 3 modem on anything other than the nitro service
