[Crowtservo]

Shaw High Speed says its up to 7.5Mb/s and you guys are getting 25-30?? that doesn't seem possible. I have High Speed Extreme (up to 15Mb/s) at my place in Vancouver, I should check out what speeds I actually see.

[MikeyStyle]

it's because of powerboost (http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/Internet/PowerBoost/)

[Gt-R R34]

Btw- today's Vancouver Sun had a huge article from Harvard, talking about countries internet speed vs cost ratio.

We're the worst then mexico and only better then Slovakia. Needless to say South Korea and Japan owns the rest of the world by like 100000X times.

[SkinnyPupp]

So Shaw is charging around $45 for standalone 30 Mbps service?

I find that somewhat hard to believe...

[way2quik]

Correct, Powerboost will give a slight increase in DL performance by a few seconds.

With FF using DownloadThemAll, I get a constant 1.5-2MB /sec if from Microsoft downloads.

[Crowtservo]

it's because of powerboost (http://www.shaw.ca/en-ca/ProductsServices/Internet/PowerBoost/)

"PowerBoost provides bursts of download speed of up to 5 Mbps above the customer’s provisioned download speed for the first 10 MB of a file. It then reverts to your provisioned speed for the remainder of the download."

People are still getting 20-25 then on the High Speed package??

[SkinnyPupp]

Because the speedtest.net file is less than 10MB, it uses powerboost for the whole thing. So basically, speedtest.net is useless for Shaw users. Plus it's testing on a Shaw server anyway, so of course you are going to get the absolute fastest speed possible.
