| Shaw is doubling your internet speed by 2 for free.
As of today if you are using Shaw 150. You are now getting 300. And if you are on the 300 plan you now get 600. Uplug your modem and the update should take effect. However I still haven't got mine yet.

Will be interesting to how the speeds are.
Does anyone know if this is only for residential? Or does it affect business interest as well. I looked online and couldn't find a reference.

Before resetting my modem, and after resetting my modem: *edit* I should add I was on 150.

imo upload isnt really that critical for the most part anyways unless your doing specific things that require upload speeds

I just upgraded from 150 -> 300 last Friday.
I didn't feel huge difference either.
Well, I don't have the lastest tech...etc.
Laptops/iProducts are couple years old.
Just chatted with Shaw Online.
Most if not all my devices are max at 400Mbps

99% of the population doesn’t need more than 100, especially on fiber

Ehhhh..YouTube alone can eat 18-24
The problem is when you have a house full of kids and devices that are constantly connected, whether they are being used or not

imo upload isnt really that critical for the most part anyways unless your doing specific things that require upload speeds | pushing 600 through coax is not impressive at all. go look up docsis 3.1 technology, the world doesnt just revolve fiber technology only u know. with docsis 3.1 deployment, the coax cable can still be used in many years to come.

Interesting, thanks for the info watched a few videos on it.
I’d say going forward the bottle neck will then be in bad/old coax and bad connectors. However, easy enough to fix though
