Re: Shaw Unlimited 100 I've seen pricing for 1000/1000 from a few of the big companies... They are all fairly close in pricing.

There's no logic with your statement. Chattanooga is smaller then Shaw's, so less clients or revenue with high overhead implementing the network. If anything Shaw's Rate per customer on any tier should be a lot lower. |

ahh ic, your speaking novus, which your comment now makes sense to a point, Novus should also be dropping their price per tier. |
|
2 edits | 300/15 is $103 but not symmetrical...
While Shaw competes with Novus, the size Novus is (footprint and number of customers), I don't think Shaw sees them as much of a threat.
And the same could be said for Google Fiber internet. |

| I just got BB100, was told by shaw tech i can only go around 65mbps on my own dual band wireless, i hit around 100mbps on wired. i didnt get their wifi because usually shaw's routers are crap. Can you guys get higher speed using shaw's wifi modem, or am i sol? |

| reply to tired
any chance of Broadband 100 unlimited coming down in price to something affordable? |

What type of wireless are you using? ABGN? or ABG?
Shaw's is N in the 2.4 GHz range, with a maximum physical connection at 300mbps, the actual throughput will be much lower, as with all wireless connections.

I am doing 1.7 to 3TB per month since March on residential BB250. Never even been called once...
I would just use a lower tier and see if they bug you TBH while saving money... |

im using dlink d655 mixed GN,hmm maybe i should switch to shaw's wifi modem? |
|
| i just traded in my modem only for the cisco 3825. the wireless range cover sucks on this modem, as usual.Any advance settings I should change to get better signal coverage speed? I did a speed test, didnt fair mcuh better on wireless speedtest, around 60mpbs max? How much is everyone averaging on wireless speedtest? |
|
| said by borntukill:How much is everyone averaging on wireless speedtest?
Using my own wireless AP (Apple Airport Express), I get the same speed as I would wired (roughly 95-98Mbps), with a little more latency. |

| reply to tired
With wan speeds of 100mbps+ i'm not sure why people want that via wireless, boggles my mind!
IMO wirless is convienent not reliable, go wired!! |

Has anyone else noticed that they changed the upload speeds recently as well?
Before this last update, so I suspect sometime between July and September, they posted the upload rate as 10mbit for the 100mbit plans. As of today, they show 5mbit again.
I also called them within 2 days after their price bump to $190 for unlimited and they would not honor the old $130 price for unlimited, and said that all existing unlimited users would be bumped up to the new $190 price. Can anyone confirm this? I definitely would have gone to the unlimited plan at that time. |

unlimited is a bad choice to offer consumers in general because without accountability, people will just allow torrents to upload at 100% speed 24/7 effectively permanently cutting off a portion of the networks bandwidth. |

You forgot to mention the strictly enforced $0.50/GB overage charges, with low caps. Sorry, I'm in a building that has Novus and I would never get it -- not with those kind of overage fees.

The more I C, the less I see. |

| With Novus, the caps are seperate up and down, I didn't see them as too low.
If I could, I would choose Novus internet.
