Re: [News] Network Maintenance
I assume this will be system wide - not just area specific? I've yet to see an email with this information. Thanks for the heads up. And hopefully this time the maintenance will fix what the last round broke. I'm not holding my breath though.

| Pardon my brief thread-hijacking, but does anyone know what QAM 256 means? I googled a bit and it seems that number is associated with a maximum of 36 mbps downstream... I don't really know what else it means in terms of telephone service or non-data things such as HD channels.
Insight's C-U system is set to QAM 256, btw... |

I figue it is just Rockford (including Freeport, Belvidere, the Parks, Cherry Valley, Byron, and Stillman Valley).
I have seen others post similar messages that I have not received.
I think Insight is working on rolling out VOIP around here and this is an upgrade for VOIP. I don't have proof to back this up but everything I have seen leads that way. |

| The Insight VOIP service has been rolled out in some areas already. There is at least one thread on that here in the forum. I also covered this on my blog. I'm not sure if any other areas have had the service released to the general public yet.
I'd agree that my feeling is most "maintenance" notices customers see lately have a good chance of being related to getting that new service up and running.
As for higher speeds. I'm not holding my breath on that. I also highly doubt Insight would be willing to match the price points of other cable providers. They have clearly stated they will not compete on price against DSL services. Customers like myself who pay for the premium 6000/512 service are paying way above what many providers now charge for this speed. It's not just Comcast upgrading speed tiers for less or the same amount of money their customers are currently paying. |
