[HSI] Speed Increase

I can't explain it but my speed have jumped from about 6 Mbps to over 10 Mbps in the last week or so. Is this a Comcast takeover effect? Whatever it is I'll take it. Thanks again PatMedia for selling out.

Re: [HSI] Speed Increase

I've never had these speeds. Not only has the speed increased but it seems to be much more consistent. My old speeds would fluctuate from 7 to 3Mbps depending on the time of day and traffic. Now my speed seems to be solid at 10+. I've complained many times on this forum and now I want to applaud the cable company for finally doing something right.

Strange - here in Hunterdon. Last night HSI was down for about 10 minutes at midnight. Since then speeds have doubled - 20 down and 2 up. I had never seen better than 11 down and of course 1 up.

I confirm that there has been another speed increase. I'm seeing 15/2.5 this morning. This is faster than I've ever seen. I love it. :)

At first, everything seemed to be getting speedier. Now, at home, my download/upload is stuck at 1mbit/1mbit. Wonderful.

At work, where we have (had) a business patriot media account, we cannot seem to connect to the internet, yet we can remote in. We cannot process credit cards without the internet working properly. Today, we will lose money due to Comcast.

If you have a pc with a modem, you could signup for a netzero account. We have that for just such an occurrence.

Re: [HSI] Speed Increase

now I'm posting from my iPhone - comcast has not done anything to make sure that business customers with a static ip are taken care of, it seems. I could probably put in a modem into one of our boxes, but our phone lines are virtualized, so we really only have 2 lines coming in... its just a big pain in the ass

Re: [HSI] Speed Increase

After calling and finally getting thru to someone that actually cared, I'm posting from work now. Also, internet speeds seem to be in the 30/2 range, which is about 5/5 higher than patmedia's business class speeds. :D

Re: [HSI] Speed Increase

Is anyone else noticing a speed reduction tonight. My speeds usually stay around 13/1.8. But, now are running consistantly around 9.5/.9. Per Comcast they are performing router change overs from Patriot. But, I wonder if they have change my HSI plan?? :(

Very slow download speeds these past few days (under 1Mb). Anyone else see this in the Montgomery area?

Thanks....

Re: [HSI] Speed Increase

Spoke to tech support this morning. Evidently Comcast is having issues converting over the Patmedia HSI customers. They said I am temporary on the 10/1 plan because of the
issues, and I should check back in about a week. It is noted on my account that I should be on the 15/2 plan. I'll bet they come back to me and say because of my location in Branchburg all I can get is 10/1. :(

Re: [HSI] Speed Increase

Woot! Cruising faster then I ever have before. Hitting around 25/2. Had some issues initially, if you are you might want to try rebooting your router and modem a few times, took a few reboots for things to settle in.
I am one of the few that has a grandfathered static IP from the days when Patmedia was RCN, Ive had this IP for forever, and I complained initially, the day I got my email saying I would lose it, and I received a call from a representative from comcast, worked a deal out to the point he faxed me some paperwork to sign, I faxed it back, now my prices stay the same, I have my static IP, and my speeds are way faster. Im happy! Cant believe Im saying that with what ive heard about Comcast. Hope it lasts, but then, I do have a signed contract :D

I just ran a speed test to nyc.speakeasy.net. I live in branchburg and got 25315 kbps down and 2004 kbps up. Seems rock solid to me.

I'm on Windy Willow Way as well. My service was out for three days before they finally fixed it. I'm only getting 10/2 right now. I'm pretty frustrated with this whole Comcast nonsense...

I am also in WWW. I'm getting 10/1. Service has not gone out but disappointed with speed decrease. I will be calling Comcast/Patriot mid week to discuss my situation. Was told to contact sales department.

I am getting unusually fast speeds here in Hillsborough with

Download Speed: 20466 kbps (2558.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 2604 kbps (325.5 KB/sec transfer rate)

I wonder how long this will last? Fine with me...

Hey guys, when comcast is finished with the takeover will they start throttling and capping the patriot media customers like they do their own?

No FIOS for us!

I've been keeping tabs on FIOS and it looks like the WWW neighborhood will not be getting FIOS any time soon. FIOS is installed and running across 202 (near Old York School), but not here. No idea why. Verizon couldn't give me an answer as to why they have no foreseeable plans to install it here.

The moment FIOS comes to our neighborhood, I'm on it.

Hey, wait a minute...

When I test to the Parsippany site, I get around 10MB or so. When I test to the NYC site I get around 19MB or so. But the NYC site says that it can't handle more than 10MB, so what's going on? Extrapolating speed based on what it measures (i.e., if it's 8.5MB they extrapolate 17MB)...

Anyway, I'd like to see some reliable results based on real-world downloads.

Comcast Conversion

Spoke to Comcast tech support this morning. They said there is an issue with my line and a tech needs to come to the house. Per sales dept I should be getting 15/2 for my speed but line issue is causing slow down. Have to wait until 5/6 for tech to come. I think part of the issue is I own my own modem and in the conversion they decide to set my speed to 10/1 because they did not know the MAC address. That's just my suspicion as nothing has changed as my home with the exception of Comcast changing my server (IP address).

Comcast tech support called me tonight. The issue was with my modem. As part of the conversion, system had two modems assigned to my account. Tech needed to update account info
with my owned modem info.

I'm very satisfied with the new speeds. I would be very unhappy if the speeds go down as the takeover settles in.

They password protected all the modems. This way we cant diagnosis our own problems. Its just comcastic! :(

I can't seem to figure out what the benefit of doing so is. Surely fixing your own problem will save comcast the trouble of using their employees..?
