I have Broadband 100. Works great, especially when the download source has high capacity or supports multiple connections. Consistently can download at 11.8MB/sec which is about 100mbps - as advertised. Can barely pull 60mbps off speedtest.net or shaw.ca/speedtest
any alternatives?

the technician will give you whatever modem is given to him at the warehouse.. he doesn't have a choice unless they give him both models and he can give you what you ask for


is there a particular reason why you've chosen the seattle server?

are you using any splitters or does the modem connect directly into the cable outlet?
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

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

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.

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

Shaw outage in Langley, Aldergrove due to cut cable
Laura Baziuk | Email news tips to laura.baziuk@corusent.com
10/23/2011

Shaw twitter's account is now saying crews will have to work into the night to repair a problem affecting TV and internet service in Langley and Aldergrove.

The problem is due to vandals cutting a fibre cable.

Several residents are complaining they haven't had service for most the day, and are having to wait hour to get through to Shaw’s information line.

I live in the newton area of surrey though. That's pretty far from where I live.
Posted via RS Mobile

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?
