Re: DOCSIS 3 upgrade in the area killed my Blast dl speed
So, I got an email from Comcast today saying my speeds had been upgraded. From the link it would seem to imply DOCSIS 3.0 has gone live in my area (Abingdon, Harford County, MD). Problem is... I am not getting what they claim and am seeing worse speeds than I was before.
I have Blast! and used to see speed test results (Powerboost) in the ~30Mbps range. Even though the email I got claims download speeds of up to 20Mbps with Powerboost, I am seeing zero Powerboost. Speed test are showing a solid 16Mbps and no speed increase at the beginning of the download.
Though I can't say 100%, I thought my upload was on QAM64 as well, but am currently showing QAM16. Overall signals look good.
So much for the "upgrade." Maybe I can get Comcast to "downgrade" me to my previous speeds.
Sigh... and all this after going 5 days with no dial tone and no internet. Yay! |
