| | Re: turning off the max box? HD = faster internets? late, but info maybe will do someone else good
you get 2 profiles when you subscribe to max
1 for the set top boxes, and 1 for everything else
let's say you have Max Plus, that gives you 3ish mbps per STB, and 5 mbps for internet
if you had 4 STB and internet you'd have a total of 17 mbps of bandwidth. even if you turn the STB's off, you'll still not get more than 5mpbs for internet
the rumour you're hearing is more along the lines of:
needing 17mpbs for everything, but you've got a bad line or something, and you can't get more than let's say 14mbps total
the QoS settings will give the bandwidth to the STB's before the internet, so you've only got 2mbps for internet
now if you turn off a STB, that frees up 3mpbs, so now you can get the full 5 |
