Re: [OOL] Boost is getting a free boost
said by JaM4150  :Orange County is usually rolled into all of NJ. It'll probably be like when a new channel is added. The new channel or in this case service upgrade occurs on the last day. I live in Matamoras, PA which shares a system with Warwick, NY and Montague, NJ. I'm in Suffern in Rockland County (West of Westchester) and I'm serviced by the Mahwah NJ System (the other half of my town and the rest of Rockland is another CV system serviced I think from Westchester). I assume that I'll get my speed roll with NJ. |

I have Fios 30/5 and its killer, I would never go back to cablevision until their uptime improves. My friends Optonline died last night and is still down, no phone (voip), no internet .
The sad thing is.. there is no FIOS 30/5 package anymore.
Not sure how the FIOS 50 service compares to optonlines 30/5 pricing. |

My OOL hasn't gone out for more than a couple hours in years. in fact, I don't think it's ever been out more than 2 hours. Last time i had any downtime was about 8 months ago for 30 minutes.

said by Chris123NT :Whenever I ran Docsdiag on my modem running boost it awlays said: DOCSIS Operating Mode: 1.1 Indeed:
said by My SB5100 :
DOCSIS operating mode = DOCSIS 1.1
DOCSIS capability = DOCSIS 2.0
DOCSIS operating as = DOCSIS 1.1
See below 
Im gonna go out on a limb here and post the exact response I had received from Wilt on this several months back when I inquired...
Specifically:
Instrumentation and tool based; the QOS for the modems, Voice services, is
derived from Docsis 1.1 and that's currently all the number you're seeing
means.
BOOST is a separate channel and does run at DOCSIS 2.0 and has a certain
set of modems, like the Moto 5120, that are "cleared" for it--in other
words, 2.0 capable.
Some people are confusing BOOST and the new service level of OOL normal, so
that's part of it.
Some modems that we didn't "approve" for the 15meg service are actually
capable of coming close, running high 13s or low 14s, but close isn't what
we specified.
If performance of 14meg is good enough and you're happy--the editorial
voice here--with the modem then changing for 1 meg or so is up to the user,
but as far as specs go, we spec'd modems that would pass 15/2.

I just moved, but I think I'm still on the Warwick system as I'm only five minutes from Warwick even though I'm in NJ now.

I have not seen a post of anyone with the 30/5 service being capped. Well, if they cap 30/2 then chances are high they will cap 30/5. They would need some pretty significant capacity additions to support a 5mbit up pipe with no capping even with DOCSIS 2.0.

I was questioning the person who stated it as fact to find out the basis for his statement.

I gotta respect OOL though. They (even though this is because they already have the infastructure) brought 30/5 to a neighborhood near you first. Verizon 50/10 sounds nice though. |

I know that it's way too early, but for the hell of it I rebooted the modem and my upstream is now showing 3.201 Mbps. This is the first time it has registered over 2.2.
It may just be an anamoly, but....

Free solution: lower the Verizon 50/5 to $44.95 and charge the $90 for 50/15 (max docsis upload 2.0 spec)!
But, this will bring retaliatory speed increases and lower prices from Verizon. |
