Re: [TWC] Upgraded to Extreme 30/5

said by juilinsandar:

Is 15/1 the new standard plan? In my area it's still 10/1, but turbo was upgraded recently to 20/2.

standard has powerboost which is why they are seeing 15Mbps down and 1Mbps upload. The consistent download is 10Mbps on standard after powerboost.

Although on 50/5 and 30/5 tiers there seems to be some over provisioning to make sure you are getting the full 50/5 or 30/5 speeds.

I regularly get 31Mbps down and 5.13 Mbps up on extreme.

It also helps that my area has a total of 232.8 Mbps (6 downstreams*38.8Mbps per downstream channel) bandwidth per node for all of the internet traffic as we used to be maxed out at 155.2 Mbps (4 downstreams*38.8Mbps per downstream channel) per node.

That is not true, at least for me. I receive a PowerBoost download of about 30 Mbps for about four seconds, then a consistent 15 Mbps.
