if a technician is installing the modem for you, just be sure to let him to know what you want the modem to be set to

Yeah Bridge mode can only be done by shaw remotely. I don't think the onsite tech can do it for you unless you pre-request it from the setup call so they flash it beforehand. It was kinda funny how I got mine into bridge. Instead of sitting on the phone waiting forever I simply opened an online chat with subject: Would like to change my Cisco DPC3825 to bridge mode. 10min. later a rep came on and said she was bringing up my account. All of a sudden my modem rebooted and I thought shit I got disconnected but nope. Low and behold my cisco was now in bridge and assigning an external IP to my dlink.

I had to have it activated and did so over online chat. It was samething, one sec I'll activate that for you....then you've been disconnected trying to reconnect. When they activate the Cisco modem it deactivates the other one so I lost connection no warning or anything.
My DL speed is the same but my UL speed is terrible with the new modem/router.

For me my upload has been really bad about 1/4 of what it was when I run speedtests, my download is the same as extreme. The built in router does have better range then my other router so my connection upstairs is better.

I have an appointment today with the installer today setting up my broadband 50.
Over the phone I have requested them to give me the Cisco modem. They said they can't guarantee though.

They should have a lot of Cisco modems since I recall someone here mentioning they just received their shipment.
My Broadband 50 has always been able to download at close to 50mbps regardless of time or day.

woot! looking forward to 50Mbps speed!!!
Shaw really suck at keeping their existing customers.
They only offer discounts for new customers.
Really would liked to keep my previous plan, $10 for Extreme for a year.

Yeah I'm curious about how you got that retention plan?
Best I did was get a friend to help me switch over to a student plan which is simply Personal TV + shaw extreme 25Mbps for I think ~$50 after taxes
The downside was having to switch back to a docsis 2.0 router and return my Broadband 50 router (Motorola SB6120).
From this thread it seems like they are now using the Cisco router instead of the godawful SMC for BB50. That's something to look forward to when I eventually switch back after the student plan expires.

Just recently they called and offered me broadband 50 and homephone for $30 a year. Essentially $15 per service. I've since cancelled my cable. I think I posted this earlier in this thread.

heres my results for wireless connection, i guess my router is all set up and ready to go
unfortunately, in the process of swaping my modem i knocked over my router and it fell to the ground antenna first, so now one of the antenna screw is very loose, hope this doesnt affect anything, so far all seems good

question, does BB50 get power boost like the extreme/hispeed tiers, or is it straight up 50Mbps?

According to shaw's website. However at 50mbps who cares lol.
What is PowerBoost™?
PowerBoost™ is a five- to 20-second burst of download speed.
We temporarily increase your available bandwidth when you're downloading files.
PowerBoost is available with Shaw Internet's High-Speed and Extreme service plans.
