| "The Edge" Speeds and Compatible modem
I just had Knology "The Edge" installed in Montgomery, AL. I am getting on most speed tests about 8000kb/s download during non-peek times and only about 400kb/s upload. I am worried about my uploads. The installers said my Surfboard 5100 was not compatible with "The Edge" and said that a webstar and some other model were the only 2 that were compatible.
I looked at the info here on DSLReports about the signal/power levels and they all seem within the range they should be
#1. IS my SB5100 compatible with "The Edge"
#2. My download speeds seem within range during non-peek hours, but why could my upload be so much off?
#3. My "firmware" on the model was updated when the serivce was activiated by the Knology config file to 2.3.2.2 something. Is this "firmware" config file the correct version for the service? |

| Your speeds sound about right. I don't have edge, and I get about 260kbps upstream.
I believe any DOCSIS 2.0 modem will work with Knology including edge. I bought a Linksys CM100 for $10 on ebay and it works good.

Knology is still running DOCSIS 1.1 even for the edge. |
