| March Speed Increase??
Anyone know if Wave plans a March speed increase this year?
In my area there are three providers to pick from, Astound/Wave, AT&T U-Verse, and Comcast. Comcast just announced 16mb down 2mb upload service in my area, U-Verse is offering 10/1.5 service.
I'm on the Wave/Astound 8mb download 768 upload plan, in this area the upload speed is capped at 500k for the 768 plan. For an additional $10 per month Wave offers 8mb down and 1.5mb upload speed.
Tonight's speed test. |

| Wave/Astound gave us a bump up in speed, we now have a 10mb download plan, just like the rest of Wave customers. With lots of empty homes in my neighborhood and free Wifi now being offered I would have thought evening slowdowns would be a thing of the past.
Tonights speed. |

Looks like Port Orchard 6 and 10 meg service got bumped to 1 meg up... Wonder if all areas got it??
Thanks Wave!  |

Concord, CA | We did not get an increase in upload speed.
I have 768k upload service but Wave/Astound caps the speed at 500k for customers living in the SF East Bay Area. |

Ive had 385kbps up since it increased here from 128kbps a couple of years ago.
Was considering dsl for the 768kbps they offer here but wont need to now as long as things hold up here...
I hope they get your area up to your advertised speeds soon... |

Yup, looks as if the Bremerton area's upload speeds are now 1 meg instead of 786K. |

| Speed test done a few minutes past midnight. Upload speed is the fastest I've ever tested. Hope it's not a fluke, 10mb/768k advertised speed. |

Man!, those speeds remind me of the old @home days. Screaming during the day (15meg down 8meg up) to 300K down after 4pm..... |

man, those are some rough speeds.
I haven't run a speedtest from home in quite some time. I peak out at about 850KB/s down and don't care much about upload speed.
I'll try to remember to do one tonight to see. |

I too noticed the bump to 1Mbit upload in Port Orchard a few weeks ago. It's nice, but is this it Wave? Give us some love. I thought for sure we'd see a 16/2 or 20/5 top tier this year. Not complaining, just hoping. Otherwise I have no complaints at with service. |

there you go. I clicked on it from my VNC session and disconnected from there to make sure I wasn't taking up precious bandwidth.
Poor performance. I'll have to see what plan I'm on... |

| Speakeasy test at 7:18 pm.
I got a letter today saying UL speed is bumped to 1 MBPS. And sure enough it's there. Problem is the DL speed sucks! I usually see about 1 or 2 MBPS when it should be 6. And it feels slower than that. I've called them numerous times about it and they act concerned but do nothing. |
