What's wrong with the speedtouch? I thought that was the best one.

I have the 2wire and it's a huge piece of shit. The thing stalls and drops so much. I don't think the hardware is good enough to even perform its routing functions. I had to go into the diagnostic controls with the leaked Telus password and put it into bridge mode (modem only) to use with my D-Link router. So much better.

From my testing, for the 2wire I was only getting about 10.5mbps with WPA on, 11.5-12mbps with no encryption. When I put it into bridge mode with my D-link router, I'm consistently getting 13.5mbps.

Yea those are the 2wires which are all refurbs.

Generally these modems suck at multi tasking.

I recommend using it as a router only and gettin a new VDSL modem

btw each modem is classified a certain speed spec with the two Telus usually provide being xDSL and VDSL. XDSL is rated up to 10mb (if i remember right) and if you want a stable connection with a rate higher than that you will need a VDSL modem which is the "cell pipe" (I cant remember the actually name right now).

I have High Speed Enhanced (V3) and my speed test is..

Should i call in and complain? lol

enhanced V3 is 3mb which is what you are gettin according to that test.

call and you can get upgraded to 6mb for free

Yeh im doing so right now.

Here is Shaw High Speed (1 up from absolute basic internet which is Lite)

That means i have been paying for shitty internet for the past year or two ;(

Yeah it's funny how if the rate goes up, they expect you to pay up immediately, but if there's an upgrade for free available, they don't say a word and just let you find out on your own, and go through the hassle of calling in blah blah blah...it's like that for any cellphone related company we have here, they all suck

wtf!

Speedtouch were supposed to be the best..but there's only 1 port and I'm trying to take advantage of the 2 dynamic IP's advertised by Telus(I used a switch but it wasn't consistent...it would work for a few weeks and be down no matter how reset/powercycle modems & routers)

This SE567 is giving me a huge headache. The speed is good but it won't let my PS3 have NAT 2 (and it disconnects couple times a day for 20sec-1min). For some reason I can't portforward port 80 but I can do others just fine. I read online that the only solution is to go bridge mode...but I dont know if that means i'll lose the 2 dynamic IPs?

Any clue on how I can achieve 2 dynamic IPs with SE567 in bridged mode? I have at least 4 routers that i can add up so that's not a problem.

Mr. Jay, do you know when the VDSL modem will be coming?

i fucking HATE the SE567. it gives me issues with uploading on bt and some other issues. the random disconnects can be fixed somewhere in the router options. i don't remember which one but checking off a box somewhere stopped it from fucking up.

I'm not complaining:neckbeard::wiggle::spin:

I've got telus high speed enhanced too. Here's my result.

I checked my bill but it doesn't say if it's V3 or what, i'm assuming it is. Do I have to say anything special or will they just upgrade me no questions asked?

lolnoob

:)

no upgrade should be free just ask if you can get the 6.0mb rate instead

Telus upgraded a bunch of areas and yes Telus does not auto upgrade their customers you have to call it to get it down.

The VDSL modem is out already just call in and say you modem is buggy and you want a new VDSL modem.

lots like Gatorade is on High Speed Lite which is 1.5mb and the cheapest plan unless he has been on this for awhile than he is one of the few Telus just bleeds for money as this plan back in the day cost a lot compared to the plans now

rofl.

:noob:

Can you tell me what brand/model it is? There's no info on it on the telus website and when i called in last week i asked if the siemens was their latest modem and the lady on the phone said yes..either she is :bullshit: or doesnt know what she's saying

I still rather have shaw extreme

Shaw Extreme

Alcatel Lucent 7130 Cellpipe modem. This modem is only for Optik TV suscribers so dont know if they will give this to you. It has no wireless capability simply a VDSL/ADSL gateway and these were available since Optik TV was advertised

I am on the optik tv 25meg internet.

Install it yourself?

I'm going to test the waters on Optik tv, from my bell service.

Yeah, :p

Thanks for the info Mr. Jay. I called and upgraded today, turns out I was one of those people paying too much for out of date service, oh well it's all good now :)
