A lot of you hate the cable company, me included. I have the full meal deal in services. Not just triple play but the 4 bagger as well with xfinity home security. I did a speed test on my ethernet connected computer not thinking there would be a change. Previously it was 240mbps down and 12-15mbps up. This time Around 460's to mid 480's mbps down and 6-7mbps up. So they cut the upload speed in half and at least doubled my download speed.
My question. I have a DOSCIS 3.0 cable modem. I think it's a tecnicolor model. I did not think the modem could push that much speed and I think there may be some speed leftover on the table. Should I have the xfinity van come out and install a DOSCIS 3.1 modem?
Does anybody have a DOSCIS 3.0 modem that pushes 480mbps down or more. I know the theoretical max speed of DOSCIS 3.0 is somewhere around 1200mbps but that is with something like a 24 channel or 32 channel modem. Even at theoretical maximum speeds you usually only get half of that in real world performance.
I downloaded a steam game with peak sustained speeds of 55MB.
Thoughts and anybody with DOSCIS 3.0 speeds faster than 500mbps.
