| MAX 18 well i finally caved last night and opted to give the max 18 a try. set it to activate today and lo and behold when i woke up there it was already ready to go. initial speed tests look like they are right on the money.
looks like the same profile on the 2wire that I had before. I plan on calling up AT&T in the next week or so to cancel the u100 on my plan. anyone know what the cap is for max18 or has AT&T not mentioned what it will be? |

| Nice! The earliest date was Nov 14 for me. 
AT&T hasn't updated their BUMT FAQ to include Max 18 yet, but I'll be interested to see what the cap is as well.

Re: MAX 18 I was able to order it today, no error message like I got on Sunday. My new price is $65/month (I am Internet Only).
My speedtest to Fort Worth from Austin only shows a little under 12 megabits though. I wonder what's going on.

Tried it again with my software firewall turned off. A bit better but I was expecting at least 16 or 17 megabits.
Also as expected no profile change:

Try testing it at the SBC servers as well. I don't always get good results from speedtest.net |

I don't think the BBR speed tests "like" this particular speed profile.
I get the best results from the speakeasy.net speed tests, which for me, have always had the most accurate results.

Speedtest.net does good too on certain fast servers:

kudos:1 | Yeah, definitely CALL to get the upgrade if you want it. AT&T not only did the order immediately, but was able to keep my bundle discount and threw in a $20 gift card.

| Do you get any sort of incentive for combining your billing? When I chose that option, the only listed benefit was "more convenient - one bill". I have AT&T Wireless but am waiting for them to offer some sort of bundle incentive. They're both on automatic payment so I don't really care if it's two line items on my credit card bill or one.

Ya I was getting a $10 discount(before max 18) as a wireless bundle. I don't think it showed in the price estimate and it took like 2 months to combine so I didn't get a cell phone bill for awhile but the discount started right away. Also I don't have tv through att so I don't know if you could get an additional discount if you're already getting one |

Alright I decided to try out the Max 18 plan for awhile. I ordered online, waited 5 minutes, rebooted my RG, and now I have it. The speedtests on this site only show me with about 12 down and 1 up, but speedtest.net and speakeasy.net both show 17.3 down, and 1.4 up.

Upgraded today and never got the email, but I have the upgrade a few hours later. Tests are about the same as c0wzg0m00. |

how the hell are they offering 18 meg with the sync rate still being at 25? I take it speed will suffer if you watch TV? Not that it will matter for me since I won't be getting AT&T's TV service. |
