Speeds
Well i Got the Internet 150, ive had it for a week now and have Yet to be able the 75Mbps down limit as of yet , I speed test from different locations allover, ill run anywhere up to 10 speed tests a day or night (anywhere between 2-4 am) I get the full 30Mbps up but my downloads are not even half for what I am suppose to have, Here is another Kicker, my Qptic TV now buffers aprox 4-6 times an hour any time we are watching the TV this does not seem right. I just thought I would ask befor I call Tech Support...
Thanks
Tim

Go into your router menu and then to Status. Under Line 1 and Line 2 check the bottom of the table to determine the quality of your copper lines if that is what you are using. Here is an example of one line. I have 75 service, and it looks like the lines could support 100, but not 150.
- I’m on Purefibre Internet 150. On cat5e I get about 160 up and down. On Wi-Fi, 6 feet away from the Actiontec I get about 130 down and 120 up. Going around the corner about 6’ away into my kitchen I get between 85-120 for both. Most of the time it’s averaging around 90. Speeds are tested on the Shaw Speedtest website. On Speedtest.net, it’s way way slower. I might try a set of Telus boosters to see if it improves things. But, wired on the 1st booster is kind of dumb.
Speaking of boosters, do I have to turn the wifi off on the Actiontec or can I leave it running? My Optik TV PVR and VIP5602WT is hooked up via coax cable.- Can you run speed tests on fast.com

Are you on copper? It sounds like one of the lines is not working properly. Call Tech Services so they can troubleshoot.
