Indiana, PA | So where is 7mbit available?
So who's called, who's switched, and where are you located when they said it was available to you? |

2 edits | Currently on hold, going to try my luck. I reside in Queens, NY. Ill edit with an update soon.
edit: 35 mins on hold and its lunch time - will try again later.
edit2: Spoke to 4 reps. 2 of them said I need to wait til tomorrow to place an order since they got an email stating not to place orders til tmr. 1 rep said i didnt qualify. the last rep just "Thank you for patiently waiting ".
One of the reps did give me some useful information. I am 4720 ft away from the CO, also this is a change they will do on their side and told me I would not require a tech visit. Said its like if she would change me to the 768kbs tier and then back to 3mbits. Though I take that information with a grain of salt. |

Edit:
Just got off the phone and the guy said no.
He didn't seem to know about it though. I will try later.
Edit 2: Called back and spoke to a very nice lady who upgraded my account. The speed increase will happen within 24 hours, no tech required.
Zip Code 15003.
I will update with a speed test when it happens. |

That is what they said. I asked that specific question because I read your post.

I checked my number and the 768 and 3.0 plan are offered.
No 7MB.
Probably is not on their site yet?

There shouldn't be any need for a different modem or filters, I had 7/768 3 years ago with radip systems ( reseller for Verizon in the Tampabay Florida area )
It was a great service but compared to today's speed, pricey ( 150 month )
Anyhow, it's only limited by the loop Lenght, nothing else |

Yeah, but according to the article it should be. Just wanted to confirm if the article was correct or not before trying to call.
Neu, try a the number of a neighbor without DSL if you can. |

It's been mostly standard practice for them to install the filter for this speed on their business plan. Other than tying the modem to a single jack, it causes no harm and can only help. |

I tried calling to find out about an upgrade. Sales said it was available for my number but billing said it was not available. I guess I will give it a couple of days and try again.

Hopefully they are right. If I do not see the speed increase by tomorrow I will give them a call.
BTW I searched for a few other local numbers and the only results were for Business Lines, not sure why.
