Lake Worth, FL |  West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition
Does anyone know when the transition for the West palm Beach FL. HSI will take place? And will we get the up and down Powerboost at that time? |

Boca Raton, FL | It's been soon for a while.
But with all the bandwidth problems Comcast has been having lately with their Broward and Dade systems, hopefully later because we are doing fine right now. |

Still waiting for any news also...I spoke to Comcast 2 weeks ago and they said "it should be done in March" but no exact dates. I also emailed them...repsonse was "we can not give an ETA at this time".
I still remember speaking to a Adelphia tech that came by the house in Sept. 06 and he told me he had good word we would be fully transtioned by Nov. 2006!! Maybe he meant NOV.2007!!!
So we wait some more. |

| I have a 24.55 ip address and a whois still shows it registered to Adelphia. Plus all my tracerts go out Adelphia's, now Time Warners backbone.
edit: Just found another site that gives more detail on the ip block and the Organization name is Comcast Cable but the Customer name is still Adelphia. The record was updated January 31, 2007. |

Thanks for the news. Honestly, I don't call it a transition until we get the speed increase.

The speeds are the same in PB county as the rest of the Adelphia areas.They never had a 512 upload,Adelphia provisions the caps higher than the advertised speeds,thus the higher test speeds. |

Thanks for the heads-up. No email, nor any official notice has been received here (SW Boca).
It really would be most helpful to be able to try to plan around potential service disruptions, which official notice would allow.
Thanks again!

Yes there were some changes this morning. First, my IP changed to 76.110.112.XXX from 69.167.218.XXX and my signal levels changed slightly. As far as speed tests, well they are all over the board except for the Upload which went from 450kb+ to less than 350kb. The speed test at Adelphia showed the same as usual download but Speedtest.net showed 6600kb/s and Speakeasy showed 11288. All this occurred without cycling my modem or Router, which I will do later today.

Boca is still the same other then high latency.. Adelphia 6/768

That sucks 512 would be nice I am in the Stuart, FL area. Yeah that must be powerboost or it's temporary and yes most Comcast uploads are 384 unless they offer us the higher (select) tiers. The main ones are:
384 kbps / 384 kbps
4000 kbps / 384 kbps
6000 kbps / 384 kbps
8000 kbps / 768 kbps
Seems like down here we won't be seeing any better then 6Mb (which I had) until August-September.. If they don't honor my 768 upload I will actually lose speed because of the transition. Adelphia set our caps higher then advertised speed to try and help everyone achieve at least advertised speed. In most cases people saw much better (see my speed test above). After the transition Comcast will change my tier to 6/384 or maybe the select 6/768.. I won't even achieve those speeds because the cap will be set at advertised speed (lower). This is the reason you're only seeing 350kbps upload (your upload cap is now 384 kbps).
Comcast also has select area services with different speeds:
6000 kbps / 768 kbps
16000 kbps / 1000 kbps
16000 kbps / 2000 kbps
The only up side is even without the presence of FiOS we might be seeing 16/1 or 16/2 around August-September.. If we stick around..  |
