Does anyone know If there is a newer modem than the surfboard SB5101?

Currently I'm using that modem with a Dlink DIR-655
Posted via RS Mobile

There are different modems. The SB5101 is a "Docsis 2" modem.
There is a faster "Docsis 3.0" modem, which Shaw gives out for for Warp and Nitro. The difference is the speed capability of the modem.

Even with Extreme internet the bottleneck is set by Shaw, not the SB5101.

More info for cable modem standards:

Bought this from Best Buy about a week ago for $50. If I'm not mistaken, FutureShop and NCIX is still selling this for that price until now. Lag-free Halo Reach/Tekken 6/Super Street Fighter IV/Modern Warfare 2 all the way ever since I made this purchase (mostly because of my brand new Shaw upgrade as well). Highly recommended. Initial installation was a breeze, to say the least! If you guys are looking to upgrade your routers, this is the way to go.

i bought a similar one on 2010 boxing day...

for like 50$... wireless N FTW :fullofwin:

Shaw Extreme speed internet now 25mbps up, 2.5mbps down!

source: http://shaw.ca/Internet

striderblade 04-20-2011 03:01 PM

^ wut? i think you mean 25mbps down and 2.5mbs up and 100GB per month. I thought it was more than 100GB before.

JesseBlue 04-20-2011 03:49 PM

hehe..can't even read what he posted...

catch is...for 6 months...

BlackV62K2 04-20-2011 06:04 PM

My speed hasnt changed from what Extreme was advertised as before. I think it was 15Mbps down and 1Mbps up.

EDIT: Nevermind, reset the cable modem and it should have the new speeds.

saiko 04-20-2011 07:49 PM

whoops! got too excited. Catch isn't 6 months. That's the pricing.

shaw xtreme is now 25 mbs DL and 2.5 mbs UL
this is effective TODAY for all new shaw customers.

if you have xtreme already it may take up to 30 days for the change. this is because shaw needs to manually do something in the equipment inventory screen for all modems. what you can do is call shaw and they can do it manually for you over the phone. otherwise theres some poor sucker sitting there doing it for each and every account LOL



edit: thats the length of the promotion ($29.95 @ 6 months)

saiko 04-20-2011 09:10 PM

call in and ask a TSR to "provision" your modem for you. Hold times are reasonable atm.

LOL! finally shaw upgraded their shaw extreme...too bad i already left shaw and im using telus optik highspeed turbo which is also 25mbps dl and 2mbps upload speed.. looks like the upload speed on the shaw's extreme internet is .5mbps more than telus optik highspeed turbo... Also the Data transfer limit on the shaw extreme is still capped at 100gig per month? thats too low especially when the usage internet billing happens.. Good thing for telus optik highspeed my max usage is at 250gig and hoping that telus wont be doing charging for over usage...
