 | [Speed] Do existing customers get upgraded to the new speed tier I noticed RCN eliminated my 15mb $39.99 and replaced it with a 25mb plan. I am still at 15mb according to the RCN speedtest. How do I go about getting the new speed? A simple phone call?

 | Re: [Speed] Do existing customers get upgraded to the new speed It should be automatic, but you have to power cycle you modem for the change to take effect. |

 | reply to Honest Bob I noticed this a month ago... My internet is still 15/2. I've power cycled my modem plenty of times and heck, our power was out for a couple hours the other week. That should have been the ultimate power cycle! |

 | reply to Honest Bob I have tried power cycling the modem. I guess they just havent gotten around to it yet. |

Log on to MyRCN Customer Center/click on View Billing History/download your last bill.
Under Bundled Services mine says: Mach 25 Modem Service.
Don't rely on the download test, mines all over the place. I do get 25 on occasion. Mostly around 20. Probably depending on what time of day you check it.

 | reply to Honest Bob My June bill says Mach 15. I'll give RCN a call tomorrow and see what they say. |

 | I called about that speed upgrade 2 weeks ago. I was told since I am on a promo rate I will not get the 25mb upgrade. |

FWIW I'm on the promo rate and I was automatically upgraded to 25 from 20.
I have no problem jumping around from provider to provider. Whoever offers me the best deal. I was with service electric last time. I also had direct TV, comcast, and fios at the last place I resided. In montgomery county. I would love to see fios where I live now (Emmaus). Another competitor works. The more the merrier.
I'd call back, maybe over and over again. Especially if you have alternatives.
