Re: [Speed] Higher upload PowerBoost?
So all that it requires to be upgraded from D 1.1 to 2.0 is a CMTS upgrade? Is Docsis 2.0 neccesary to see the supposed new 22/5 tier, or can that be achieved on D 1.1? |

said by Johkal  :I hadn't realized you moved. Where were you before? I was in an apartment at Broadlands in Ashburn. Moved into a house in Reston. Only a 15 mile move, but it was from a very new area to a more established neighborhood. This house was built in 1964 and all of the wiring in the area is above ground, while Ashburn's was almost exclusively buried and relatively new. |

I requested a seperate modem for my phone and internet service, the tech told me they are not allowed to do that(I know he was full of it)so I am here waiting for this old 402P to go out on me, thats what they said had to happen for me to get a newer modem, or cancel my phone service. Some service I tell ya. Ive had this modem since I first got comcast back in 2005. |

I must state that I do however have 2 modems, the only reason is because when I upgraded to 8mpbs, they said that CDV modem would not handle the 8mbps. |

Finally some success, called Comcast again, talked to a really nice lady who said our Arris402P is the reason we are having problems with our speed. She continued to say that particular modem is for the slower comcast tiers and she is sending out a tech tomorrow with an ArrisTM602G. I hope that fixes our problem with us not getting powerboost. |

| I have the TM502G, only one phone rep was kind enough to tell me that it was problematic with Blast, and she was amazed that 8mbps worked on it.
Hope the 602 fixes it for you!

4 edits | I have been testing way higher than normal on the upload side starting today, I never really get a good result on this site for download though. And this is with the Arris TM502G that was just replaced for me the other day. And yes it is only powerboost, lasts for about 20 seconds then back to 2.2Mb/s

1 edit | Cool!
Many of us do not see decent(comparable) upload speeds as we get with separate HSI modems.
EDIT: Nope. ARRIS is still choking and ouking here:

Upload powerboost finally works on Arris Emta! |
said by K3 :I have been testing way higher than normal on the upload side starting today, I never really get a good result on this site for download though. And this is with the Arris TM502G that was just replaced for me the other day. And yes it is only powerboost, lasts for about 20 seconds then back to 2.2Mb/s After reading your post I tested my TM502G @ speakeasy, same result as before 2.2mbps no powerboost. (My real life speeds are actually below 2mbps).
But since I had noticed earlier this month that the modem's HW/FW page went from DOCSIS 1.1 to 2.0 for the reported system but the modulation remained QAM16 (TDMA) for the upstream, I decided to reset the modem again to check if it would change my modulation ... no change.
BUT when I tested again @ speakeasy 3.3mbps ... Wooohooo 
Not trusting speed tests and their inconsistent results, I tried an upload to my online drive (XDrive), and sure enough powerboost phase between 3-3.3mbps and at the end leveled of to a nice stable 2mbps (attached graphic). In the past I used to only get 1.8mbps with XDrive and no powerboost.
I wonder if I would be seeing the 6mbps upload boosts others are seeing if I had something other than the Arris Emta! |

4 edits | It will work with the Arris Emta if they have upgraded your area. Another thing the tech did when he replaced my modem was replace my aerial drop. The original drop was from the cablevision days, I would say 1998 was when they put the line in originally. They replaced it with this supercable, lol. It is, I would say 3 times thicker than the coax going into my modem. I have never seen a cable like this so maybe this is another reason for my faster speeds.

2 edits | The Arris has been un-f***ed indeed
K3, I see. I'll keep an eye out for the insane upload powerboost speeds if we ever get them here.
I'm in an apartment building. Between me and the tap there's probably around 50feet (distance to fire escape stairs where the cable box is), and my cable on the tap is a regular coax, the type that you'd see used for in home runs. But I don't think it would matter much for such a short run.
Drops haven't been changed during the time I lived here (I moved here ~4 years ago) and 2 cable providers ago (Urban Cable Works and then Time Warner). So drops might be quite ancient |

| Old cable?
The coax running through this house is 32 years old... RG59 I believe.
Seems to be working ok, eh?
Distance from garage to here is 60-70 line feet.

Today my upload speeds are back to what they were before. I noticed on the arris page my upstream is now at Docsis 1.1 instead of Docsis 2.0 like it was yesterday. It seems whenever it does this I experience much slower upload speeds. My download speeds are much worse than before too, but only on this site, Pings are through the roof also.

| Try a different speed test site, ot do some actual downloads for downstream speeds.
I rarely get good tests here.
