Re: [OOL] Slight bump in speeds?

It seems that way:

docsQosMIB.1.2.2.6.2.427.1 = [Gauge32] 5000000
docsQosMIB.1.2.2.6.2.427.2 = [Gauge32] 5000000
docsQosMIB.1.2.2.6.2.427.3 = [Gauge32] 5000000
docsQosMIB.1.2.2.6.2.428.1 = [Gauge32] 0
docsQosMIB.1.2.2.6.2.428.2 = [Gauge32] 0
docsQosMIB.1.2.2.6.2.428.3 = [Gauge32] 0

Also, just ran another speedtest and to see if the results were repeatable. This time was better:



I also did a real world test. Downloaded an 800 mB zip file from my web site host using FlashGet. 5 minutes and 20 seconds. Whew.

Nice! I still have the 30Mbit cap on my modem in the Bronx. I can't restart it from here, but maybe it'll get updated on the fly like yours.

Re: [OOL] Slight bump in speeds?

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?

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?

As usual, CV moves in mysteries ways.

They would keep it secret till everybody gets provisioned for it.

The only reason why you guys know about it is because of this website. So just be patient

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.
