Re: Speed increase for businss starter - northeast said by rmdir:Unfortunately for them, with my Obi 110 I don't need phone service, and don't want to pay the extra cost for cable TV since I don't watch it anyway. Paying for phone service is so 2000.
except when your power goes down, your internet goes down and so as your Obi110.
regular POTS will still be alive....
unless, you got a backup generator somewhere then you're ok...
hopefully you dont need to call 911 as well as... |

said by medbuyer:I wonder if I bundled it with home phone service, I could get a discount....
Will they give me a separate emta for the phone service and continue to use my SMC D3G for internet? I cant seem to find / remember the answer to this...
Business and home are completely separate. You can get business voice bundled. Not a very good deal though.

I accidentally power cycled my SB6121 about 30 minutes ago when I was shuffling some cables around, and I still see 12/2 for my base sustained rate on the ICSI Netalyzer test. The ShaperProbe servers seem to be offline at the moment, so I couldn't test with ShaperProbe.
Of course, if the OP's thread title is correct, I probably won't see any speed increase since I am not in the northeast.

You'll just see a rate increase, not a speed increase. :-p |

Glad to know it wasn't just me. I have been making a bunch of firewall rule changes lately and thought I had done something to block it. Was really scratching my head until I just gave up because everything else was working. |

Re: Speed increase for businss starter I should edit the subject line. Looks like a national change and includes premium not just starter. |

How do I know that I was upgraded? Is there a config change in the modem/gateway I can check? I have SMCD3G gateway. |

try rebooting your modem sometime mid october...hopefully they've carried out the new speeds in every market by then.
if not, try again by the end of the month...
then use shaperprobe to check / validate speeds... |

Ugh, I could see that happening too.
I was thinking of going to residential, so I changed the firmware on my router to Tomato firmware so I could see how much bandwidth I actually use. Either it's bandwidth monitor is inaccurate or a business application I run uses way more bandwidth than I thought it did. Apparently it's consuming nearly 6Mbps (no idea how/why) downstream and 1-2Mbps upstream almost the whole time it's connected to it's server. It didn't use to use that much on an older version. That puts me at about 300GB a month just on that one application - so switching to residential is out.
In fact - now I'm thinking I need to upgrade to the 22/5 (hopefully soon to be 27/7) tier. The application has been having problems lately whenever I did something else to use the connection (like Revision3 or TWiT on Youtube) - and now I see why. If the application needs 6Mbps per second now Youtube has probably been cutting into that whenever it went to buffer. My QoS settings were only setting aside 1Mbps. If I go up to the 22/5 (27/7) I could set aside much more without slowing everything else to a crawl. |
