| Cogeco Land - Modem synced with Start! I woke up this morning and put on a pot of coffee. I thought I might just go plug in the modem I received in the mail from Start yesterday. After plugging it in, it synced fairly fast and I said to myself "What a wonderful World!". Actually I thought it can't be this easy, but it was. First bit of speed tests seem to be all over the place. I was disappointed that I was getting about 14 Mbit down and just over 1 Mbit up. Then I remembered I didn't get a docsis 3 modem I have a 2 so I should only be seeing about the 16Mbit and 14 out of 16 is not too bad. My ping is a little higher then I like, but I am okay with it.
I did a trace route to www.dslreports.com and this is what it looks like. This doesn't look nice. I stopped it after 19 hops.

So Far, the install was easy, and I think I just may have to do a little tweaking, but everything seems to be working. |

I've often found cable to be superior to DSL in terms of ease of use, ping times & responsiveness.
Congrats, man. Please keep us updated on further tests.

Looks like nac.net is filtering udp for traceroute. If I use ICMP traceroute you can see the hops behind 6:

Signal To Noise Ratio 36.1 dB
Power Level -10.1 dBmV
Upstream Value

Hmmmm....
I wonder would that be a good thing to ask for ALL of us who have chosen Advanced plan with Cogeco feeds ? |

I know the modem can only handle 16M right now, but I thought the original people were going to stay at the 20M profile. When I get a docsis 3.0 modem, or the docsis 2.0 modem's get approved for the higher profile, will I be moved up to the 20M profile?
Either way 20 or 16, I won't complain, I am happy with everything so far. Really just a question how things will work!. |

Pauls. I was concerned that the transfer service may not adjust the provisioning speed but I confirmed it did. |

All the original people will get the D3 modems - we had to use the D2's simply because we had to get orders in with mac addresses. We'll be contacting those on the pre-list in the next week approximately to arrange swaps. |

| next week we'll get D3??
woohoo! |
