I need to find out about the inconsistency. But my 'slow' speeds still add a zero to the OPTONLINE speeds. Hey Cablevision, kiss my butt! TV is next...

Damn install was an all day event. But would have been perfect if not for my setup for torrents. It seems if you use the wrong DNS ip's, nothing works. :)

[NJSPEEDER]

inconsistant connection speeds and regular outages are why i got rid of concast. never looked back. my DSL connection has been faster from day1 and now that i am on fiber it moves event faster.

[Tru2Chevy]

FiOS FTW!!! I've had mine since May, and I can't think of ever going back to cable...

[Savage_Messiah]

cable FTW when its free

[Brando56894]

fiber pwns cable even though i havent tried fios

[Bandit]

Comcast Cable download speedsare 4300-4900 but the upload speed must be limited its always around 350-380.

I've heard good things from people who have the FIOS system already.

[qwikz28]

FIOS is sick

[ryanfx]

we just got FIOS put in by me and I believe we will be switching over very soon.

[Knipps]

currently i have cable and my dad only got that b/c i asked for it otherwise my house would still have dial-up :shock:

this may be cheaper/the same as what i have
i can see it in my future :twisted:

I have optimum boost running thru 6 household computers and an xbox 360, it is indeed uberfast. Lets just say downloading a 2 hour movie only took 12 minutes.

i have regular opt. and there is no way it is 15Mbps
maybe 1/10th of that

When I had the regular opt online, i easily had 12MBPS consistantly... its those evening hours when it used to plummet, cuz it seems like the whole tri-state area was logged on lmao.

depending on where/when i test it i get 1mbps to 10 (it can be a matter of seconds)
it's so weird...

edit://
try this
its 3AM and i have about 3MBPS

Cablevision can bite me. They cap upload speeds without telling you (god forbid you try to use the bandwidth they so rave about), which also kills d/l speed. The boost service should cost what the normal service costs, and the regular service should be dsl cheap. And the boost is still more $$ than the equi. FIOS, I believe (I have to check again).

Plus I hate cablevision. Their incompetent tech service, I had their people flat lie to me. Awful. And I had no Yankees for a year. Yeah, I didn't forget that.

[The Fixer]

FiOS FTW! I'm calling this week, especially because their new basic TV package has a ton more channels than Cablevision, and the monthly cost is the same. Say BuhBye to Cable!

[Untamed]

Not available yet in Hillsborough.

I've heard mixed reviews now about the up time and potential for failure due to weather, shifting ground where the optics are buried, etc. *shrugs* Guess I'll wait until its available in my area and look to see how much it costs.

[GP99GT]

wtf is fios? and where do i check to see if its available?

Comcast even states that your upload speed is limited so that shouldn't be a surprise. When we had dialup here at our house the phone lines were so bad we could only get connected at 26K even with a 56K modem. DSL was not availble at my location so I had no choice but Comcast. I haven't seen any down time now in a while. I'm not sure if FIOS is available here yet or not. I don't upload much other than my lousy pictures so it doesn't really matter.

I just ran a couple of tests and my download speed is around 4500-4700 mbs and upload is 356. Bonzo, your cable connection must have had some serious problems to get numbers that low or your household watches a lot of tv! :D

4500 MBPS?!!!!!!! holy **** . I think u mean kbps :-D

[Tru2Chevy]

That's not megabytes....it's megabits

- Justin

[Brando56894]

its fiber optic instead of cable, you lazy ass...

comcast is 5mb/sec here down and ~340kb up here but the quality of service after 2 runs were 47 and 25 respectively

[Brando56894]

That's not megabytes....it's megabits

- Justin

but still thats a ****load, thatd be about 4.5 GBPS which is like OC-128 status and i doubt he has an OC-128 backbone :lol:

[slasherbarb]

YOU ALL ARE NERDS!!!! :geek:

Heh....OC-128 backbone would be very nice.

- Justin

[Brando56894]

that it would be :lol: i was board a few years ago and looked up all those backbones, theyre so friggen expensive that they dont even list the prices lol

[JL8Jeff]

Yeah, 4700 Kbps.

[BonzoHansen]

Yeah, 4700 Kbps.
The FIOS 10/2 package is 39.99 and outruns that.

[slugger27nj]

It seems like virtually every town around us has FIOS but us :cry: As soon as it's here, we're definitely switching because cablevision blows. Cablevision and the Dolan brothers can kiss my en-tire ASS :moon:

[JL8Jeff]

The FIOS 10/2 package is 39.99 and outruns that.

Yeah, until everybody gets it and it slows down to 4700. :wink:

[BonzoHansen]

It ain't cable. Different technology. We ain't all sharing a node.
