Re: [NV] Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands' Birthday Present said by derek7:On Ultimate, I'm seeing max. 115/4 to both speedtest.net and test.lvcm.com. Sometimes the 4 is a 3. Should I be seeing more? You should be getting more. PM me your cable modem's HFC MAC address and I'll take a look to see if something weird is going on. |

Re: [NV] Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands' Birthday Present said by EyeInTheSky:How has the Vegas infrastructure been handling Queen Beatrix's gift?
Why do you think we had to wait so long to do it? We weren't idle on our side, I can tell you that... I still need to hibernate a month or so to catch up on sleep. |

Your modem is only 4 downstream channel capable, so you're basically maxing out those channels at 102.95. You'll need to upgrade to an 8x4 DOCSIS 3 modem (6180 or 3010 or similar) to get all the way to 150. |

| Thanks for looking into it.
Anyone have thoughts on the SB6141? Best Buy seems to stock those. |

The 6141 will work as well. |

CoxVegas - Just want to say that I am very happy with the upgrade. Everything is working great and seeing over 150M with my Ultimate level service.
I do have a question - I have a Cisco DPC 3010 modem that is of course using 8x2. Does Cox assign less channels to the those with lower tier packages and keep a few channels only for Ultimate level customers? |

Does Cox assign less channels to the those with lower tier packages and keep a few channels only for Ultimate level customers? We don't distinguish between service tiers for load balancing or channel usage purposes. How exactly the channel assignments and such occur vary market to market, and could vary node by node. Generally any scheme to do so would not make an efficient use of bandwidth on the cable plant, which we have to manage very carefully (remember DOCSIS channels compete with analog TV, digital TV, VOD, etc. etc., and it's all in around 150 channels worth of space.... and the upper 23 can't be used fully as they're so high a lot of receivers (and DOCSIS 2.0 modems) can't tune them.... and we need a COUPLE channels left unallocated for emergency "OMG" situations... and there's a few that are unusable due to noise, regulations, or the like.... it gets awfully tight, awfully quick. |

Just a follow-up on the 6141. I got it installed tonight, and my new speeds are:
I feel silly complaining about what is reported as better than 93% of the US, but the up still seems a little weak. I get the same speeds via the router and directly connected. Thoughts? |

Thoughts? PM me your new MAC address - that download is looking better, but yeah, your upload is still weird. |
