It's good that you were able to achieve those speeds with the old 3com - that means you've got a good line (the modern modems sync better, especially on upstream).
Actually, it's hard to tell at this point because some areas are already under the new system, which supposedly works much better than the old one.

The true testament lies with your actual attainable download rate to the central office under the new system. Theoretically it should be 24 Mbps, but on average it should be around 12-15 Mbps, which is not that great if you think about it.

I do not think you need to flash your modem unless you really have to.

This is my current speed after convincing TELUS that a fraction of their equipment is malfunctioning:

Download: 2710 Kbps
Upload: 640 Kbps]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20456974 Fri, 09 May 2008 14:45:12 EDT Re: Just went from 1.5 to 3.0 Enhanced http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20427198 siberx4 : It's good that you were able to achieve those speeds with the old 3com - that means you've got a good line (the modern modems sync better, especially on upstream). If they sync the same either should perform equivalently, but if you want to flash the speedtouch to an unlocked firmware (which does allow remote administration) then I have a guide and flashing pack to do so, if you're interested. PM me if you want the pack and I'll send it to you.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20427198 Sat, 03 May 2008 18:26:26 EDT Just went from 1.5 to 3.0 Enhanced http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20427142 anon : Just got some new service at my new place and upgraded from regular high speed to the enhanced one.

I also got them to ship me a Thompson Speedtouch Modem to replace my old (but still working like a horse) 3com home connect.

I ran a speed test before I switched modems and after and the numbers are the same.

2618 kbps Download
797 kbps Upload.

Now are these speeds normal for the enhanced high speed? Also I read a lot about people trying to flash new firmware on the TS but nothing in the manual says anything about me being able to remotely administer it.

I did a quick look but did not find a guide, can someone point me to the right direction?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20427142 Sat, 03 May 2008 18:16:39 EDT
