Equipment upgrade this week.....we'll see.....

After years of getting less than the 3mbs I was paying for, Windstream upgraded the equipment on my road this week.

Now my speed test return a solid 3.2mbps every time. They finally connected the fiber that they buried 2 years ago. And what a difference it made.

They also upgraded me to a 12mbps service that will be completed on Monday, July 21st.

SO....it looks like I will finally get what I was promised to have by the end of 2012. I will be running speed tests Monday night. Hopefully I won't be back here posting a lot of sad comments.

Well, due to some miscommunication, the upgrade did not happen. BUT..........
When I let them know they did it this morning.

First speed test showed a d/load speed of 11.4mbps. I am not there, my daughter did it for me.

So, when I get home I will tweak the router and see how much better it gets. But with the connection of the fiber cable and now the speed increase, the days of my wife complaining about "buffering" may be over. And I may resubscribe to Netflix or something similar.....

Ok, last night, the speed tests were running 10.7 - 12.6 mbps.

This morning the d/load speeds were solid at 12.54mbps.

So, for the moment, all looks good.
