Hers a comparison between extreme and BB50 for me. I think I'll be making a call to support.

Shaw Champ, if I posted my postal code could you tell me when my area (Edmonton, Strathcona) was being updated?

mmmbiscuits · 2012-01-14, 11:14 AM

I wasn't aware there was going to be an upgrade in these speeds in the near future. That's fantastic! I'm already very happy with my broadband 50 50d/l and 3upload but 5upload is just that much better!

I did the same thing as you in terms of upgrade. I also experienced the exact same problems later that night, with the exact same speeds (the speeds being still the same as my previous high speed internet)

I called up shaw support and they looked into it, and literally all they had to do was flick a switch and boom my speeds were at broadband 50 literally in seconds.

I suggest calling them as it could be something simple as them just "turning it on"

That's what happened to me, I hope your situation is similar to mine. Let us know how your situation goes!

Hope I could help you a bit!

This page on the Shaw website, which I just found the other day, clearly shows the upload speeds as 5 and 10 Mbps for BB50 and BB100, respectively:

I have BB50 in North Vancouver, and currently only get 3 Mbps.

^^^^i live in North Vancouver has well and i only get 3 Mbps upload for BB 50

mr_donk · 2012-01-15, 11:38 AM

Hmm... When your city is set to Calgary, it shows 3/5 Mbps, if you tell it you're in north van, it changes to 5/10. I guess the upgrade just isn't done (or started?) here.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I guess you'll know that they'll have it "turned on" once the analog cable channels have been decommissioned in your area.

I did speed test before and after having my cisco modem bridged and seem to have faster and close to service speeds. Prior to bridging I was getting 25 down and 2.5 up... now

I will check again at night, seems like evening speeds are a bit slower.

my ping is now 15

what does that mean?

tablo · 2012-01-22, 08:28 PM

Hmmm.... didn't notice a bump in upload speed. I'm on Broadband 100, and yesterday my upload speed on uTorrent was 600KB/s. Normally got up to 500KB/s upload.

I was told today by support that the 5 Mbps upload speed for BroadBand 50 never was suppose to be 5 Mbps and that it was an error on their website. I expect to see all the 5Mbps corrected to 3 Mbps in the short term.

Getting close to 5 up with BB 100 since I started the service on Sunday.
