Marion paid a good chunk of money to have a private fiber network between the police and fire departments. I've known that there was fiber available to parts of town, Black Diamond has had it for years.

Last that I heard from Claerwave is that they'll be the backbone that will allow other providers to sell the fiber service. Either way it goes I'm close enough to the library to borrow their fiber from time to time once it is up and going.

actually no the marion fire department is only on a T-1 line as far as I know..... the fiber I am talking about runs along the C & O railroad bed.....to prosperity........down to RT 13 all the way to rt 148.....that is the fiber we are on

Call me skeptical but I think we won't see docsis 3.0 until Clearwave gets the fiber up and going.

here is what I see now...look at the begining of this thread to see what I used to see

clearwave's fiber is not for resdential anyhow..they are after the big money......to the tune of 10 meg X 10 megs for $500.00 a month.......a little known fact is fiber is available now in certant areas of Marion and down RT 13......we are on 6 Meg X 1.5 Meg fiber at my Fire Department.

anyhow before it showed 1 channel in my modem and Docsis 3 is the only reason I know it would show 4 bonded channels......

also speed much better today

My speeds have been in the tank all day. Tweeted Mediacom and they say all my signals are ok but my modem 'isn't getting a good ip address'. Speedtest.net has been showing that I'm in IA for a month but speeds have been fine until yesterday. Tech is coming out on Wednesday.

57ms Ping
.89M down
.90M up

I just got off the phone with tech support and they are telling me there is a issue in this area they are working on......

oddly enough i go to the interface of my SB6120 tonight and it shows 4 bonded channels......last month it showed one.....possible they upgraded our area to docsis 3.0 maybe?

Thanks alot for the update. Really appreciate it. Actually, it is much better today. So maybe they really did install two new provider lines and they are helping. If it goes bad again I will definitely call.

Here is my speed at 315 today. A big improvement compared to the last few days.
