said by GeekNJ:I disagree. I think it is very uncommon that a few folks were somehow downgraded. I bet there hasn't even been 10 people in total that reported it here and a significant number of folks that have it and never had any issue.
GeekNJ, You are disagreeing with my terminology at best. I said it wasn't uncommon without referring to any specific value. Fewer than ten in these forums is possible and offers a more substantial reference but it doesn't negate my point.
If you prefer I could simply state that some people in these forums have reportedly had their modem configs affected in this way. This is a factual response with no ambiguity.
I would point out that if you extrapolate the relationship of the number of forum members who have experienced their modem being reset to standard service after upgrading to boost with the actual number of CV Boost subscribers who don't contribute to these forums it is very likely to be a significant number of affected subscribers.
I say this with no implications or accusations. Simply observations.
As far as Verizon FIOS is concerned, I know nothing about that but it is interesting that a different company, with different people, and different equipment is having similar issues. CV and Verizon may be different but they would both experience the same difficulties in relation to bandwidth distribution among customers. I don't think it's unreasonable to suspect them of assuming many of their customers wouldn't notice such a reconfiguration. I'll bet if I walked into my office and asked everyone who subscribes to HSI either with OOL or FIOS that not one single person (except maybe our IT guy) would have any clue how to check their modem speeds or configuration despite the tools available on the ISP websites.
