| [NV] New speeds live in Vegas The speed upgrade is now in effect in Vegas. Just downloaded a 1.5GB file and it was a solid 6MB/sec. download the entire time. Upload is now 5mb/sec. Thinking of going to ultimate but will have to wait to see how Cox handles a BS fee they charged me. 150mb/sec. is very tempting. |

| I'm not seeing the speed upgrade on ultimate yet. |
|
| Have you tried restarting/unplugging your modem? Maybe it's a staggered update. |

| Just rebooted and also got new speeds in phoenix...sweet!
Also, I'm on 6 channels down, 3 channels up, which seems to be adequate |

Went live here about 12:10AM, my router (the Netgear CG3000D-RG I'm renting from Cox till I can find a good deal on a nice Gigabit one that I can put some decent custom firmware on) kicked out for about 2 minutes then came back up. I ran a test pulling data from Astraweb and it went from a nearly rock solid 2-2.1 MB/s to s pretty much rock solid 3.1-3.2 MB/s - Task Manager's network tab showed me a nearly flat line so, I'm happy with it I guess.
Now if they'd just bump the cap (200GB with my Preferred) - I do a lot of software testing that requires me to get some fairly large files and I get sick of having to monitor myself almost daily to make sure I don't get myself in any trouble . Just pulled about 197GB last month (billing period ended on the 21st).
Come on, Cox, how about a little bit more bandwidth now that you're raising prices a little bit more... 
(and I don't even want to hear "switch to another plan" either, that's a tired lame excuse considering that article I found and linked to in the other thread with regards to bandwidth caps and the myth of congestion) |

Not bad for $32 a month.
Cord cutting is imminent. Once that happens I'll probably change my review to reflect the improvement of service. |

That "$32 a month" has me wondering... are you referring to a package as part of a bundle (the $99/month cable/phone/Internet thing)? Just curious...

| I see the speeds. Does anyone know of a wireless router than can give these speeds to my computer through a wired connection? |

For Arizona:
What is Premier HSI supposed to be increased to?
After a reboot I am only seeing 30-33Mbps (up from ~25Mbps)
Powerboost now jumps to 60Mbps, but sustained I am only seeing 30-33Mbps |

I'm seeing 80/20 now on ultimate. What are the official upgrade speeds for Vegas?
Edit:
On the VA page they list their ultimate speeds as 100/20 (with powerboost). Is this what Vegas is getting too? The Vegas page hasn't been updated quite yet. Neither has AZ's.
