Thanks for finding the info. I'm sure this thread will eventually be filled with speed tests.  |

I am going to go ahead and do a reboot to see if I get a speed bump. I doubt I will get anything at this time though. Might have to wait until the morning or afternoon. |

00000 | I am surprised they what update the website prior to pushing out the updates to the modems. Seems they should have actually given us the updates first. |

Gah! I rebooted and nada yet. Gotta go to bed soon to be up in time for school. I will reboot the modem when I get home and by then I should be a happy camper. I wonder if the uploads stay the same. My current upload is 500kbps. Not sure if that is going to be bumped up to 1 meg or what. Looks like you have to get the 15 meg to get the 1 meg upload. |

Who knows though with WOW. To confirm we will just have to watch as people report back with speed tests and what not. |

I don't think anyone knows what is going on for the ultra tiers exactly.
EDIT: logged on remotely and reset the modem. bin file has the same name (HSD_Advanced3SA11.bin) and speeds haven't changed yet 
EDIT2: reset a 2nd time, no dice. im going to sleep 
BTW i dunno if its common knowledge, but i've always found it easier to reset the modem through the browser: »192.168.100.1/reset.cgi |

My Prediction - WOW's systems will come to a crashing hault at 7:16 AM this morning due to a majority of their high speed internet customers resetting their modems.

If I read the new tiers correctly, it looks like I fall in the 15/1 category. That totally rocks. I'm currently at 6/650 so I'm looking forward to seeing the increase when I get home this morning. Now to be completely satisfied, I hope that WOW is finally bringing Caller ID to TV into the Evansville market with this upgrade. Then I will have everything I need. |

Well that would make since. Why do it overnight like regular maint. and not screw around with people when you can do it in the afternoon and hope the system holds. |
