spectrum posted : I phoned Shaw again, they definitely still don't have BB250 in my area, and have no plans/ETA on when/if it might become available.

They also said my area had only completed 1 of the 3 upgrades needed.

Easist way to tell, is if you have full cable (tiers 1, 2, or 3) connect a TV to analog cable, and see if you can get the tiers channels. If you don't have Tiers 1, 2, or 3 you shouldn't be able to see the channels in analog either though.

This isn't quite right as there are a lot of steps to DNU. First the analogue Tier 1,2,3 channels have to be removed (they are already being sent in digital as well). Then if the CMTS equipment is ready, within a short period of time some of the channels can be re-purposed for additional internet tiers.

kevinds posted : Yes, spectrum for analog can be used for any/all digital services, digital channels, internet.

1 analog station equates to about 38 mbps internet.

yyzlhr posted : No idea, what DNU is but I'm assuming it means they're transitioning the analogue channels to digital only? Does that actually allow for faster internet speeds? I thought the spectrum used for analogue channels can't be used for DOCSIS?

spectrum posted : FM disappeared for me roughly around the same time (within a week or two), I just assumed it was due to the DNU, i guess that might not be the case though.

It is pretty easy to tell if DNU is done in your area. Go to Shaw.ca and see what internet packages are available for your area....

The DNU *has* happened in my area (analog gone, which is kinda a bummer because we used it for FM), but I don't have access to updated tiers.

No idea why that is, but there you have it.

kevinds posted : No, that isn't accurate either...

250 mbps is available in Strathmore, but DNU hasn't happened there yet either (or hadn't happened yet when I was there but 250 was available).

Easist way to tell, is if you have full cable (tiers 1, 2, or 3) connect a TV to analog cable, and see if you can get the tiers channels. If you don't have Tiers 1, 2, or 3 you shouldn't be able to see the channels in analog either though.

spectrum posted : The DNU has been completed in my area since last Sept, yet still no word on the phase 2 updates (i.e. higher internet speeds.)

Last I heard (from a Shaw rep) the holdup is attributed to the fire they had at the Calgary Shaw office and have no ETA.

I'm considering switching to Telus because I'm really looking for a faster upload, and their 50/10Mbit package is available in my area.
