One problem is also the area you are in Shaw wont find it feasible to have fiber to the door so the farther away you are from a trunk the worse service you will have.

Thanks for this. I had Internet 50 which was flawless service wise for 3-4 years using the old Cisco modem.
When the Internet 150 came out I went and got a Hiltron from the Shaw store and swapped it out myself. Right off the hop I was getting 150+ speeds on wifi and wired. Then over the last month I get slow down on wifi, can never seem to get more than 25 down but always 16+ up. Wired I seem to always hit 150 although I rarely speed test that type of connection.
Should be interesting to see the cause as maybe what you wrote in the last part of your post is happening. I haven't changed my cable setup from my power box where it is split in years, so maybe I am at the outer edge of what is supported.
I know Telus ran fiber a year or so ago, and I can get 150 through them. So we'll see what Shaw comes back with next week.
