Re: [OOL] Slight bump in speeds?

said by srstakey See Profile :

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.
It probably is a measurement anomaly. 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.

 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.
