Shaw upload speeds increasing?
Hey guys n gals... A couple of months agone, I was getting a new modem for Shaw in Vancouver. I was chatting with a rep proverb I wish the upload speed were faster. He said in a hushed tone.. There's something happening shortly. Does anyone know if there are some sort of synchronous, or at to the lowest degree faster upload speeds coming? I know most peeps are more than interested in DLs, but I do a fair bit of ULing.
Thanks all!!!

Probably not.
Fifty-fifty if there was, a Shaw rep would non be able to confirm it here (or even over the phone) unless they wanted to adventure getting fired. They too wouldn't have information months in advance every bit a client service or tech support rep (such info would come from higher up and confidentiality would exist fifty-fifty more important.

I haven't seen any bear witness of that, aside from occasional quirks. When I had 150 mbps download, my 15 mbps upload was actually xx mbps. When Shaw upgraded my download to 300 mbps, the upload actually went downward to fifteen mbps. I oasis't seen whatsoever comeback since, and I don't come across any now.

There is rumor of a faster upload speed coming, but that is generally it for now

Could be downloads increasing. New router/modems shown at CES this yr were ii.5 - 10 Gbps! Probably non coming to my surface area for a long time simply those speeds would be incredible...

That'due south awesome if they bothered to rollout fibre where you live. I gave upwardly waiting for them to get around to it and moved dorsum to Shaw last summer. It likewise bugged me how Telus would only lucifer shaw's offer to me, and they could merely sell me 1/third the speed. While I realized overcrowded nodes can exist a thing, I oasis't experienced it with Shaw in well over a decade. My speeds are a pretty consistent 330/16 with Shaw.

I was eagerly awaiting Telus fibre in the first few years they started deploying it around here, but it took ii years to reach my street. Past then the early dandy offers had disappeared, and Telus simply had apathetic two-twelvemonth deals to offer. I let them install the fibre to the house demarc, just I only didn't hear whatever offers to compete with Shaw. And to piss me off, Telus left a huge coil of fibre hanging off a post correct in front of my house.

Just wondering where you are? Someplace with no telco wires strung out on poles? Fifty-fifty deepest, darkest Metchosin has FTTH.
While I realized overcrowded nodes can be a matter, I oasis't experienced it with Shaw in well over a decade. My speeds are a pretty consequent 330/16 with Shaw.
Maybe all the heavy users have abased Shaw. Was with Shaw for a couple of month and it had overcrowded nodes (or at least throlttling). FWIW, FTTH has been rock-solid here. Local Shaw users take been experiencing outages for weeks.

Technically, that's because FO can't exist only spliced similar electronic signals.

Yes, it tin can. And their stated reason for leaving the fibre ringlet at that place was so it's easier to lower the cable down to basis level to allow them work on it more comfortably.

Of class there'due south telco wires, just they're withal copper. I'm in Saanich. Nearly of Saanich/Victoria are still on copper. Telus hasn't upgraded many densely populated areas notwithstanding. In many areas they rolled out to smaller places first.

Know someone who worked for TELUS (still does, an independent contractor) and designed the stuff (layout anyway). Not sure fifty-fifty he is getting FTTH to mid/south Saanich (Cadboro Bay). Looks like I tin can become gigabit simply don't demand it.
FWIW, Telus ran FO through some older, denser (and, FWIW, lower-income) neighbourhoods in Kelowna and much less dumbo outlying areas a couple or more than of years ago. Decided to pull out all copper wire last year so everyone who has landline Telus telephone service (allow alone net/TV) is getting FTTH whether they want it or not. I know my B-i-L has that and were the contact.
Perhaps dense Victoria is harder to restring with FO.

I don't recall information technology'south hard to restring. I get the feeling its hard to get approvals in denser areas. More condo/apartment buildings to negotiate with, more governments etc... The starting with small-scale places and leaving bigger places for the end seems similar a good rule of thumb, only there are more notable exceptions. Maybe they're merely going path of least resistance.
Still.. every bit a business standpoint, it seems wierd. To leave some of the more dense populated areas of BC/Alberta for final, they're basically saying, go to Shaw. I suppose I sympathise they tin can't roll it out everywhere at the same time. It was the Telus guy trying to sell me on Telus DSL is ameliorate because information technology's more reliable, even though it was 1/tertiary of the speed that Shaw tin can sell me (technically 1/6th because shaw can sell me 600mbps, I only chose 300mbps for the cost). I know Shaw tin have crowded node bug, but they seem less and less mutual as the years pass on. I remember it being a abiding issue in the early 2000's, but I oasis't run into it once again on the 3 stints I've had with shaw until so. To have the guy slagging on Shaw when it'south more often than not unwarranted in attempt to sell me a product 1/tertiary as good for the same cost.. ugh,.

The accented concluding thing I demand is more download when the upload ratio is equally much of a joke equally it nevertheless is.
600/30 is 20:1. My 100/5 is too xx:ane.
Even if Gigabit or ii were a thing, the best I tin can probably hope for is 100mbps upload on a 2000mbps line which is nevertheless a joke.
Do yous not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet
Nope. That's why I'chiliad on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to exercise I'd probably exist doing it.

They did announce a 1Gb plan with a paltry 25Mbps upload for consumers, only if they offered a business plan with 135Mbps upload I'd probably switch. Still no Telus fibre in my community, then Shaw gets my business concern for now despite wanting more than upload bandwidth.
Edit - at $180/month, I'll pass! I get business plans are more expensive than consumer ones, simply I definitely can't justify that much only to get college uploads.

Yea it's a encarmine scam with Telco's. They know they can support much college UL to consumers at abode, only they just don't desire to. It'southward either to prevent SEEDING or some other affair. It's crazy how in these times the file sizes are getting much bigger with people wanting to upload 4K content and such x-fifteen-20 MBPS for upload isn't cutting it anymore. If they tin offer 135Mbps upload to business, you know they are holding back. Even though the UL stream has less channels I bet they tin push it much further.
I take a buddy in the U.s. that changed his residential package. DOCSIS 3.1 cable, they are offering him 1Gbps / 75 Mbps. The nearly expensive package in the area, but he tin crank out 75 mbps upload. He uses it for UL 4K content and information technology's much faster for him since fiber isn't available in his expanse. Robbers caps out everyone at 30Mbps, bs.
