Re: 25/15 is 25/25?...
said by Smith6612  :He is not BSing you. Many here already have the 25Mbps/15Mbps package and see 25Mbps/25Mbps. You should be able to order that now. But yes, the hardware can handle the higher speeds. What is not clear is whether this "fluff" will remain indefinitely or whether it'll go *poof* one day without notice.
There is already one report of a person on 35/20 who was seeing 35/30-35 and is now seeing their advertised rate (35/20). Still waiting to see if they have run enough tests to confirm for certain, though.

Camarillo, CA | Regardless I'm paying for 25/15 so I at least expect that. If it remains at 25/25 great. If not, still fine. |

I would rather have had them provision as straight up 25/15 without this fluff crap if they are just going to take it away. I bit the bullet because by bundling I can save some money. But all things being equal, I'd rather have 20/20 than 25/15.

My son was just upgraded to 15/5 today. Just had a chance to test it, and it showed 25.5/4.9. My 20/5, in the same CO, always tests 4.5 to 4.6 on the up side, so his 5 up is better than mine ever was.
We're all BPON, built out in 05 - 06. I'm wondering if your level of "fluff" has anything to do with whether you're B or G PON. |
