I guess the perplexing question is, why NOLA and not other major markets like AZ, OK, FL, etc?
NOLA might be a "test market"... More likely than not, NOLA got picked to test new tiers that might make their way to other markets.

Rob,
We have been working hard before and since that little Hurricane called Katrina....

We were on track in New Orleans to make great strides and then were side tracked a little. We were back up and running within a short period of time (read days in some cases and 1.5 weeks in most cases) after the hurricane. Our backbone was up within a couple of days. And we have not stopped moving forward ever since, even with the loss of personnel.

We have many days and nights of work scheduled to continue to grow our network and maintain it's stability.

Also, to the person that asked about cable and fiber. We have fiber at least out to the node and in most cases past the node to other active devices.... This is the way cable has been designed for years.

I'd say your speed test is flawed unless you're on the super secret DOCSIS 3.0.

Yet when I try to send a big file to my dad, I have to cap the upload speed to below 512k so I have some UL left for the control packets for other stuff.

Anyone know if other areas (such as San Diego) will be getting these new speeds, and, if so, the approximate time-frame?
I hope soon, we haven't gotten an increase in speed since around Nov. 2006, not counting Powerboost that we got almost a year ago.
