yeah not to mention i live in the middle of IL. heh im amazed i even have cable internet! wohoo!

 

[wyvrn]

Did you experience any service problems during the upgrade? My comcast service has been horrible the past week but support claims there aren't any issues in my area.

 

[vi edit]

I just noticed my DSL provider bumped me up from a 384 ADSL line to a full 1mb ADSL line.

:Q

Woohoo indeed!

:beer:!

Your company needs to contact NetScaler to purchase an sslvpn solution. Just watch Comcast try and block that!

 

[merlocka]

I just got the email too!

Ran DSLreports speedtest before and after rebooting modem.

1730/244 before
3500/251 after

I'll take it!

I'm in Chicago, just got the e-mail in the morning. Rebooted the modem but then no pages would load. Didn't have time to mess around with it. Will be nice to pull 3.5 on giganews

 

[Twista]

Well mines with from 215Kb to 290KB after reboot. Let me trying again. ok i ran from chi speedtest and get!

2004-01-29 15:14:26 EST: 3230 / 120
Your download speed : 3230060 bps, or 3230 kbps.
A 394.2 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 120751 bps, or 120 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!


about time for Chicago! Got email also! Text
We need a chicago base server to download a BIG file from to see our max speed.

When? I'm in the south sound area and I hadn't realized it kicked in yet, though I hear we were expecting it late January.

they've been working on the bay area for months now. they still haven't finished even half of the cities, but there's probably 15 or 20 that have the upgrade already.

I noticed a few month ago that my Rogers (same network IIRC) upgraded the speed like crazy... it has been soo much faster lately, i absolutely love it !
