probably only in the 2 systems in the Dallas area (Dallas metro 860MHz system which covers about 5 counties and the 750MHz Greenville and Commerce Texas system which covers 1 county)

Dallas was the first TWC system have more than 4 downstreams for the internet so I would assume that NYC shouldn't be too far behind unless capacity is an issue. We got 6 downstreams on the internet while NYC got upstream bonding which came to Dallas about 3 months after 6 channel downstream bonding.

Not all in NYC is 8x4, my area is still @4x4 so I guess it will be awhile before we see the updates.

what modem are you using? If it is a SB6120 or SB6121 then no it won't show the additional downstreams.

Maybe the representative I talked hadn't been filled in on the details of the new package, but according to her it's not available in the Richardson area.

Looks like I just had to bounce around a few CSRs. Last one I spoke to 'found' the package and was able to add it to my account.



Hopefully it'll get better later. Might have to call Tier 2/3 support..

Check MyServices to see if they really did upgrade you.

Also, look for "Resetting the cable modem due to docsDevResetNow" in your event log at or around the time you called. That would mean that they tried to reboot your modem and if the new speeds didn't take hold then it could mean a few things. I saw that in mine when i called and knew something was wrong when i was not getting the new speeds. that and my internet stopped working till evening time when i had to call again.

MyServices reports I have "Ultimate 75 Upgrade" on top of Standard Internet.

Tier 3 said to wait 24 hours for the provisioning to roll out but that seems a bit odd, and a bit less believable now that the speeds are no higher than 25Mbps about 8 hours later.

We'll see tomorrow.

yup, that is just how my modem looked but at least your internet is still running.

Yea, i find it ood that they would ask you to wait 24hrs but it is a good sign that MyServices shows you upgraded. Maybe the T3 guy didn't want to go through too much effort.
