Re: [TWC] New Modem = Speed Capped?

Okay TWCdude, I just switched to RR furnished UBEE Docsis 3.0 and had a SB Docsis 2.0 before. I was getting 25 to 26 mbps download speeds on my SB 2.0, but now can only get 19.4 with the Ubee Docsis 3.0. Am I better going back to the older 2.0 SB or am I actually getting faster downloads because more data is pouring thru even though the speed says I am slower? I also got Turbo on the 8th and the Ubee installed on the 10th.

You are going to get the 20M either way just with the SB you will get the extra 5M for only 20 seconds or so and if you are downloading a large file it wont make a difference. The advantage the ubee has over that is when it gets busy it has 4 (soon to be 8) download channels to pull from vs 1 so it will make the service a bit more consistant during peak hours.

Thanks for that info. I was just told that my D/L were ok but my upload was not "bonded". Does that mean something to you and is it fixable from TW's end?

I also just read about bridgeable. Is that something I need on my UBEE ?
