Anyone been having these issues? I have BB50 but my D/L speeds are at like 1.50mbps. It seems like it's an issue with Shaw right now from what I have read in their community pages..

here's 1 https://community.shaw.ca/thread/3746

anyone else?

I'm on BB100 and everything is fine, maybe it's just an issue with BB50 at the moment

never have a problem with my bb50 but u live no where near me ken

the modems are updating new firmware this week, should be completed by now though.

also it doesnt matter if you're on bb50 and your neighbor is on 100. if there is an issue in the area both will be affected.. unless the issue is specific to address/modem

try changing channels on modem and ports or call tech line

Ok, I reset the router and it appears to be back to normal.

So if you guys have this issue, thats the workaround...

now let's see how long this will last lol

^that is always the workaround. powercycle modem and router

Router probably got overloaded. A quick reboot is always the first thing to try :)
