I suspect while Dec 03 was their release date that it will filter through accounts over the next week or two.

The announcement stated that the configs are live but the PUSH to force them will be staged.. You should be able to reboot your device today and get the speeds.

Tom you where only on 150 correct?

I was clocking 300 down yesterday after power cycling my router too

I'd gladly give up 100Mbps down to get 35Mbps more down. Still, nice to get a big down speed bump.

I am currently on lightspeed and this week I have been trying to get a price match from Telus on Purefibre for the Shaw offers.

The order has been made, I will post my speed results on or after the 14th. Competition is a good thing!

I just independently discovered this for myself on the weekend.

My 12 months of discounted "75" was coming up to expire at $60+GST monthly, so I requested a chat with the "Loyalty Team" and they gave me the "150" for $65+GST ... and a week after that is when The Great Doubling happened.

Strangely, on my laptop I am getting really low speeds right now, like under 20 ... but might be my wireless NIC or something

But on my relatively new Samsung, it was well over 140, and my brother said on his phone right by the [new!] router he was hitting >300.

I was going to post another thread on PureFibre but it looks like Shaw and Telus are going to war, a 750/750 https://www.telus.com/en/deals-and-bundles/internet-750 plan has appeared and apparently theyre is a special 950/750 plan also available ofr PureFibre.

More speed than any normal home user should need right now but who says we are normal.
