Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

They just bumped up the downstream by 2Mb.

So that, I believe, puts it at around 6Mb down. Still only 384Kb up though.

what the frack...mine is still at 4Mb down 384up...what the frack I say!!!!

I got an email saying that they increased the speed by 2Mb and that it was a free upgrade. The email said to unplug the cable modem for a bit, then plug it back in. What kind of modem do you have? I've got one of those Terayon (sp?) ones. It seems to be faster. I haven't actually confirmed it though. (too lazy) What do you use for speed tests? I suppose I could use Newsbin and see what transfer rates I get...

Ah the Terayon, TJ family of cable modems... nice. It's no Motorola, but not too bad of a modem none the less.

To reset a modems config file, unplug the modem for 3 minutes, then plug it back in. You should be gravy.

I unplugged mine for about a minute. Perhaps I should do it again just in case. I haven't really checked to see if it made any difference.

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Wed Oct 12, 2005 2:19 pm

Well it should be fine, they should have sent a message to the modem to tell it it needs a new config file, to get the increase. We had a few modems that didnt get the message when we boosted the speed, and needed to be manually reset.

Do a speed test, and reset for 3m if youre not getting the full blast.

Ok got weird results...Used the usual Speakeasy speed test: (java req.)

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/

I got from 3.6Mb to 8.0mb with most of the tests I tried being in the 5.3Mb-5.8Mb range...

I use the Newsbin test.

I get around 7Mb down.

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 4:36 pm

I miss Road Runner... that Cox looks mighty impressive though.

Bill Drayton Jr. · Post by **Bill Drayton Jr.** » Thu Apr 06, 2006 12:59 pm

I'm consistently getting 11kbps down...I recently had a problem with connectivity and bugged comcast and ever since then me and my microscopic ambit have been quite comcastic...

More magic...w00t...

McNevin · Post by **McNevin** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 7:59 am

Comcast? or Cox? Well whatever it is its a damn nice speed!

p.s. I found out having the cable telephone increases your upstream to 1024, i rather like that!
