No CC email notification yet, nor a speed increase... I was resetting the modem every two days in hope.
After reading of problems OP are having AFTER the 'upgrade', I think I'll just chill awhile and pray my modem doesn't reboot by accident.  |

Spoke with a representative in Shaumburg, IL today. Confirmed that Chicago markets will be seeing 305 speeds by Q3. No official date or pricing, but it's in the works. |

Re: Post info here about speed upgrades predicted/not here yet FWIW, and it may not be worth a damned thing....I'm switching from business class to residential at my house. Got signed up through a referral from my business rep at Extreme 105 for $89 per month, and sales has told me twice now the new speeds will roll out on April 17th and I'll be upgraded to 205/xx when that happens. I'll believe it when I see it, but 205 down for $90 per month would be sweet. Getting installed Friday morning, so I'll have the 30 day window to drop it if it doesn't come through. |

Rebooted my modem and my router last night, and no change here yet either. I'm on Performance, so the "change" that I'm looking for is the removal of Power Boost, and my actual speeds to be either 20/5 or 25/5 (I keep seeing different reports of what Performance will be once PB is removed). My latest ShaperProbe is below. As you can see, it still detects PB on both the upstream and downstream. DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008.
Shaper Detection Module.
Connected to server 38.102.0.87.
Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 4263 Kbps.
Downstream: 22710 Kbps.
The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.
Checking for traffic shapers:
Upstream: Burst size: 4511-4581 KB;
Shaping rate: 2128 Kbps.
Downstream: Burst size: 9778-10135 KB;
Shaping rate: 15941 Kbps.

My latest speedtest shows this as well, and also posted the picture. » www.speedtest.net/result/2619780609.png--Brian --

This thread has quite a bit of information about the 305 service.

Anybody know if Business Class will get an Upgrade also?
I currently have the 50/10 Business Plan Looking for more due to the IPSEC Tunnel.
Thanks

Just out of curiosity, aside from the justifiable bragging rights, what does 205 down get you? None of the more mainstream commercial servers will send more than about 5% of that at best. I suppose if you had 9 roommates, you could all watch different HD streams at the same time. Other than that?
You'd have to take a good look at your router. Aside from the obvious wireless throughput limitations, the LAN-WAN interface can be a bottleneck on the cheaper can be an issue. |

Chicago, IL | Will have to wait and see. Since it's less costly than my 27/7 business plan, if it at least hits those speeds I'm still ahead. |

Does CC increase the speed of their tiers every year? How often do they do this? |

In my experience, yes, they do. Or every year and half. What the NE section gets this year, my area would get almost a year from now.
A most recent example was the current round of upgrades going on over the last few months and still ongoing.
These upgrades happened in the NE almost a year ago. |

In my statement was a flier stating my speed had been doubled.
Still nothing, so it should be any day in Battle Creek, Michigan. |
