Re: 25/15 is 25/25?...
He is not BSing you. Many here already have the 25Mbps/15Mbps package and see 25Mbps/25Mbps. You should be able to order that now. But yes, the hardware can handle the higher speeds.

There is already one report of a person on 35/20 who was seeing 35/30-35 and is now seeing their advertised rate (35/20). Still waiting to see if they have run enough tests to confirm for certain, though.

Camarillo, CA | Regardless I'm paying for 25/15 so I at least expect that. If it remains at 25/25 great. If not, still fine. |

I would rather have had them provision as straight up 25/15 without this fluff crap if they are just going to take it away. I bit the bullet because by bundling I can save some money. But all things being equal, I'd rather have 20/20 than 25/15.

My son was just upgraded to 15/5 today. Just had a chance to test it, and it showed 25.5/4.9. My 20/5, in the same CO, always tests 4.5 to 4.6 on the up side, so his 5 up is better than mine ever was.
We're all BPON, built out in 05 - 06. I'm wondering if your level of "fluff" has anything to do with whether you're B or G PON. |
