Re: what areas do not yet have D3?

In Dunnelon, Floridia there was no digital cable and I can only assume they are running DOCSIS 1.0 still. I think the max speeds were 3.0 mpbs.

It's likely to be 1.1. From what I understand all 1.0 modems are now "end of life".

I'm in Ocala but connected to the Dunnellon head end. The fasted package currently available is: Blast! 8/1. Not much of a "Blast!:

We also have A very limited number of digital HD channels available for about 6 months now.

8/1 is not blast. Blast is 16/2. 8/1 should be performance.

^ Yes it is listed as "Blast! 16/2 with PowerBoost" In reality the provisioned speed is 8800/1100.

Ref: »Comcast High Speed Internet FAQ »What are the actual Provisioned Speeds?

16/2 is not a tier that is provisioned at 8800/1100 with PowerBoost.

8800/1100 would have been the provisioned rates for the old 8/1 tier which was upgraded to the 8/2 tier.

^ Just upgraded to"Blast! 16/2" It is provisioned at 8800/2200 even though I was told it would be provision at 16/2. On the phone now to cancel the upgrade. Not paying $10 more a month for that small upgrade from 6600/1100.

Internet was out for a long time last night. This morning I woke up to my MODEM being provisioned at 17600/2200. Looks like I'll have to go purchase a DOCSIS 3 MODEM now!

Johkal, I was not trying to argue with you. I was just stating the package I sold and the accompanying provisioned rate.

16/2 Blast doesn't require a D3 modem. If it's not provisioned for 20/25 down it's probably not D3 yet.
