any alternatives?

nope it just auto picked seattle server i tried vancouver it's actually a little bit higher ping lol. and no i'm not using splitters and yes it's directly. i used to work there so i know what i'm doing. and no u can make a special request on the sc with a sup authorization.

if you used to work there before, then you should know how all this process works

it doesn't matter if you speak to a supervisor or not. if that's all the warehouse has, it's what is given out to the customer

you can try the speakeasy speedtest

Any issues with the modem/router? Thinking of upgrading from old extreme plan.

Is the Cisco wifi modem from Shaw?

yes it was... I called them and got them to disable the wifi part of the router and basically just use it as a modem. After that was done I hooked up my old netgear router and BAM everything worked again.

I checked out a few different online places... seems to be a know problem

switched to shaw 25 student plan for 22 a month. when i call telus to cancel they offered the same at 16 dollars a month as their student plan.

WTF?!

But telus fucking sucks. once a torrent is open its GG

Is this Cisco modem the SMC one?

No the cisco one is a different modem.

For you guys with the Cisco modem's, the log in credentials for the modem are written on the modem itself. You can log in and disable the wireless yourself. With that said i believe there is something different that Shaw does when you call in and ask them to put the modem in to bridge mode. In bridge mode your router (not the cisco modem, but your own router) should get the external IP address instead of the private ip address that the cisco modem/router gives out.

Is the cisco modem much better than the SMC ones? Do they still give out SMC?

Sorry to derail a bit. I Just got shaw xtreme as part of the triple-play student plan. What kind of speeds am I supposed to be getting? I used to just have the standard high speed (which I also forgot what I usually get)..

When I got the Broadband 50 they gave me another SMC modem. This one's wifi connectivity is not as good... Probably because there's no antenna :S

nah i make special request all the time and the customer 99% of the time gets what they want even though the warehouse say "we don't have any". just like they used to be giving out the motorola docsis 3 instead of the SMC, even though they have some they won't give it to you unless you bitch and whine long enough and make a hassle out of it even though they don't give that one out anymore. all they tell you is we don't have any.

xtreme is 25mbps

I usually get around 18mpbs using the shaw speed test.

Standard high speed supposedly is 7.5mbps.

This is all on the shaw website

Upgraded to Shaw's Broadband 50. Got the Cisco modem :fuckyea: so epic.

Cisco modems are out of stock for the next 2 weeks.

Edit: just looked through twitter feeds about shaw and apparently the outage is affecting areas of surrey. UGH. Why can't vandals just fuck off and die?
