| [TWC] Speed Upgrade Updates
I'd like to keep this thread open only to those who have had their basic service upgraded to the 7Mbit down 512Kbit up service.
So, those who have had their service upgraded, please post your State, City and date it was upgraded. For those who have already posted their information on another thread, please post it again.
What's the point of this? I'm tired of rebooting my modem every night waiting anxiously for the upgrade! 
Please, no discussion on this thread--just information!
Thanks,
Mr. Anonymous |

Well, I'm not sure I'd call it an upgrade. Maybe a tweaking of the system I don't know.
Upload hasn't changed. Still consistently tests 355kbps-358kbps but my download has went from ~4700kbps to ~4900kbps. I'm on Earthlink in the new.rr.com (Northeast Wisconsin) market. Anybody else notice slight increases in speed? |

Since this has already gone to crap, I would venture to say you may garner more support if you actually register.
Most people don't respect an anonymous poster and I know your topic is especially ridiculous.
So, please register then repost this topic. |

I find that the testmy.net speedtests have become really unreliable due to caching. Recent test shows:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 4859 Kbps about 4.9 Mbps (tested with 20972 kB)
Download Speed is:: 593 kB/s
Tested From:: »insanepwning.net
Test Time:: 2006/03/18 - 12:13pm
Bottom Line:: 87X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.73 sec
Tested from a 20972 kB file and took 35.359 seconds to complete
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Diagnosis: Looks Great : 7.1 % faster than the average for host (rr.com)
Validation Link:: »testmy.net/stats/id-BSP7KWNMY
On speakeasy I pull of 4822/360.

A 384k upload is sufficient for most people IMHO.
Hob No, its not. First off, people paying for cable are not the average internet users.
In that case, they'd get sub $20 dsl service, just to browse the internet. We cable users pay damn good money ($40++) for out 5mbit down. The upspeed is just ridiculous. I can't send my cousins a photo album at near original resolution via AIM transfer because it takes so bloody long. He has 5mbit down, I have 5mbit down, but sure enough he can only download as fast as what I can give him.
That, along with me having vonage, which already handicaps me when doing other tasks like gaming via xbox live. |

yes they are. How many cable users have you spoken to in your life? I have spoken to tens of thousands and 99% of them are average users.
"We cable users pay damn good money ($40++) for out 5mbit down."
A buck fifty a day is not a lot of money.

| hobgoblin, I agree with you. Coming from Verizon Online DSL, 3.0/768 , I see no difference in Upload as Uploading was not my main priority, downloading was. But the upload is bound to increase since Verizon is going to roll out 7.1/768.
