As for the speeds, I'm not too surprised that it's erratic at peak times. 50 Mbps seems like an awful lot to shove through two downstream channels when other neighborhood usage is involved. For consistent speeds, I'd say at least four channels would be ideal. That's something that's entirely up to Mediacom to deal with though.

And another:



Seems like around peak times DL takes a serious hit. These tests begin well over 40 Mbps then drop till the final result.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27625921 Mon, 15 Oct 2012 20:27:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27613586 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27613586 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 16:44:19 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27613569
I don't think that my issues were entirely on my end, but that the combo of the maintenance person's work and mine (was up late installing, reinstalling, & updating everything I could think of for several nights) that brought the service up to what was expected.

Still will be monitoring this to be sure this wasn't a fluke, so we'll see. Am hopeful though.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27613569 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 16:39:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27612915 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27612915 Thu, 11 Oct 2012 14:01:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27611076

Will keep checking over the next few days to see if this keeps fairly consistent.

Ok so here's where things get really weird. Brought my work laptop home tonight. Plugged it into the router directly and got this result on a speed test:

[att=1]

Plugged my desktop back in and got this result:

[att=2]

The laptop had gotten a different IP address when plugged into the modem directly that CORRECTLY showed that I was located somewhere in central Illinois. When I use my desktop it says INCORRECTLY that I am located in central Missouri. Either way I don't know what is going on.

Going to try an update some drivers and such to see if I can make a dent in this issue.

Does all of this signal info look good?

(This is a Motorola SB6120 - supposedly supported by Mediacom for Docsis 3.0)

The PC is an interesting problem. The NIC is good and is an Nvidia 10/100/1000 on the motherboard. In fact, there are 2 of them. I have tried using with just one connected then the other, then both with the same results. Drivers for the MB & NIC were checked and are of the most current firmware. This is a gaming rig with a core 2 extreme. Just doubt there is a problem with the PC. (Also look @ first results and see that my DL has been near 50 and upload near 5 in the past on the same PC)

Seems that in the evening I am getting the worst results by a lot and STRANGELY worse than before I "upgraded" to Ultra50. When I do the speed tests they always start out quick (30-40 mbps) then drop dramatically through the test to something like this:



Maintenance guy was back at my house again today and talked to my wife (wish I had been here to talk to him). He said he checked what he could and may have connected a few things differently. Told her that if our problem wasn't fixed, we should contact Motorola for a new firmware or have a new modem put in our house.

Pretty sure Motorola can't give me a firmware.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27606864 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 21:14:27 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27606640
I know I had to upgrade my router to utilize U50 fully, but even after that, my older Pentium 4 file server still could not utilize the speed fully.

Maybe a tech could bring a laptop that has been verified to utilize Ultra50 to your house and retest both with and without your router to eliminate any question in your equipment.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27606640 Tue, 09 Oct 2012 20:10:13 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27603118 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27603118 Mon, 08 Oct 2012 21:57:36 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-IL-Ultra50-27602952
