Just moved to a new place, a condo near Westminster Hwy and Garden City in Richmond. Opted to get Novus with 50down/10up at 54.00 per month for first twelve months. Then it goes to 63.00 month to month after first 12 months. No contract with a fiber optic connection. Every place I called had about a ten day wait for installation. Novus was at my place in two days and there is no modem, they just modify a jack. So far my uploads are 10mb minimum and my wired downloads are at or near 50. Wireless is about half that.

Shaw's response..."have tried rebooting?" | have the same issues with their PACE box as well
Im really getting tired of Shaws equipment and service and paying over $220 a month for tv and internet but i'm also hesitant to go with Telus because it sounds like it's the same :/

This is why shaw stopped using pace, they suck. If you call in and complain that it does not work you will likely get a motorolla replacement.

I decided to just jump in with both feet and have been very happy with Telus. I ended up buying my equipment and they have been working with very little issues for 4 years.
The only unresolved issue i've had is about once a month a channel i'm watching will start getting an echo with the audio. This can be resolved by switching the channel and then going back to the original.

Also shaw have the Go Shaw wifi/hotspot and Telus doesn't. As long as you are within Shaw's hotspot you can logon to it and use it for free.

The newer PVRs tend to not last very long. Usually about 1 to 1.5years they start acting up. I deal with this PVRs everyday.

When I switched to Telus, I thought I was going to be missing the Go Shaw wifi feature.
But with a lot of people having data plan, it somewhat seems redundant, unless your purpose is to prolong battery life by using wifi instead.
I only have 1GB data per month, and I know for today's standard, that's very little. But I barely crack 500mb.
But then again, I have friends who are trying to keep their usage from going over when they have 5GB.
Not sure what you guys do with your phones, but I don't download porn or watch a lot of YouTube on my phone.

up == the speed at which you'll be uploading content to the internet.
For your particular usage, you'll be worrying about down speeds for the most part. If you're creating content for twitch and streaming (as opposed to watching streams), then you'll need to worry about upload speeds.

as for the router settings. i have no clue. not familiar with routers

ur high speed 25 is the same speed as extreme from way back, 25Mbps down. there shouldnt be a difference in speed, i suspect it has something to do with ur router acting up causing the slow downs and not with actual shaw. easiest way to diagnose the issue is plug something like a laptop or computer straight to the modem bypassing the router and do a speed test. if speedtest comes back at 25mbps then the issue lies within ur router.

shaw go wifi comes in handy when you don't want to go over wifi
but telus internet is better. depends what area you're in though. whether you're close to those boxes. youd be getting suuuuper fast internet.
