[AB] Southern Alberta Internet speeds?

Keep booking techs, until they can confirm it is a known issue, then get the incident number they have for it (I forget the term Shaw uses).

Other than that, book techs to arrive as close to the time this is happening as possible, if it happens all the time, that is eaiser...

Yes, I am not employed and looking for IT work. Have passport, will travel.

Haha true enough. I've had about one day in the last week where a speed test reports higher than 20mbps - so unless it's fixed within the next week, the issue should still be present:).

How are the speeds up in Calgary these days?

Starting to get slow in the evenings again, but still acceptable, I usually see ~85 yesterday afternoon was getting 92

I have been told there is an major upgrade in Lethbridge on Dec 6.

Yeah Lethbridge is due for the DNU anytime now...BB100 is still the max here.

My speeds have been perfect though.

reply to molfert
Hopefully this happens... They've been saying this would happen for the last 18 months.

If we have improved speeds after the 6th, i'll be quite thankful however, though I'm not holding my breath at this time.

I dont know but I would kill to get that kind of asymetrical data throughput and awesome ping. Is it going out or going in? I guess thats what happens when you get too good.

Maybe its a filter problem? Maybe you need a booster or attenuator? I seriously think that the shaw network has recently gone down the tubes of late.

What you need is a loop thats easy to pick up , not heavy and overall latency and ping is around 70ms.

What I have here is a slightly used malibu it was owned by the cogento ceo for 9 months and a new set of 24's. Have a good look under the hood. kick the tires.

In calgary I have a 170 gig bermease cloned interceptor " George Michael " owned it...! I dont buy GM any more but still domestic.

If you wait long enough a car out of losangelus or chicago usually starts me and it flys up to 100% capacity in minutes.... In some cases nearly 2 weeks.........................yeah I have no idea I guess you did it to yoruself.

I wonder whats happening at shaw there I am hearing rumours its turnign into slowtown .

Luck you're getting those speeds up in Beaumont.

Unfortunately down here in Lethbridge it's been very frustrating. I can only dream of 21.5 mb/s down:P

Lucky as I said.

with shaw speedtest, direct connect to the modem, through three different OS's (separate connections, power cycling each time also) I'm hitting about 3.94-5.25 mbps or 392.5 KB/s. Though I must say I was pretty excited when I hit 22.5 for one test last nigh, though it didn't last long.

That is, in my opinion, unacceptable for a 100mbps package.

Finally Proper upload speed.

It appears the service is now much better. So the DNU must have occurred, finally. Only one year late.

Hopefully it will remain relatively consistent.
