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

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

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?
