Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50%
Not to be rude or sound mean, but Shaw has very clearly done everything they can do, and even proved that its not on there side.
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. |

| Honestly , if someone would know what that would be I would.
We did these test simultanously , pulling the network cable from his and then putting it into mine and doing speedtests.
Here the PREFERRED server for testing is chigago at speakeasy.
But i've did all port tests with shaw support and still the speedtests are bad while showing no open ports. |

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

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. |

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 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!! |
