2 edits | [OOL] What speed tier increases would you like to see? Considering the story on the home page about Comcast's speed increases - »Comcast Speed Increases Hit California as well as Fios...it seems Cablevision really needs to catch up to the others in bumping up their speed tiers. Yes Comcast doesn't directly compete against Cablevision but still...their speed tiers are looking a bit stagnant by comparison. Since they've gone all digital and have 8 downstream channels, they just need to get working on bonding upstream channels...but this is how I'd like it atleast below.
I recommend the base tier of 15/2 get moved up to atleast Boost Classic of 30/5 or up to 40/10, Boost Plus to 65 to 75/15 and Ultra to 105/20 to 110/25. |

| I am on 15/2 (internet only) and all I want is price decrease of non-promotional offer for internet only (which now is $55 if I am not mistaken). I don't need anymore speed (well, higher upload would be nice but not at the cost of price increase). |

I'd love to see Boost Plus to to 85/20. I'm already getting around 75 with boost plus. |

Doubtful we'll see any economy tier but as suggested
10/2 new cheaper tier
15/2 -> 30/5 new ool regular
50/8 -> 75/25 new boost plus
Don't care about ultra
With that said I would stay with ool regular 30/5 |

If I was to guess, these 30 Mbps base tier suggestions are unlikely as it would likely decrease Boost Plus revenue. I wouldn't expect a grand re-tiering until we have upstream bonding so there is more upload capacity. If there was an increase, it would probably be at most 20 or 25 down with 4 up. Provision speed would probably be about another 5 Mbps if they keep up the current level of overprovisioning.
I don't "predict" this happening though as I said above due to current upload constraints. Most of these would result in upload being completely hosed by less than 2 full non-ultra customers uploading to full extent. |

| I've said before that standard tier could jump to 20/5 with Boost+ going to 75/15 and Ultra can do 150/20. Probably dreaming a bit too much but hey, at least i'd feel better about paying $70/month for internet alone! (Boost+ no promo anymore because AT&T is not competition around here  - Sure I could drop CV and get my "Blazing Fast" 15-18Mbps speeds MAX from AT&T for a nice $45+Tax. Great!  ) |

Which modem do you have? Maybe he has an underperforming ultra account |
|
| 75 Mbps is not possible with Boost Plus. Either you have ultra or more likely a misreporting speed test. |

i'm at 36/5 with boost classic now so i'd be happy with 50 or 60 and 10 upload.
it's been a while since we got speed increases so i hope it happens soon. |

Which modem do you have? Arris modem, but the fiber breaks off at the telephone pole that goes straight to my house and not many people are on it. |

Get a power supply that delivers double the voltage to the modem - see if that makes it run twice as fast. I plugged my computer into 220, and it seemed to be faster.

Your house has a coax cable that goes to a tap on the pole. Then usually you have a coax run that goes to a fiber node. That fiber node usually runs 250 - 500 houses.
Cablevision doesn't use fiber to the premises for residential services. |

Please post speedtest results |

| This was on a crappy single core IBM t41 so results aren't so good. I normally see around 70. I've only seen 75 about two or so times.
