Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 17024 Registered: Jun-04 | and I went from 13 megs down 1.5 up to 3 megs down to i forget up....then i found the updated drivers for my operating system and hit 13.7 down and 1.5 up on a 12 down 2 up plan.....i did this because on the drivers my brother had it on for his xp machine worked for my vista home but i kept losing my ip every couple of days but this fix is for vista home so hopefully no more drop outs.....whew.... i had a hard time finding the drivers because its an old motorolla surfboard modem model 4100 with docsis 1.0 made ages ago |

|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 17065 Registered: Jun-04 | dude you obviously didnt look at my speed increase from docsis 1.0 to 3.0 I gained 5 megs down and 2.5 up on the same 12/2 plan from what i read docsis 3.0 gives 2 to 3 megs more down over docsis 2.0 so you would benefit moving up |
|
Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 8632 Registered: Feb-06 | no i meant from comcast modems.. yeah that from wikipedia is a nice measuring table for docsis.. but is for raw... u havent taking notice that on your regular neighbor hood the more internet your neighbor are using the lower the speed it gets and that my friends is a fact |

We have an array of T3s thru Level 3 interent, a tier 3 provider which links us directly into the internet backbone. |
|
Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 17066 Registered: Jun-04 | im on comcast and my speeds were tested at various times of the day and i never get below 20 megs down and 4 megs up on the 12/2 plan by the way a docsis 1.0 modem is good for 35 - 38 meg plans i forget what docsis 2.0 is good for |
|
Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 8635 Registered: Feb-06 | yeah u might do speed test.. but what size of test your using?? a 100kb file?? LMAO and ping time is affected alot A disadvantage to using the cable modem that may manifest can be the trouble with bandwidth. The incredibly fast speeds displayed above occur under ideal conditions, figuring that the number of users is relatively small. With the increasing number of customers the amount of bandwidth decreases and makes the connections slower as the system tries to accommodate the needs of every user in the network. If this problem isn't addressed it could become very serious should the cable modem service become widespread. |

Platinum Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 17068 Registered: Jun-04 | well all that may be true but i know its tons faster than my 7 meg dsl plan i paid more for...verizon couldnt support more than that plan even with me having a dry loop.....sad and fios has been talked about but still not offered for my area almost since i moved here id say they have been talking about it for my area for the last 10 years...give or take a few and the minimum plan is 25 megs i believe......am i right their speeds are not like cable they are steady? |

|
Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 2032 Registered: Sep-09 | yeah but thats still your work connection not your home. i could have my buddy go to his NOC and do a speed test there and it would be insane but would not mean anything. |
