1 edit | [TWC] What do you make of this. I posted about this a while back but am now revisting it. Here goes...
Back a while I noticed my modems bit rates were way off from the norm on my 15/1 turbo plan. After rebooting the modem once or twice it all came back to normal. Now it is back and has been this way for almost a month, if not more. Anyone else in the WOH area have the same situation?
Edit: I should also note speed test's do not reflect the bit rate listed on the modem. |

| Are you having a problem with your connection? That looks like the theoretical maximum speeds for DOCSIS. Maybe it is set that way because of the powerboost feature which dedicates all bandwidth that is available for a period of time.
If it isnt causing any problems I wouldnt worry about it.

I wouldn't say I'm worried about it. I just find it odd. My connection is so so as normal. Speed test area joke for me though. even the RoadRunner hosted speed test suck for me.

To keep things simple. That bit rate has no effect on your speeds, everything is fine.
Let's break this down some.
42884296 bits = 40.9 megabits
If your turbo package is 15/1, that is 15 megabits download vs 40.9 in the bit rate.
The bit rate that your looking at is the inner modems workings, nothing to do with your package or speeds. |

To confuse the issue, browsers usually show transfer speeds in MiB or KiB (x 1024) per second. Also, cable providers now tend to add a few percent extra to compensate for protocol overhead.
