said by jefe  :The thing that baffles me is why CV would keep something like this a secret? Why not announce they're doing it, get some positive publicity and goodwill, and maybe sell some more Boost packages? Because you cant sell "best effort" to non-IT people. Joe six pack will call in into CS and demand to know the speed he is paying for, no "best effort" "lawyer speak". Or someone will call in and say "its not fast enough, you promised unlimited". |

All I have to say is wow, just last week I was going to switch to FIOS for 50/5. I think I am holding off. Now if they can kick the upload to 10mbps, we are there. |

Last Result from speakeasy.net:

I hope that when I go back to Brooklyn in 2 weeks and activate the service, I get similar speeds  |

Second test is SpeakEasy NYC |

said by Subaru :I pay for 3mbps down with verizon and I get less then 1mbps speeds :-/ Not possible. Verizon always delivers at least 100% of advertised speeds - haven't you been reading this forum over the past several months?! |

Thats is what i was thinking because of my speeds being so weird. Sometimes its fast and sometimes its slow but right now it sucks and its not even 15 mb. Maybe it will get fixed soon after some tweaking on there end but for now my line has been messed up since like april. |

Besides the OOL FTP test, is there any other FTP site that can be used to test your speeds? I remember that certain EA downloads all maximized your connection. |

Yeah, I'm finally getting close to or better than advertised speeds.
I might even think about paying for Boost if they can keep this up.
Oh, and to La Luna - try rebooting it again today, I think they finally dood it up here!  |

Most people will not use more Bandwidth due to the extra speeds, they will simply do the same stuff they are doing faster, this is especially true since the change is on the Download side.

it seems like it's more or less the more people don't reboot the modem the less they have to worry about people using more bandwidth with the extra speed. |

said by jwersan :I would have assumed that if OOL had pushed out the new configs, they would remotely reboot all the modems too. Hmmm... thousands of modems rebooting at the same time. I wonder if that might cause a problem? |
