Re: Mediacom MAX 20/2 to 98% of footprint by 6/30!
said by questorfla :
any idea when this will happen in Santa Rosa Beach?
I was just about ready to get rid of my MAX becuase the I cant justify the price. But if they boost it to 20, i guess i'll stay
Detailed plans are still being worked. All I can say right now is it will be soon (most places well ahead of the announced 6/30 date.) I will post more details as they become solid. |

| ok, i am not one to jump the gun, but unless this is going to be implemented soon I am dropping Mediacom as I can save quite a bit of cash by going to qwest so unless i know this is coming soon mediacom is going goodbye and i will be accepting qwest and directv into my household so give me something that will allow me to say I have to stay with mc |

| well they are talking that it should be before 6/30 so that is about 5 weeks away. I sure hope your qwest works better than my sisters. She changed and can hardly wait for their year to be up so they can change back. She has had nothing but trouble since she changed. Speeds are real slow and definitely not at the level she is paying for. If Mediacom is running about a week ahead in getting it deployed then in about 4 weeks the new speeds should be in place. As for me, I do not have much to decide on. The local phone company's dsl speeds are definitely not highspeed. If I take there tv along with the dsl I will get a download of about 1000 and upload of 256 and the cost with tv would run right at $200. Shoot Mediacom has them blown out of the water on speeds alone. That is for me, your mileage may differ. |

Most of you (after rebooting the modem) should had the new MAax speed. Be aware if you have an eMTA, you will need to use the reset button or remove the battery (and pull the plug) to successfully reset the modem. |

V, I'm not sure why you are claiming that testmy.net can't
do more then 11mbit [ever].
Every time I test there I get 13.5-14mbit. Thats completely
consistent with DSLR's results as well as other speed tests.
Now, it's true that it could be a routing issue to their server(s) with
you and I being in different parts of the US, but it's not fair to say they can't support X amount of speed.

| testmy.net is a poor test site
always has been guy, i dont mean to burst anyones bubble but it is.
i have seen countless people report their speeds are poor when using that site but go to another site and they have great speeds.
those are just my experiences.
last night i proved that by doing over 5 tests there and never once getting over 11mb
but at the same time i could switch to speedtest.net and get 19mb.
the good thing about speedtest is they show a map of many locations thruought the usa to test from
the downside is that they do not show what the speed limit is of each particular site.
chicago and the twin cities do not have any issues cranking up and beyond 20mb.
its unfortunate that many sites do not have the speed tests set to test with larger files for faster connections.

Waterloo, IA | v_lestat, I'm not surprised. Majority are still stuck with 5Mbit and below. "Speed Tests" are generally not reliable indicators, only for trending. |

I have found that this ftp site is usually a pretty good speed test. It is not as user friendly as the point and click speed test because it is best used with an ftp client.
»ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/
v, try the 64 meg file or the 512 meg file

| i'll give it a try after work tonight and let you know.
i sent a file to a buddy in Omaha last night via my own ftp server and he was getting 180kb/sec so not the 230 that the speed tests where showing but definately showing the increase in speed. |

| I have to agree with all the going consensus testmy.net is not the most reliable, however at this time it appears to be somewhat close to speedtest.net. But in the past that has not been true. As you can see the upload in inaccurate.
from testmy.net
Download :: 19131 Kbps or 19.13 Mbps (2335 kB/s)
Upload :: 1174 Kbps or 1.2 Mbps (143 kB/s)
and from speedtest.net
Is response to whomever stated that testmy.net could not test speeds at 20Mbps you are TOTALLY mistaken |
