once again, i'm sure there is someone else on this forum from nashville, tn, area who is also using comcast cable modem. can someone please confirm whether it's been upgraded to 3Mbps?
thanks!
thanks!
TheDoug!! It's been ages! I coulda figgurd you'd get the letter from hell. So how many movies is that? 1,000... 2,000... lol
:beer::beer:
edit: just tested at 3399/247 a couple of minutes ago - woohoo!
West Jordan, UT is upgraded to 3mbps (at least my area). dslreports shows me as 3218dn / 245up kbps, and a realtime transfer is pushing a solid 3.34 mbps. 41.5MB file download = 39MB 387.4KB/s 01:44 min). Still slow compared to @Home, when it would push 4.4mbps, and only paying $42.00 a month... Oh well
Draper, UT is upgraded also. Just rebooted my modem and I'm getting anything from 2.6Mbps down/250kbps up to 3.1Mbps down/250kbps up depending on who's bandwidth meter I'm using.
Sup Daclayman - long time no see. hahah. Anyway, no, not 1000 movies. Its been a lot of BitTorrenting, which i think was the problem... Too much upload. I had this thing running 24/7 for all of December uploading at 20k/sec. THATS probably what did it. So I killed BT, and have gone real lean on d/ls... Installed BWMeter (BTW - this prog rox, since it can filter between LAN and INet traffic) So far, I'm averaging 5 gigs per week (still got to get my TV Shows)
Yeah, thats a negative. I cant even get DOCSISDiag to run on this POS RCA DCM-100. ITs frickin ancient.
As Tiembo and Fallen Kell Said, there is some very interesting discussion on DSLReports about this. Seems they havent been getting around to this until now because of the ATTBI thing... they wanted to get everything there working smootly first then go on to it.
Now unlike most people's reports/rants you'll read about on DSLReports, I will admit to actually over-using the service. As mentioned in my previous post, I have had BitTorrent on 24/7 on my server for the entire month of December. While i dont have concrete numbers, i had to have been around 200-400GB down that month with around 50GB (20k/sec for 30 days) up. Been downloading lots and lots of games and programs, listening to streaming music, webpage work, etc, etc
Also as stated in my previous post, I think it mostly had to do with the uploading. I used to pull 100's of gigs per month from usenet when there were DVDRips of TV shows out that i wanted. There was never any problem then.
Real fun part is by the time u get this letter, you're already half way thru the next month (January) without knowing this letter was coming to greet you. So for this month i'm keeping it REALLY lean
Feb i'll start d/ling some more, not u/l anywhere near i was (sorry BT users - but i've got to become a leeching whore [btw i am trying to not d/l anything off BT unless absolutely necessary lol])So, you normal users should have no problem, but it sounds like there becoming more of a biznatch lately. Sadly I doubt I can get DSL, and even if i could, i'm 18500ft away... 18000 is pretty much the limit for ADSL... so even if i could get it, itd' be slow as hell, which would still work, since they could care less about what i'm d/ling.
Whats the point of the speed upgrade if u cant use it? eh???
If you're in a legacy-ATTBI area use "uuu9xzr5"
Otherwise "hDaFHJG7"
Sadly, DOCSISDiag wont recognize mine at all

I just tested again here in North Portland. NO CHANGE--still sitting at 1.7Mbps
However, an interesting thing did happen... When I reset the modem I picked up an old IP address from the ATTBI range. I doubt that indicates anything of any importance... but it did surprise me.
Oh well... gonna move in a week... hopefully my new neighborhood will already be at 3Mbps!

I just signed up for service at a new location and got a chance to ask about the schedule for the upgrade here in Portland. They said that they rescheduled the upgrade to take place on Feb. 5. I don't know how reputable this information is--it is just an unofficial report from a sales rep, so take it with a grain of salt. I asked her to forward me the email she got from 'higher-up' explaining when the upgrade would happen and she said she would... but I haven't seen any emails yet...
Just FYI

Your download speed : 3186685 bps, or 3186 kbps.
A 388.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 249003 bps, or 249 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

Same here in Salem. Got a message on my HD box, but no email from Comcrap. I hardly ever remember to check those messages either.
Unplugged modem for a couple of seconds and poof, I'm downloading at 3 Mbps.
Wooo hoooo!!! Looks like Nashville, TN is now at 3Mbps!! Ran the following tests:
http://www.dslreports.com/stest (results: 2986k/sec)
http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/ (results: 3.1Mbps)
Bring on the pr0n!!!!
Can anyone else in Nashville confirm they're getting the same results?

Looks like L.A. got updated...I'm in Hollywood and I'm getting 3464 / 215, nice little increase.
HOLY CRAP!!!!
I was out at my Brother's this weekend, helping to get his Mother-in-law networked and un-spyware/malware/virus'ing his computer. I had heard that Comcast had done their upgrades in the area (Ellicott City, MD) so I thought that I'd do a test.
I went to the dslreports speed test things...but got pretty poor readings... about 500Kb/s down and 200kb/s up. But then I was also getting errors saying that their servers were busy. So... I thought I'd try something else.
I knew of a 14MB video file that was sitting on a very fat T3 line (45MB/s) so I thought I'd see what speed my brother had.
About 25 seconds later I knew!
WOW.... the file came down at a WHOPPING 574KB/s! That's about three and a half times the speed of a T1!... and for no additonal bucks!
Just had to post it.... I actually started giggling like a giddy little school girl when I was watching the download because it was just so incredible.
That's all.... just had to share.
