    Default Shaw Fibre+ Gig

    Anyone else get emailed about upgrading to Fibre+? Is this new? Didn't know Shaw offered fibre at all, anyone here on it already?

    They don’t have fibre, hence this:

    That being said it’s just their newest top tier service. Nothing new behind it though.

    The business gigabit Fibre+ service launched too. Uploads to 125mbps if you need the upstream compared to 35mbps on the home service.

    The cost jump is insane compared to not only Telus, but their own Gig home service. I literally just received this email minutes after seeing the thread.

    home consumer still limited to 20Mbps upload.. I know for most consumer it doesn't matter.
    I can barely saturate 300Mbps download but more upload speed would be nice.

    It's weird, even working fully in the cloud, my upstream at peak usage sits at around 12, 4mbps of that is from the 8 cameras in the house to the cloud.

    My connection on Shaw was very very rarely the bottleneck I agree.

    Only reason I went with Telus is with their Black Friday deal it was wayyyyy cheaper.

    I got the email today. What a crock. Shaw DOES have fibre in some places, we have it at work, 400/400 but this offer of 1Gig down 25 meg up, is a joke.

    I would expect that Shaw would have a fibre presence in many commercial sites but what about residential? Does Shaw have fibre entrances into any condo towers right into the individual suites? Are they doing fibre into SFH's in new communities or are they sticking with coax entrances? And what of TELUS in new communities - are they even doing copper entrances anymore or is it strictly fiber or is it a mix? I'll have to start paying more attention I guess.

    Shaw had fiberlink, which got bought out by group telecom, which got bought by Bell. We’re still connected on the original fiberlink now bell circuit at work. After they sold Shaw started big pipe to compete. That’s their fiber presence and is sold under Shaw enterprise. Their business offerings are purely through coax.

    The only “community” where Shaw has ftth is a few houses in discovery ridge. I believe the story is that to test ftth they chose a few execs there. It’s by no means available to the public. So it’s safe to say that Shaw has absolutely zero fiber presence for residential and business services.

    I’m told years ago by a pretty senior Shaw exec that once Shaw saw the advancements in docsis it made zero sense to pursue ftth.

    I wish I had some inside info on Telus. I just don’t know anyone senior there.

    To this day, out of all my customers I've only had one that qualified or had access to Shaw FTTP (Fiber to the Premise) Fiber for small business: Shaw FTTP (Fiber to the Premise) Business Install

    I think this was around 10 months after their purchase of Enmax's fiber network.

    -Industrial area off 52nd
    -Small biz coax speed plans (and pricing) on FTTP
    -Latency was non-existent

    Unicorn! What’s hilarious is that it’s still technically coax delivered to the client lol.

    Enmax fiber, if my memory serves me correctly there was a certain mayor's wife who was involved in the company that build the fiber networkalong Enmax ROW's that Enmax later bought. Controversial arm's length association that benefited the mayor of that time.

    Yeah for general consumption like that, 15-20Mbps is sufficient.

    I remote into my home devices from office quite a bit, seed torrent, weekly backup to the cloud and use my home network as private VPN (handy when in the US or oversea and want to watch Shaw BlueCurve).
    Can get by with current upload speed but the more the merrier.

    Even our office with Shaw Business 300 and under 400 staff averages 20-40Mbps upload during business hours. It's the cloud backups that sucks all the bandwidth after hours.

    Forgot about cloud backups. Yea, my numbers include my QNAP continually synching to the cloud as well. I guess when I first initially ran the sync, that could've used more upstream as it took something like 4 months for 2 TB haha.

    They switched me to this a couple weeks ago and everything seems fine minus IPV6 no longer working correctly since the change over. The settings I was running previously worked just fine with my unifi setup.

    So has anyone managed to get a decent deal out of shaw lately, or is it still "pay what's on the sign"? My 600 2-year plan is almost up.

    First step to getting a good deal from shaw is to verify that you can get Telus FTTH at your address. if yes, then you have bargaining power.
