Re: I get better download speeds on extreme than warp Most Cable ISP's don't offer the power boost with their highest product when it starts to get into the 20Mb+ range as the practical speed limitations on DOCSIS 2.0 start to show up.
When they launch DOCSIS 3.0 you will see the speeds increase. I don't know if DOCSIS 3.0 is yet able to use power boost though.
DOCSIS 3 is getting limited launch in the states. Japan seems ahead in that respect.
You will require a new modem for DOCSIS 3. as well. Motorola 6xxxx and Cisco / Scientific Atlanta are the two I am aware of.
Some companies are offering product of 50Mb and higher (Japan again). Watch for the term "Wideband" as opposed to "Broadband". Wideband = DOCSIS 3.0
Oh yeah, did I mention it will be expensive?
Did I ever tell you about the time I got my first 14.4 modem? |

Shaw has already started their DOCSIS 3.0 rollout. Saskatoon can get the new 100/5 service. I spoke to one of the techs in town and they are almost ready to roll the service out in Red Deer too.
