Re: Let's keep all DOCSIS 3.0 Discussion in this thread, please
I'm on Blast. Highest that they're offering here til 3Q/4Q when I will automatically get bumped to Ultra. But I'd rather get the bugs worked out now than later...
Cjaiceman had no problems getting D3 going in Aurora... They did, however, have a total internet outage in Lakewood last night. I suppose they could still be having issues...

Yes you can never compare your areas D3 to another with how they got theres going so fast, there can always be problems they run into, and it can take time to fix, and etc. So i wouldnt freak out right now atleast. Btw whats the speeds for that package your on? because im seeing speeds up to 22mb down with ultra.. and so im thinking blast is a speed tier below it? If so then getting 21mb down isnt bad, and they aint gunna do anything for that extra speed if you are getting what your suppost to anyways. |

Denver, CO | 16/2 is Blast. However, I'm supposed to be getting powerboost, which I am not. They sell Blast as 24/4 here and I'm not getting either number.

| Well all i can say is call in and complain. I mean are you even using these speeds atm? I mean if all your doing is running speedtest, then there is no reason to complain. Because your only gunna get maybe another 250kb's more with 24mb down and its only gunna last a short time.
Go to Testmy.net, and run the smartest for download speeds, and post back here your results. |

Its not the downstream I'm worried about... I want my upstream back. I do a lot of upstream work. Torrenting Ubuntu ISOs for example.
Oh well, we'll wait and see if it stabilizes. I posted in the ComcastDirect forum about it... I'm going to tell my modem to reset to factory defaults and pull everything again and see if that makes a difference.

I got 64QAM uploads back by doing that.
As for the downstream, I guess powerboost is capped now. Never used to be. Oh well, that's life.
Its still getting T3 timeouts though.
