anon posted : This is not meant in a bad way, I apprciate the extra speed.....BHN Speedtest for Bakerville and Detriot ...drops 12MB 33.5 Dn\drops 3.3 Up.

Are these all in-network routes? If not, why have them being selected by the BHN speedtest? Orlando and Birmingham come is darn close to Tampa.

swbrains posted : If it's a competitive move, I doubt it would make the difference in convincing a new customer to choose BH over FiOS, or keep an existing customer from leaving -- assuming internet speed was a significant factor in their decision. Adding 5-7 mbps down (effectively) and about 1 mbps more on the upload side (effectively), it's an insignificant change in that regard.

It would just make them look great, it almost as though they gave us more speed and don't want any kudos...lol

Maybe power cycle your modem and recheck the speeds. Remember to take out the battery in modem when power cycling to insure it.

That would explain the bump in my speeds a few days ago. I was moving some equipment around in my entertainment center and rebooted the modem manually after reconnecting the router.

anon posted : That was it.....speeds using BHN Site just now 45.32/5.66. Second time I performed the Test the site connected with Indy....34.3/4.3

I have always felt that BHN does so many things great; but; their communications need some real improvement. Why not let customers know well in advance they are bumping up the Internet speeds as opposed to Customers finding out on their own?

Like the new Guide; I got an automated call that the new Grey Guide was coming....2 days after I got it. When they release a Guide maybe months later we will get an insert in out Bill outlining changes...but rarely are they instructions.

Isn't this the "Horse before the Cart"

DougHo posted : Mine in Orlando had remained at 40.8/5.17 (SamKnows test every couple hours; or slightly slower using BHN test) UNTIL I power-cycled Moto modem this morning. After modem power-cycle, got 47/6 (Speakeasy Speed Test). I am Lightning-only customer (until tomorrow when I add limited Basic TV).

Thenightman4 posted : I would feel the same way, maybe they are increasing the speeds by region in time and not all at once.

I remember like 4-5yrs ago when there was a free bump in speed from 15/5 to 20/5 because of FIOS competition and it took a bit for all counties to get it

anon posted : If not a Glitch; why so "spotty". The original Post was from a customer in Pinellas, another in Westley Chapel...unable to tell where the others are located. I am in Northern Pinellas.....and I have not seen the increase. You would think if BHN by design increased the speeds....it wouldn't be so spotty......

Thenightman4 posted : I would think that this isn't a glitch. I would like to know what they are aiming for though? Maybe 47/6?

Heck anything is better then nothing though, I'm a BIG time downloader and before I would max out at 5.0 megabytes per second and now it's 5.7!! It's not a huge difference but makes up for it with 20-30GB downloads!

My SamKnows Reports and the BHN on-net tests are showing a slight bump in internet speeds for Lightning since about 2 days ago. I usually sustain 40~41. Lately I'm pushing 44~45.

Not a big deal, just something I noticed. Any hints at faster speeds in the near future?

That's great New's ! BHN is Finally over provisioning RR Lighting in line with VZ FiOS's 35/35Mbps Tier. Fantastic News !

Now if BHN can only fix there speedtest website speedtest.bhn.net so I can test my RR LTG Speed's on the Tampa Speedtest server everything will be good.
