Ripper Premium join:2002-02-07 West Palm Beach, 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?

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.

Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition

Confirmed today,transition will take place between march 23-26 in the palm beach county area.PowerBoost nor speed changes will not be availible at that time.You will just have your adelphia.net email account moved over to the comcast.net email.If your lucky no one will be using that same name over there.

Yes mine says Comcast also,but we don't have Comcast speeds yet.My 4000/384 will change to 6000/384 with the Comcast transition.

If you live in the palm beach county area your speeds are 4000/512 not 4000/384

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!

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..

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.

I just got around to resetting the modem and router and then ran a few speed tests. I got 9122/368 at Speakeasy, 4547/362 at Adelphia, and on the d/l tests from OOL I got a range of 775-1150 kb/sec. The test from Speedtest.net was troubling because the 246ms latency was about what I got this morning.

I ran a trace using NeoTrace and it looks like hop3 changed to 73.230.131.1 but 4-7 look like old Adelphia IP's with 68.85.230.85, 68.86.165.150, 68.86.165.97, and 68.86.165.106.

I have yet to receive the official notice via email to proceed with the change of email address and reset of the modem.

This has been seen before.

The reverse DNS address of your IP is probably set to MO.

This will change in a couple of days.

Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition

Seeing how Ripper said "Stuart people got the transition", and then Joepwpb who is in West Palm Beach got transitioned, I think they are working this whole thing from North to South. Unless someone in Delray, Boynton or Lantana has been done earlier than today or yesterday I think folks at central and south Palm Beach County still have at least 1-2 more days to go.... And if so I'll probably be the last beause I am about 1500ft North of Broward/PB county line

I just changed my emails. Everything went fine. I did have to choose new names beacuse both were already taken. I had both emails since 1995!

It said it would take up to 24 hours for your Adelphia emails to transfer to your Comcast account. Mine to 30 mins.
Good Luck!

Well, I decided not to wait for the "official" email to change over my email address. Like you I was concerned that my 13 year old email name would not be available but it was and yes it went quite smoothly.

For those of you who have not made the switch, here is what the confirmation email looks like:

Confirmation – Emails Transferred to Comcast on March 28, 2007
Your new Comcast email accounts are ready. Please be aware that it may take up to 24 hours for all of your existing email messages and contacts to fully transfer to your new Comcast account.

Use the user name(s) below with your existing password(s) to check your emails and access www.comcast.net. You can access My Account on comcast.net to change your password, create new accounts and set any preferences for your new Comcast service.

Also, the POP3 settings are:

Incoming Mail (POP3) mail.comcast.net
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) smtp.comcast.net

The email change-over appears to have gone smoothly here in S-SW-Boca Raton too, though like fastracer

, some very long-term account addresses had to be modified a bit.

Speed tests are next, once the email clients and firewall rules are all properly reset.

Hope all goes smoothly for everyone!

What I mean is, if PowerBoost has been rolled out it should be allover in an area, shouldn't it?

I dont think powerboost is controlled at the config file or modem level.

I could be wrong, But I am not normally

FWIW:

The speed test I just ran finally showed my correct location as WPB rather than Kansas City, MO.

Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition

That is just PowerBoost.. My issue is with my reported latency, powerboost peak speed, and Comcast phone representatives. My latency has been horrible ever since the transition and I hope it gets better with time. As for my peak speeds I see users in the area on the 8Mb tier seeing much higher peaks. My concerns are how I went from the top 99% of download speeds with Adelphia to mid/average with Comcast. Then there's the people at the call centers which I'd rather not get into. All I'll say is that I also hope they get better with time.

Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transition

The main difference between Adelphia and Comcast speeds is the caps.Adelphia had the caps way above the advertised speeds on down and upload,so you always would get above the advertised speeds on tests.On the other hand Comcast only has caps above advertised on download,so your upload speeds are always going to be lower than the advertised upload(without PowerBoost).Adelphia 384/4000=caps 463/4823, Comcast 384/6000= 384/6600.

My Speedtest Results

Adelphia 445/4600
Comcast 360/6300(without PowerBoost)
