WiFiguru,

Are you north of Baseline and east of Indian Hill? You know if the bonding availability all the way to the Upland border? Did this occur in the last week?

That's probably still not enough to noticeably impact performance. However, if I collected that much in 24 hours, I might run around and check for loose connections, as it's higher than average.

See this thread
»[AZ] Total Uncorrectable Codewords INCREASING

Note how high the unerrored codewords are on a modem that reports it. 5219 errored codwords is probably some small fraction of .01% of data that's passed by your modem. The corrected codewords don't impact your performance, because that data was corrected.

It's unfortunate that modem manufacturers don't always report the unerrored codewords, or at least express it as a percentage. It's really needed for perspective to interpret that value.

Back to topic, I'm still at 4x1 in Valencia.

Hello just to update I still have 8 downstream bonding but no upstream bonding but twc is doing a lot of work on all of the nodes in my city and all the other equipment. I think they are trying to compete with fios which just started being installed on the north side of my city's main boulevard where I live the south side has has fios since 2006 when they started rolling out. My moms uncle who is passing due to cancer has fios and it has 2ms ping and good standard def tv bud the HD is not as good as directv which Is what I have since fios uses mpeg2 I believe and directv uses mpeg2 for sd but mpeg4 for hd.

Wifi,
When the bonding occurred, did your modem shut off on its own? How does the customer know for example in your house, how and when the bonding and streaming changed?
Anybody else who has had this upgrade should have had the same experience.
Thanks.

Did your modem trigger off and boosted to the 8 after you checked?
