I have Shaw internet 300, I tried several of their wifi routers and it always was very slow or dropped connections no matter what channel I picked. The Shaw techs would come over and tell me I couldn’t close any interior doors. I switched over to Samsung mesh wifi routers in both my house and shop, I see 325 Mbps regularly. My buddy complained so much Shaw gave him a credit to go and buy his own wireless router. I highly recommend the Samsung mesh routers, I tried orbi too, no comparison.

My 1 yr promo with Novus expires at the end of month.
$50 for Internet 100 and basic TV.
The same package is now $55/mo plus a 1 yr agreement. Without an agreement, this bundle is $85/mo.
Telus can't offer anything similar, though the rep wasn't the most helpful, and basically told methat whatever is on the website is the best they can do, though I would get a $10/mo bundle discount for being a Koodo customer, plus a $500 prepaid VISA, which, over a 2 year period, is essentially a $30/mo discount once combined. Cheapest bundle plans are $105/mo or $130/mo before discounts. Nothx.
Guess I'm sticking with Novus!

Guess I'm sticking with Novus! | Lies. Sometimes if you call again and get a different rep, you get different offers. Some of the surface level reps are plebs and don't have any authority. If you're able to access the "loyalty retention" department (even if you're not an existing customer), you'll at least go to the department with the reps that can bend "rules".

Remember that a lot of older devices including laptops etc may not have gigbit ethernet adapters.
As well, (and i've researched this to some degree and it appears to have SOME truth to it) even if a PC has a gigbit ethernet adapter, your standard mechanical hard drive may not be able to write data fast enough to show the true speeds, the bottle neck occurs in the pinging or writing of data back and forth between your HD and the ethernet adapter.
It sounds like BS, but from a few different searches it appears to have some validity.
Gigbit ethernet for $85 is crazy though

Good deal. Is that on a contract? 1 or 2 year?
I test speeds on new installs, daily. My year old laptop consistently tests 60% of what my phone does, on wifi. The only way to accurately test network speed is wired anyways.
With Telus fibre, you'll find the speeds are consistent, all day. I've seen Shaw 300 at 20, during peak usage times.

I called shaw twice to try and get internet 300 for $50. Failed both time and Telus just happend to have this Promo. So i jumped on it.

Gigbit ethernet for $85 is crazy though | He said he's on wifi, so pretty much guaranteed it's way slower than a Gigabit if it's an internal wifi adapter. Even most modern gaming laptops have 2x2 wireless AC adapters (867 Mbps theoretical peak).

In 3+ years of working at TELUS I’ve only ever seen one router better than the Arris one we provide in terms of wifi strength etc.
That router costs $680 and the woman bought it to get wifi to her garden in the back

how the hell are you guys getting such high wifi speeds. i have optic 150 and i get d/l speeds of like 30. is my house made of lead or my devices so aged i can't reach those speeds b/c they're from a time long lost?
telus sent me a "free" wifi booster, don't think it will help with speeds, just range...

telus sent me a "free" wifi booster, don't think it will help with speeds, just range... | Im not sure what you know about signals/internet etc...i dont know much either. I do know on WiFi. You will never get the speeds you purchased. Now if you plug the moden into the device your using. You "should" get the 150.
Heres an example. I got Gigabit internet.
I live in a 1960's house
On my Samsung s8+ wifi. I get 385 down/300 up
On my 2007 laptop. I get 50 down/??? Up
If you live in coquitlam. People there complain about not being able to get fast speeds with telus. So they goto shaw or other places
I hope your not paying a lot for those speed those.

He's on fibre, so he should be getting speeds as advertised.
What I posted at the top of the page is from my phone, directly in front of the modem. There are many reasons why WiFi signal is slower, hence, testing should be done, wired.

Also check to make sure you're not using TKIP encryption, which is limited to 54.4 Mbps. You should be using AES.
