it's not usually like this, only been happening the past weeks.
OOL may be inconsistent sometimes.

This is the way I envision it.

Regular Tier - Current: 15/2 Proposed: 30/5
Boost Plus - Current: 50/8 Proposed: 70/10

I like your vision! If only CV agreed...

I don't think they'll do a swap, but they will loan you a new modem at no cost for as long as you keep service. You would get to keep the modem you bought and get whatever they loan you as a 2nd modem in the house - basically, you can keep your paperweight D1 modem.

When I said "swap" I was assuming that the SB4100 was a CV supplied modem that was never replaced when they bumped Standard Tier to 15/2 (you had to ask when that occurred since the modem replacement was not automatic).

It'd be better if the regular tier was bumped up to Boost Classic speeds of 30/5.

This would require the use of D3 modems (since it pushing the limits of a D2 Single Channel Modem). Right now, Standard Tier can be supported by D2 modems (although I think that all new customers are supplied with D3 modems and anyone with a SB4100 can get a free swap to a SB5200 or a D3 modem since the SB4100 does not fully support the full Standard Tier speeds [it can not do over 10Mbs]).

my guess is to try and sell boost plus while still providing above advertised speeds

aztr0 posted : Yes officially 15. Reality, I got 21 and this was since a few years ago when I got the D3 modem until December 2012. We can all argue about what number it is officially or what numbers you each get individually, but from my personal experience, I got 21 down w/o Boost "Plus".

I just got my bill - $86.59. There is tax on the TV.

I just called them when my last promotion was up and said my bill was too high.

Notice it is Optimum Value and regular OOL. We only get 500 channels we never watch, instead of 1000. And our internet speeds are 18/2 on the 15/2 plan.

We have no cable boxes - just one cable card that we use for our 3 TVs and recording.

Not much competition where I live - no Verizon. But at&t is pushing uverse - sold my dad, who is switching from OOL.

Can i ask what your using to have just one cablecard for 3 tvs and recording ?

I have been an OOL customer for 13 years.

I am currently paying $82 per month:
$37.05 for Optimum Value and a cable card
$14.95 for OV
$29.95 for OOL

That seems a very good deal, even cheaper than Triple Value for new customers.

How were you able to swing that? :)

It says 15mb, but with a DOCSIS 3 modem its really 21mb down,

CV lowered the speed to 18.75 Mbps.

Officially it's still 15Mb download.

There's my current speed test even though right now i'm having a some "issues" - can't figure out if it's OOL or my PC being funky.

The one thing with OOL is that their prices hasn't changed in 10yrs (excepting 19 days ago when it raised $5). Still a good deal though IMO compared to FiOS.

That's not to say I wouldn't get FiOS if it were available to me, I wish!
