Just Glad They increased speed by 50% in Shaw http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22413182 en Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:15:23 EDT Fri, 04 Dec 2009 23:15:23 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22452170 ErikRP : Like I suggested earlier, try downloading a large (75+MB) file and see what your speed is. That's a more accurate, and more useful, indication of your true download speed.

Use a decent site, too. Microsoft is a common favourite, or any site that has large drivers and is used to heavy downloads.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22452170 Wed, 27 May 2009 13:52:11 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22449887 anon : Haw, The fact that your getting 15Mbps to Chicago in the speedtest seems to suggest your connection on most part is fine.

I ran same test from here in Edmonton to the Iron Mountain server you just tested on, and for what ever Reasons that server is dam SLOW(2.59Mbps).

Your may not get maximum speed to many test servers, there are so many factors involved, ones even outside of Shaw's control.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22449887 Wed, 27 May 2009 01:48:04 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22446188 JimmyArms : Why don't you try posting in the Computer/tech forum on soonet and see if other people in your neighbourhood are having the same problem?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22446188 Tue, 26 May 2009 13:47:29 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22445989 anon :

This test was done in safemode direct from pc to modem, as it was suggested to me Safemode is more accurate for testing. Though there isnt a comparable difference in speed.
There is nothing wrong with my equipment and the line is new from the modem to the pole. So cable internet must be really slow on this side of this city.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22445989 Tue, 26 May 2009 13:13:25 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22445656 anon :

Here's my test for comparison. Same city as anonymous user, "haw"
»www.speedtest.net/result/479988860.png
I realize that Shaw's boost effect is creating the wildly unrealistic download speed. Any test site that allows a longer test shows the speed that I should get; about 7.5 Mbps.
The Iron Mountain site is around 200 miles away and is the suggested site for Sault Ste. Marie :)
This site gives a comprehensive report on your connection.

I've been over this with "haw" in his previous posting :(

Well they say all is fixed here , I have never seen more than 4 meg from Iron Mountain or 15 meg from chicago even with Speedboost since. I have never seen speedboost kickin.

The east end sounds great that would be better than WARP here, 66meg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they upgraded me to Warp I still wouldnt get that!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22445656 Tue, 26 May 2009 12:27:43 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22433155 murky : Here's my test for comparison.

Maybe you should be using that test site then instead of the one you keep posting over and over again.

Shhhh. Don't tell him that. I've got a side bet with a few members that he'll post his speeds at least 100 times by the end of the month. :D

Seriously though, some sites are just not reliable for speed testing. How close they are doesn't necessarily mean anything. I get amazing speeds on the U.S. west coast, but not so good in central Canada which is closer.

Bottom line - are you noticing that you are having trouble downloading, or viewing sites? It doesn't matter what some speedtest tells you - it's just one site, and a snapshot in time. Download a file or two and see how that goes.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22421232 Thu, 21 May 2009 08:21:21 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22417933 anon :

You said he was able to get 13000, and now you're saying your neighbourhood is being throttled? I can appreciate you're frustrated, but does that really sound logical?

He got 13000 a few times then left for another call saying he knew very little about computers.A throttle doesnt sound logical but neither does a consistent and fast upload with a slower download. What possibly could cause that?

How did he connect to the internet? I'm guessing he connected directly to the modem. How do you connect - through a router?

We both connect threw the modem , I alway make sure my first computer is connected via a network cable to the modem for testing

I'd suggest checking all of your settings, including (especially) your NICs and any other network settings, especially if you are going through a router?

I've checked all settings and I get these results through the modem.

So you've had this problem for a while now. Have you asked Shaw to drop you down to regular high-speed internet so you're at least not paying for speeds you're not seeing?
Once you are getting the normal speeds for a regular high-speed connection you can ask them to put you back to Extreme

The day the service was first installed the installer said he had seen the same problem in 3 or 4 other homes in my neighbourhood.
I had high but then got a temporary upgrade to extreme hoping it would speed things up, but only the upload speed was noticably higher.

So now I need a wifi spot in sault ste marie I can check my laptop on to see if there is some strange problem.

We did these test simultanously , pulling the network cable from his and then putting it into mine and doing speedtests.

The tech isn't logging into anything different on his laptop, if you saw him plug it into your modem, and he got the speeds, then the modem and everything on Shaw's side is fine. There are no special accounts to log into or anything like that.

Maybe you need to look at the fact that your doing something wrong when reformatting or setting up your computers. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22413311 Tue, 19 May 2009 18:48:37 EDT Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50% http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22413218 anon : Anyone from bell offering a deal, thats my only option.

So then he plugeed in his laptop to the modem and it got 13000 but then testing the same server on mine only got 1100 . retested that over and over and his woulod get better.

I may have something using 500 kb of bandwith but not 12 meg, so his SHAW branded laptop must be logging into a different acount or tricked out in someway.

My other computer I just formatted will not get that speed either.

So he said they could not help.
