|  Why doesnt shaw do this?
I got my shaw internet install today (Very happy BTW, solid 10 megabit connection, and up to 20 megabit with speed boost).
I was talking with the guy who installed my modem, and he said shaw is fully really to provide 100 megabit connections to every house in my city (sault ste marie).
He said the reason they are not has something to do with bell.
What reason could that be? |

Probably because Shaw employees couldn't keep a secret to save their lives. If they had deployed it anywhere, in any way, someone would have leaked it. |

Seems your spouting pessimistic rhetoric too? I never said they didn't have Docsis 3 equipment! They are most likely testing docsis 3 in a test environment... but i am almost 100% positive they are not running docsis 3 on the live network where it would affect most of us if any of us ATM. They may be upgrading equipment and firmware for the switch but most likely not active yet.
Now this next statement is just an educated guess... but it would make sense for them to roll out docsis 3 in Calgary and area first before going anywhere else, incase of any major issues. Seeing as that is where the NOC and staff that programs all the equipment is located... just like the SDP launch. |

*sigh* shaw has docsis 2 now, its not fully utilized though and docsis 3 testing possibly later in november but very restricted. Shaw isnt ready for 100mb to customers homes EITHER for a ton of reasons, it wont be happening anytime soon so dont get your hopes up.
If you want fiber, move to a novus building. |
