MSJVM Oceanic Speed test |
Oceanic told me a few hours ago that they will be offering the 15mbps speed to the entire state "very soon." This was a tier one CSR as it was midnight here and I didn't want to ask for tier 3 at that hour. He said he was basing this on the internal memos and that he agreed that Oceanic should not have announced it when they did as it was barely available to just a few and so announcing it was misleading. So, I think that he was telling the truth and if the memos he has been reading are accurate maybe it is just around the corner...but with Oceanic...seeing is believing.
If I were to believe Oceanic's speed test and MySpeed Advanced to San Jose server and »
nitro.ucsc.edu/ speed test, I would be jumping with joy right now. They show that my speed is around 6.69mbps..on a 5mbps cap. Unfortunately, after getting all excited that Oceanic had "gifted" us with higher speed at no increased cost, I did a lot of tests and have learned that it is the infinitely CRAPPY Sun Java that is reporting the inflated speeds. MSJVM reports the speed correctly...ha, ha, ha...to all those who have criticized me for continuing to use MSJVM. I know MSJVM is correct for several reasons. I called Oceanic and was told there is no speed increase. I am capped at 5ms down. I have done many OOL speed tests and they all show 600-612KB/Sec down which fits with my 5ms cap. Sun Java is junk.
