Re: [OOL] Wanting to change internet in most areas they cut basic back from 21 to 18
my guess is to try and sell boost plus while still providing above advertised speeds |

This would require the use of D3 modems (since it pushing the limits of a D2 Single Channel Modem). Right now, Standard Tier can be supported by D2 modems (although I think that all new customers are supplied with D3 modems and anyone with a SB4100 can get a free swap to a SB5200 or a D3 modem since the SB4100 does not fully support the full Standard Tier speeds [it can not do over 10Mbs]). |

| I don't think they'll do a swap, but they will loan you a new modem at no cost for as long as you keep service. You would get to keep the modem you bought and get whatever they loan you as a 2nd modem in the house - basically, you can keep your paperweight D1 modem. |

When I said "swap" I was assuming that the SB4100 was a CV supplied modem that was never replaced when they bumped Standard Tier to 15/2 (you had to ask when that occurred since the modem replacement was not automatic). |

This is the way I envision it.
Regular Tier - Current: 15/2 Proposed: 30/5
Boost Plus - Current: 50/8 Proposed: 70/10 |

I like your vision! If only CV agreed... |
