QuantumBunk Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 This sucks. It is hot all the time and emits a fan noise. So its obviously using more power. I had a trusty old Hiltron modem since 2015. It is silent, cool, and I hardly ever had speed or any issues with it. But I moved. So with the move, Shaw says its time to ditch that old thing and get the new latest and greatest modem. It is called Ignite. I don't want a noisy modem. Anyone else have this ? How is this progress ? I want to return this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenspear Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I've had mine for almost 4 years now, and no problems... possibly a hardware defect? I'd give shaw a call and see if you can swap it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthecivil Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 That's the old shaw blue curve or whatever it's called. It's hot that's for sure. But you can move it whevever. I just switched my shaw phone to Rogers. It's fine except google doesn't work!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuantumBunk Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 I dont like being that guy but i just don't like this thing Gonna phone them and ask what else I can get instead. My trusty old Hiltron was silent and never got hot. Worked from 2015 till 2 weeks ago. I am afraid of putting papers near this thing. My new house has a Telus modem in it. Maybe I'll switch but Telus is always just more expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 My modem is old and from shaw. It's like 15 years old but my speeds are faster then supposed to be why I never upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6of1_halfdozenofother Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 A hot and bothered modem? Wish I could help, but I don't have the same model of modem, even though I'm on fibre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Noisy and hot? Sounds like my wife after 4 Vodka Mios Try this, give it two cheeseburgers without pickles, a small fries from McDonalds a glass of water and an advil. After that it's all up to you but I'd stretch first 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
