Seeing how Ripper said "Stuart people got the transition", and then Joepwpb who is in West Palm Beach got transitioned, I think they are working this whole thing from North to South. Unless someone in Delray, Boynton or Lantana has been done earlier than today or yesterday I think folks at central and south Palm Beach County still have at least 1-2 more days to go.... And if so I'll probably be the last beause I am about 1500ft North of Broward/PB county line :)
I'm in Jupiter, was awake about 2am, decided to reboot, got my new ip (76.xxx.xxx.xx).
You have no latency.
Dont worry about the tests.
hmm....
mine is the same though on newsleecher i can get 700 instead of the normal 500-600 so i am happy with it.
Those numbers are exactly what I use to get with an Adelphia IP. Rock solid numbers for years!!
Only reason I ask... notice the speedtest.net result for me - shows I am now 1300 mi from Ft Lauderdale while your test correctly shows ~50 mi, which is what the old Adelphia ip showed for me. (as Hob and Ripper explained earlier, zerostar's new ip from Stuart and my new ip reverse dns address probably has not been updated for the correct geography).
fwiw, when I did my 2am modem reset, actually shut down my modem, router and computer for a couple of minutes before restarting, not just a warm boot.
Dunno enough about this stuff to know for sure what's causing the difference though. Good Luck.
those are the speeds i have been getting for awhile (what i posted before). ip address: 24.49.31.xxx . i am going to try and shut down the PC as well for a bit, i guess well see what happens. wish me luck! :D
i have restarted the modem, PC and the router. i am still getting the same exact speeds i have been getting for years. bah :(
btw, i have a guy coming out to my house this friday to fix my random disconnect issue. i guess ill ask him and see what he says.
i got a 76.xxx.xxx ip.
It seems to me that there must be something amiss because nobody so far has posted the level of latency that I have and we are all using the same speed test site. You must know something I don't...so what is it??
I am an Adelphia customer now moved to Comcast in Boynton Beach. My Linksys Vonage router stopped working on 21 Mar 2007 and now continues to not work for neither VOIP telephoning nor internet surfing. Service call man came says that it is my problem. One can link view the internal network and see ip addresses, gateways etc., but not get to the internet. Of course Comcast maintains that it is my problem, although it has been working well for over a year and coincidentally they are 'transitioning' until (supposedly) worst-case date of 29 Mar 2007. On 10 Mar 2007 until 16 Mar 2007 it also was down. Also, supposedly my fault and then it magically started working after a service call technician 'adjusted' the splitter.
This is in Boynton Beach (Leisureville). Any others having trouble there? E.g. my phone lights on the router are out, but the internet light is on, although as mentioned above neither internet nor VOIP works. My neighbor just signed up for Comcast and never had Adelphia and he has been mostly ok, but not completely.
Back in the supposedly bad old days before Ronald Reagan screwed up the phone company via deregulation this kind of crap did not happen. One would have a doubled up system and then on changeover it would be a toggle over to the new system. It was also cheaper than today, so much for the actual benefits of the 'free market' when it is really just a 'free market' for the cronies.
I agree 100% with your views on the breakup of AT&T by Ronnie, that was a stupid thing to do I believe, and while at first it may have helped things, it has created the free for all market we have now.
What the heck does this have to do with an Adelphia Migration in Florida.
This is a cable forum not a telco one....
Thank you Hob, your input has been heard and noted.
Good....we have OT forums for political crap and Telco forums for Telco discussions.
This is cable.
"I am an Adelphia customer now moved to Comcast in Boynton Beach. My Linksys Vonage router stopped working on 21 Mar 2007 and now continues to not work for neither VOIP telephoning nor internet surfing. Service call man came says that it is my problem."
In most cases this is true. If you are able to connect to the web with something other than the router then it would be logical that it is your equipment.
However this is the second time I have heard about a similar issue. Try cloning the Mac address of the router to the Mac address that can connect.
and BTW this is a cable forum....telco deregulation belongs elsewhere.
You do realize you are taking it even more off-topic by responding to my off-topic post with another off-topic post?
Looks like here in Wellington we are now Comcast! I lost conenction at 12:30am and rebooted the modem and now have a
76.108.xxx.xxx IP. Speeds are slow but i'm sure thats normal for just being switched over. Hope the rest of you fair well too. :)
The same to you fastracer! They've converted everything of ours over to Comcast (our email, account, etc. are all now Comcast), except the network, we're still on legacy Adelphia stuff with legacy Adelphia config files. It looks like our actual network will be the very last thing they convert, though I would've thought it was the first, strange.
Speeds went way up in the last few minutes. I'm on a standard account.
The local server showed Kansas City as my local server also. As Hob mentioned this will change soon.
It looks like my speeds are down this morning as compared to yesterday but it's not "offical" yet.
Jeez, flames off dudes and thanks for the suggestions. It is not off-topic the points being about AT&T break-up is that Comcast is dumping on customers in its 'normal' business processes that would have been illegal before deregulation and Comcast is providing/selling communication services. We should not even be aware that it is happening let alone aware and effected by it.
Again, thanks for the suggestions.
As of 12:50 EDT all is working again with no changes to the router info on my part. IOW Comcast telling me all last week and weekend that it was my problem and my errors of equipment/configuration has been proven to be the bull that I suspected. You might want to keep that in mind before changing any of your own configurations.
Today has been a sloooow day. Web pages partially load. Speeds are down to dial up speeds. Upload test speeds all fail.
Speedtest.net reports 140 kbps down. Upload hangs-no result.
I guess this is all expected with the transition. Hopefully we'll be back up and running soon!
Good to hear. The largest migration of cable customers ever does indeed throw up some issues that are complicated.
Actually, my situation has improved from this morning.
Mine has increased by a lot. I was out most of the afternoon and when I came back speeds are back to normal...actually quite fast on the download :p
Still nothing in Boca..
fastracer those speeds look like speedboost..
So does anyone official care to comment on my thoughts on speed after the transition for Adel 6/768 customers? I'm still waiting.
Customers that recieve the 6000Mb/768Kb will go to 6000Mb powerboost/384Kb and the premier charge will be removed.That kinda stinks cuz their taking away some of my upload.We won't be able to get 768Kb back until april in the Palm Beach County area.
Came home at 5:30 and HSI was down, reset everything but still eveything's on Adelphia. My speeds are also horribly slow. UL is good but DL is baaad.
Checking my modem logs, modem went out around 12 am and was back on in about 10 minutes this morning.
Received a new ip address and speeds are similar as they were before.
Pings are high at the ATT and Level 3 peering points though.
There is no one "official" in here.
speeds are still the same. i tried resetting my modem again, still nothing.
Motorola Sb5101 and a D-link DGL-4300.
Would someone care to interpret? Does it have anything to do with the transition?
if you are wondering i did try to connect the modem straight to the computer, still the same speeds.
What are the first 2 numbers of your ip,mine is still 69.xx.xxx.xx. No change here yet.
24.xx.xx.xxx . HPC lives in jupiter as well and hes gotten the new speeds. i will ask them when they come out on friday.
said by KhaosCustomers that recieve the 6000Mb/768Kb will go to 6000Mb powerboost/384Kb and the premier charge will be removed.That kinda stinks cuz their taking away some of my upload.We won't be able to get 768Kb back until april in the Palm Beach County area.
[/BQUOTE :Well I just spoke with a rep who claimed they recently had a meeting about this. He claimed that in this meeting they were told Adel 4MB customer will be upgraded to 6/768 for free and all current Adel Premiere 6/768 customers would stay the same (kind of). He then went on to tell me that they said in a few weeks time all old Adel Premiere 6/768 customers would be upgraded to 8/768 similar to service currently available in Martin County. When I asked about caps and pricing for premiere customers he gave me a phone number to some HSI management department where I've been on hold for a bit.

johndoe303 @ 26th Mar 08:08PM:Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transitionWell I just got off the phone with the management rep.. He explained what is happening with the speed and why we're still transitioning. All current 4MB customers will have the option to go 6/768. By option that means that 6/768 will be available everywhere after the transition.. I didn't know it wasn't available anywhere in Florida but oh well. All current Premiere customers will technically lose speed (lower caps) but stay the same for a few more weeks. Within the next few weeks we should be upgraded or offered the 8/768 tier. He wasn't sure if it would happen automatically or if it would be for a price increase.
As for why the transition is going on still he said that some self proclaimed geniuses in the Comcast IP department screwed up. Without getting into it they flipped the switch on something that didn't work as they thought it would. Because of this users all over the county are having different issues and results. He said the expected competition of transition at this point in time is either 12am tonight or 12pm tomorrow based on location. I imagine this means North to South as that is how they attempted to transition the county.
Hob I meant to thank you for your usual attempt at help earlier.. I thought Comcast had representation on these boards and I'm pretty sure some of them have posted in these forums. Either way, somebody had to know something and I found out for myself. So thanks for nothing. :D

I dont think powerboost is controlled at the config file or modem level.

I have a question?What level of service do you have because if you tell me that you have the "Basic HSI" which is like 256K/down/384K/up then you are getting what you pay for.How much is your HSI charge,$42.99 or $24.99.What does it say on your bill?

Edit-We're 170 miles north of San Jose, but that's Comcast's peering point for the North Bay (Sonoma, Marin, Napa, Mendocino Counties) network. I am sure they have others, but that's where all of our traffic seems to go from here.

I am not sure what you mean.
Speed tests are subjective dependent on routing and backbone capacity, most of which fluctuates. While you now peer with San Jose, you may indeed be competing with more traffic to that test server. A direct route with LA and better peering can indeed show a better speed result.
Hope this clarifys what I was trying to say.

RChris173 @ 14th Apr 06:51AM:Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transitionI had 4 / 384 with Adelphia, then when I became "comcast", I got a new IP (76.110.*.*) and 6 / 384. That occured a few weeks ago. Then I called Comcast every day asking them if I could upgrade to the 8mbps plan. I called once per day until someone said the codes were available. Finally the code was available and he put it on my account.
It costs $10 more: $52.95 for 8mbps/786 up.
The auctual speed from speakeasy averages around ~7.6 down & 706 up.
Still no sign of powerboost :(

speedtest.frontiernet.net/ On the 8000 tier, anything above about 8800 is PowerBoost, I'm not sure on the upload, but probably around 900 and and above. I would try several tests from different sites, sometimes one test won't show it, but another will. One of the best is the OOL FTP test, watch the download rate, here's the link-

johndoe303 @ 18th Apr 06:37PM:Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transitionThat is just PowerBoost.. My issue is with my reported latency, powerboost peak speed, and Comcast phone representatives. My latency has been horrible ever since the transition and I hope it gets better with time. As for my peak speeds I see users in the area on the 8Mb tier seeing much higher peaks. My concerns are how I went from the top 99% of download speeds with Adelphia to mid/average with Comcast. Then there's the people at the call centers which I'd rather not get into. All I'll say is that I also hope they get better with time.

Ripper @ 21st Apr 08:34AM:Re: West Palm Beach FL. area / HSI transitionThe main difference between Adelphia and Comcast speeds is the caps.Adelphia had the caps way above the advertised speeds on down and upload,so you always would get above the advertised speeds on tests.On the other hand Comcast only has caps above advertised on download,so your upload speeds are always going to be lower than the advertised upload(without PowerBoost).Adelphia 384/4000=caps 463/4823, Comcast 384/6000= 384/6600.
