I'm on Extreme-I for cable and we got a bump to 10/1 today for free. Hurray!

I think the standard users get 7/1 (former Extreme-I speeds) too, but I'm not sure.
 
Rogers here in London gave us Express users a free speed boost to 5/384 from 3/384.

I am considering Extreme.

West to Thunderbay.

Its $43 via renting the modem, but if you buy it its $38.. and on a package deal with tv it works out to more like $28... also the extreme-I is an extra $10 a month so its $48/month CND for 10/1mbit with 100gigs alotted.

I've been raping newsgroups getting 1.2megabytes a second.. it owns.. a gigabyte of data takes 14 minutes! 😀

Well extreme-I was originally 5/1 but several months ago it got upped to 7/1. Just a few months ago we got our monthly bandwidth "restriction" upped to 100 GB. This 10/1 thing is new for all shaw users (check out the dslreports.com forum for shaw).

I have regular Shaw, how do I tell its been bumped, and what do those numbers (7/1) represent?

Pull the power cord on your cable modem and then plug it back in. Then go to speakeasy.net and do one of their speed tests. 7/1 refers to the download/upload speed in megabits per second (Mbit/s or Mbps). Speakeasy will give it to you in kbits so you should be 7000/1000 (more realisitically around 6900/950 or so).

Apparently it is. And yeah the site hasn't been updated, but do a test after rebooting your modem and see.

They're not hard caps. They're 'guidelines' for appropriate use... and for some reason it doesn't count newsgroup downloads 🙂

They count, I've been caught for excessive bandwidth mainly from using Shaw's own news servers.

I had a month where I pulled 212 GB off of my giganews account, and shaw's stats have me at 60 GB for the month...
