How do you explain CV making the changes in CT where there is no Verizon? It is Verizon reacting to CV - they are the ones that have "special pricing" for the CV service area. CV has the same pricing/speeds everywhere.

lol..keep thinking CV would have provided all these speed increases free of Charge without Verizon around...Are you bitter that Verizon is not as interested in CT yet?

This never would have happened in a million years with the greedy Dolans. They are desperately trying to keep pace by stretching an already overburdened network capacity to its limit. Verizon has much more headroom than CV will have, and is better prepared for a bandwidth war as well as a price war. Remember, people are itching to leave CV once Verizons complete package is available....many will switch because they are simply tired of CV's arrogance throughout the years...and I will certainly be one of them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16913472 Sat, 16 Sep 2006 06:00:18 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16913123 LiberalKing :

It would be pretty tough for CV to lower the price in certain areas. Their geographic area is much smaller than Verizon. While FIOS isn't rolled out to anywhere near the amount of people CV has, it is over a much larger geographic area with many different competing companies.

Let's not turn this into a CV VS VERIZON debate. I'm simply noting the wonderful revolution that is going on here because two companies are going neck and neck.

That's not true. They provision higher on the download to compensate for overheard but not on upload. Look at the speed reports that you referenced and you'd see the download is usually around the "cap" but the upload is less.

As an example, here's my results just run on the NYC test. My tier is 20/5:
Download Speed: 20155 kbps (2519.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 4486 kbps (560.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

Yeah but at least we can actually achieve our upstream :P

Fiber isn't deployed everywhere, so Verizon can't apply the "same logic".
OOL is deployed over largely pre-existing physical plant and infrastructure.

As for the bitch factor - people understand that fiber is still being laid down, and they can't get the service until that happens. I'm sure they bitch about that....

As for your "better engineers" comment - I have no idea what you're trying to get at there.....

Too bad so far this competition is useless -- most people would rather see cost cuts than increases in speed.. For those that want the increase in speed, that should be available for a premium price (ala Boost), but for anyone else -- youre still paying the same 44.95 or 49.95 per month for OOL..

i have port 80/25 open.
i am now testing to see if the 128k cap is placed at level other than the modem, but early predictions seem to indicate the cap is not there.
i have not tested port 25 yet, but its my understanding that port is not speed-limited.

Is there a way with docsisdiag to view the port 80 cap?

Yeah, if you use the -vvv switch there should be a line that specifies Port80-US and a value, the value is the upstream on Port 80.

They are banking on the fact that people won't bother switching if speeds are close to "advertised" and don't have to be actual, and going for the knockout blow. The average person would not be as anal as we are. They always talk well when it comes to making things seem much better than they are and twisting perceptions in their favor, and they are very experienced in that, but fail miserably on backing them words up....trust me, I know.

It is obvious they are doing all they can (even if affects their network) besides actually upgrading infrastructure, to keep Verizon away. But if we do an actual head to head speed comparisons, FIOS is much closer to advertised speeds, and the fluctuation is much less drastic....

To add further, if you are on a problem node...well things will only get worse...nothing but the usual headaches. I will say it again as I have in the past, they couldn't get their 10/1 service back in the day working as it should what makes you think things will be different now, especially since they are rushing each upgrade to match verizon...where are the upgrades that go with that increase?


I remember the days of overcrowded nodes, and overutilized UBR's, where utilization was 90% or higher giving them huge headaches..and they still exist. Of course we could never admit any of it to all of you. I remember all this right before they began capping, where certain nodes were constanly going down or were down to a crawl and it took forever to figure out why, then when they knew, they took forever correcting the issue in splitting nodes and adding UBR's all because of cost. Why would things change now without the neccessary upgrades they need...and unless they do so, what do you think will happen? You'll be here every day complaining about the speeds you aren't getting.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16903778 Thu, 14 Sep 2006 17:58:34 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16903746 Thinkdiff :

If it can handle 25mbps down, you would think it would handle 2.6 up.

At any rate, the 30/5 that is really 23/2.6 is an improvement from the 23/1.6 for the same price.

Unless they can show something over 4mbps upload, I think they are going to be in trouble if they advertise it as 30/5. That is too big a gap to just explain away - they may get away with it legally, but I think the consumer backlash will outweigh the benefit.

Why not call it 30/3 even though they are provisioning the modem at 30/5? When they can get over 3mbps consistently, they can call it 30/4, and when they are over 4mbps call it 30/5.

Or what the hell - why not just call it pretty much what it is: 25/3?

I'll Cablevision the benefit of the doubt, and am hoping that upgrades/adjustments will be taking place to help those of us who subscribe to Boost achieve somewhere close to what Verizon 5mbit tier people are achieving, and that is anywhere around 4500kbps.

I'm sure that it's something that needs to be adjusted due to the fact that Docsis 2.0 can easily accomodate this upload tier, and I doubt my lackluster 5mbit "2600kbps" performance is not due to local node congestion.

Let's see what happens...

1850kbps+700kbps a 5mbit upgrade does not make.

Dave.

I agree, but the original poster works for OOL. It has not been publicly announced and no one knows whether Engineering needs to make adjustments. It may turn out to be a bad marketing stunt. If no one can get near 5mbps it will actually hurt if they market it as 30/5.

Well technically it IS 5mbit since they upped the caps on the modem to 5mbit, doesn't mean their network has the infrastructure in place to handle that speed though. At this point they are desperately trying to match Verizon.

My question is why aren't we seeing higher speeds. I can't get a speed test to go above 2600kbps or so.

I will be trying a multithreaded upload. Lets see if I can saturate 5mb.

Dave

edit: Tried to saturate it with Bittorrent. 2.6mbit or so is the highest I can go. Tried to saturate it with ftp uploads. Same story.

FIOS users get 4500kbps on the 5mbit up tiers.. 2600kbps is not impressive at all for a supposedly 5mbit line.

Sorry, but this just doesn't cut the mustard as an "upgrade". Maybe if they do some REAL upgrades and spend some $.

See below ;)
Im gonna go out on a limb here and post the exact response I had received from Wilt on this several months back when I inquired...

Specifically:

Instrumentation and tool based; the QOS for the modems, Voice services, is
derived from Docsis 1.1 and that's currently all the number you're seeing
means.
BOOST is a separate channel and does run at DOCSIS 2.0 and has a certain
set of modems, like the Moto 5120, that are "cleared" for it--in other
words, 2.0 capable.
Some people are confusing BOOST and the new service level of OOL normal, so
that's part of it.
Some modems that we didn't "approve" for the 15meg service are actually
capable of coming close, running high 13s or low 14s, but close isn't what
we specified.
If performance of 14meg is good enough and you're happy--the editorial
voice here--with the modem then changing for 1 meg or so is up to the user,
but as far as specs go, we spec'd modems that would pass 15/2.

I have Fios 30/5 and its killer, I would never go back to cablevision until their uptime improves. My friends Optonline died last night and is still down, no phone (voip), no internet .

My OOL hasn't gone out for more than a couple hours in years. in fact, I don't think it's ever been out more than 2 hours. Last time i had any downtime was about 8 months ago for 30 minutes.

The sad thing is.. there is no FIOS 30/5 package anymore.

Not sure how the FIOS 50 service compares to optonlines 30/5 pricing.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897176 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 18:02:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897058 RARPSL :

Orange County is usually rolled into all of NJ. It'll probably be like when a new channel is added. The new channel or in this case service upgrade occurs on the last day. I live in Matamoras, PA which shares a system with Warwick, NY and Montague, NJ.

I'm in Suffern in Rockland County (West of Westchester) and I'm serviced by the Mahwah NJ System (the other half of my town and the rest of Rockland is another CV system serviced I think from Westchester). I assume that I'll get my speed roll with NJ.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16897058 Wed, 13 Sep 2006 17:43:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16896105 sunny8294 : Well, it is good to have something free atleast they are not charging to boost up the boost service. Now, I'd rather have the 2mbps upload speed with no caps than having 5 mbps of upload with caps on ports. But, good to see that atleast they are trying to keep their (can I say valued?) customers.

I looked back at some other posts, it may be that they have been running at 10mbps on the upstream channels. I would assume though since Boost requires a Docsis 2.0 modem that they will run at 2.0 and above 10mbps as part of the upgrade but I have been wrong before.

I guess we'll know by tomorrow, right? According to the release, all of L.I. should be live then.

This does suggest we have FIOS to thank.
