| [OOL] Slight bump in speeds? Well I'm out on the North Fork of LI, and we had been without cable for all day this past Wednesday (due to rains) and now that we're finally back on, I've noticed a slight bump of speed with my modem. Unfortunately I only get 1.2MBps using the old OOL ftp speed test, but here's what my DLINK DCM-202 is reporting:
Class ID 1 Max Downstream Rate (bps) 16500000 Max Upstream Rate (bps) 2000000
So does that mean I am now 16.5/2? I was almost positive that before this outage, the downstream was 15000000. | |

The best way to find out what you are provisioned at is to ask the modem by running DOCSDIAG/ This will report what your provisioned up and down speeds are set to. | |

| Re: [OOL] Slight bump in speeds? I don't think the line down my road is the best of quality (underground, installed mid-1980s and not touched since), but the line to the house was just replaced last summer. Seemed download speed dropped to 1.20MB/sec and hasn't moved since.
I was messing with the OOL FTP test and got 1.20 MB/sec, but obviously that's still a little ways under the cap. So, the bump did nothing for me.
FYI, the phone line was layed at the same time, and we have a noticeable hum on it, but Verizon doesn't want to do anything about it...so I would imagine the line quality down the road could be better. | |

| It does indeed look like they have raised the cap on the 15/2 to 16.5/2:
At least that will bring results closer to their advertised rates, provided the connection is solid to begin with. | |

These settings are not automatic but need to be reloaded at handshake time. I am not saying that they are not going to roll out a higher BOOST Speed but only that when/if they do you will not see it without doing a reboot. The only time that I think it will automatic update is when they push new microcode, do a node split or cap you (all of what trigger a automatic reboot and thus a reload of the settings). | |

We'll know when the roll-out is supposedly completed when CV updates the Products Speed Listing on their Web Site, issues a press release, and/or updates the Speed Text page (although it took a long time for them to fix that page to actually show a 5Mbs bar [as opposed to a 2Mbs bar] for BOOST users).
Do not forget that even after your area/node has been speed-bumped that, unless they force a reboot, you will need to manually reboot by downing a power-off/power-on of the modem to get the new speed settings downloaded into the modem. | |

And assuming it's not a mistake that will be corrected when someone notices and goes ooops....why wouldn't they apply the same re-provision to all Boost customers?

Your Docsdiag is quite average, showing the settings of 15mbit down and 2mbit up as your modem's caps. When you get the upgrade, the 15,000,000's will change to 16,500,000.
Your docsdiag profile differs from the people that have posted in this thread who are mostly BOOST users.
For example, notice Ken Peterson 's profile. Very similar to yours but has been upgraded to 16,500,000 bps downstream instead of the old 15,000,000 bps.
said by VishuzNinja :Also what exactly is this: if High Speed.1 = 100 Mbps if High Speed.2 = 0 Mbps if High Speed.3 = 43 Mbps if High Speed.4 = 10 Mbps if High Speed.5 = 12 Mbps if High Speed.16 = 0 Mbps TIA, ~Denny Let's take a look at the interfaces printout in it's long form:
--- ---
Now we can easily decipher the interfaces:
Interface 1 is the Ethernet port. It's a 10/100mbit port, and hence it's maximum throughput is 100,000,000 bits per second.
Interface 2 is the CATV MAC interface [without an extended long explanation, let's just say cable modems need this and the packetcable embedded interface to work :) ]
Interface 3 is the total capacity of the downstream channel the modem is on - The overall Cable [RF] Downstream interface, and it's maximum bps rate is 42,884,296 bits per second. The speed depends on the DOCSIS level and level of Quadrature Amplitude Modulation [QAM].
Interface 4 is the total capacity of the upstream channel the modem is on. The overall Cable [RF] Upstream interface speed depends on the DOCSIS level and TDMA or QPSK being employed.
Interface 5 is your USB port, which has a max speed of 12megabits per second. It's initialized (provisioned) even if it isn't being used.
Interface 16 is the Packetcable Embedded Interface, another interface needed to make a cable modem work.
My modem seems to print the entire bit rate, while yours rounds off (as in the case of the downstream overall max). Just ignore that.
Below is a small chart of the capabilities of each DOCSIS level / highest level of QAM assumed.
Synchronization speed (Usable speed)
DOCSIS Downstream Upstream 1.x 42.88 (38) Mbit/s 10.24 (9) Mbit/s Euro 57.20 (51) Mbit/s 10.24 (9) Mbit/s 2.0 42.88 (38) Mbit/s 30.72 (27) Mbit/s 3.0 +480 Mbit/s +120 Mbit/s
