Surprise, indeed. The article states that users are seeing 5/512...but it appears as if the "Premier" users are getting 5/768.
My speed tests are right around 4500/500. Not bad for $40 a month.

| Glad for those who got it.
I'm happy for all those people who are waking up today
(or some staying up all night) and finding you can indeed
still get something for nothing in this world.
And for the rest of us, who got left behind.. Now what?

| do I have cox???
I have a question... I have adelphia powerlink premier, and I live in richmond kentucky. Sometimes in my firewall logs adelphia will scan some ports... but sometimes it is COX... powerlink premier is 4MB down, 512 up. I have heard that adelphia selling, and that in my area that Cox may be buying it... I posted a thread in the adelphia forum yesterday, or the day before asking if anyone in my area has seen speed increases... cause over the weekend mine has went up a good amt. Last night my internet went out about 12:00, and it just came back on a little while ago... I got up this morning at 7 and was still out, so it came back on between 7 and 9..
Normally on the 64MB Ftp download speed test I would get anywhere from 400-500 -- at the highest... now mine is at least 500 and has went up to 600.. which is over the 4MB level. So now that I see that COX has upgraded, I'm wondering if I fall into this catagory.... does anyone have any info??? Anyone else have powerlink and had upgrades over the last couple of days??
And those of you that are on COX, did your internet go out last night?? Mine went out FRI. AND last night..
Thanx

Are you talking about Powerlink Premier?? Cause that is what I have and mine has been upgraded... makes me think that COX is indeed buying adelphia when they sell. Let me know... thanx |

I am glad they were atleast able to use my "MAC Clique" and "redhead step child" comments. That makes me feel a little bit better. I called Cox business services and wanted a list of all busines plans for this market. I am waiting for them in the electronic mail.
I guess variances shall continue until they go private and sell the MAC areas for the infusion of capital they will need when they lose the backing of all those shareholders and have to go out and bring in private investors.
Ah and here it is. This is what they have to offer me, since I am in this awful market...and I also assure you that business plans elsewhere vary from the ones they offer here.

Re: Wow
Stop by the Cox forum, and take a look at the news section. You will hear right from Cox Enterprises' CEO that Cox has no interest in Adelphia. CEI now wants to focus on keeping Cox on track to go private.

No, your Powerlink speeds have nothing to do with this. Cox has not taken over any Adelphia areas.

Of course they do...but this is HIS market. That's the ridiculous crap they offer in HIS market. Seriously, can you HONESTLY tell me you'd be happy with the crap they put up with in MAC? I KNOW you would not be.

Re: Disappointments continue...
MAC area customers, the ones atleast in Louisiana, are subject to those. You either do residential, which is 59.95 for 1024/128. All residential, unless you go with their lite plan, which is 128/128.
If you want anything faster, you have to go through CBS, and in this market, SWLA on up to Central and Northern Louisiana; those are your choices.
That is it. The next step would be Cox Optical.
And no, it does not matter how unhappy I am. I require Internet access. It is not an issue that is up for debate. My choices where I live are Cox Commuications, or satellite. Bellsouth's ADSL only covers specific portions of the city, and last I heard, they stopped their buildout to work on legal issues with people who were buying the ADSL service, and then turning around and reselling the service. |

Adelphia must have upgraded also this weekend. Cause I have NEVER got speeds this high. And it has been like this since Sat. So I hope that it stays like this. |

With wide eyes and anticipation of my speed test results showing that long red line climbing past the 1mb barrier, 2mb, possibly even 3, I woke at dawn and ran to my computer. Like a child on Christmas morning, hoping Santa Cox would bring me the present I have been wishing for. I eagerly awaited for the computer to come on and then the speed test results.
978 down 115 up.
Still the same old slow speed for us in northwest Arkansas.

| I am happy with my raised caps.
I currently was on the 3000/256 tier and Cox upped my speeds to 5000/512 last night at 11pm CST because my modem rebooted twice. The download speed is between 4400 to 4700Kbps and 435-509Kbps up. Webpages load very fast by the time that I click on the mouse, it's because I have been used to 3000/256 since September 2001 that I don't know how it's like to have anything faster than 3000/256. Premier tier is capped at 5000/768, I'm not sure on value tier. I feel very bad for the redhead stepchildren of Cox MAC. If I lived in Cox MAC, I would move somewhere that have real broadband speeds. |
