I was on extreme this morning...then i switched to BB 100

When i was on extreme, I never had that terrible speed of yours.....
Mine was consistent at 20~23mbps as i remember.

I think its ur area...Some area has really really terrible speed....Especially in the apartment.

StylinRed 07-07-2011 09:33 PM

Yeah Extreme/internet in general, was really slow in the Early AM / today

Jesus... I don't know if its just me but holy fuck, ever since I reformatted my computer my rates dropped from like 2.3mb down to 30kb... or is it just Shaw?
I formatted my computer like 6 times in one day and been searching around.

Hmm thinking of switching to the 100 bundle. So my dlink 655 router will not work with that plan and i'm force to use that shitty smc router they provide?

turbomelon 07-08-2011 07:09 AM

their shitty smc router probably wont be able to handle heavy loads either. It's slow, and prone to freezing up/restarting. What I did was just turn off the wifi and routing capabilities of the smc modem/router by calling shaw. I tried to change the settings myself but everytime it restarted it'd just wipe my changes.

As for router, I'm sure a cisco unit or custom built router would be ideal. So far I've had 5 days of heavy downloading between 10-11 megabytes a second (80-88mbps) without a hitch.
