Increased Speed

Devious

I am on the gig tier and it used to say 1000 Mbps down and 150 Mbps up.
My account now shows 1100Mbps down and 300 Mbps up.
I tested and I am indeed receiving the new speeds.

I'm on GIg Extra and just got bumped form 1.2Gbps to 1.3.
Upload speed still 35, as no mid-split here yet.

Devious if theres no 2 gig upstream increase maybe i can downgrade to 1100 to save some money, yay!

cypherstream

videomatic3 if I were you I would! The selling point for 2 gig is the upload. No servers can sustain that speed anyway. Plus all the equipment you have to upgrade along the path to multi-gig just to come close.

i dont really have much of an issue maxing out my 2 gig download. its more so most computers cant utilize it.
and once i figured out using BBR traffic control over cubic i have no issues maxing out the upload too. and i had an issue with my ipolex transceivers, changing them to hifiber in my mikrotik router made an astronomical difference. i am really hoping for symmetrical speeds soon. 🙂

now the only thing i cant really figure out is when 1 computer is maxing out a gigabit download, a second computer cant utilize the remaining on the 2gbit connection. im not sure if its a configuration issue on my router or network or what.

Showing 1,300 here in the beltway region. I don’t want to complain, but what is the point in this increase?

Midsplit areas don’t have this plan, right? Is it throwing a bone to areas that won’t be getting midsplit? I just don’t see the purpose of this.

Possibly tossing a bone.

I hope for my area they are skipping midsplit and going straight to 4.0. Depressing how slow they are moving in an area that has fiber available.

meerkathalon Midsplit areas don’t have this plan, right?

I am on midsplit with gig tier. My download speed was increased by 100 Mbps to 1100Mbps and the upload was increased by 150 Mbps and is now at 300 Mbps.

That upload is amazing!

This was last weekend on my now 1300/35 plan. I’m also holding out hope on FDX. I’ve seen them doing a good bit of fiber work the past year but that’s it. We have the old Arris FM601E amps everywhere. The node that services me has had a new spool of unconnected fiber hanging next to it since October 2023.

There is a brand new development down the road that started building out fall of last year and Comcast did not put in new amps. All sub split.

That deserves a phone call. But good luck getting through to get a human and a truck roll.

My 2000/300 now shows 2100/300

Download speed: up to 2100 Mbps, Upload speed: up to 300 Mbps

My MIL's 300/100 is now showing 400/150

Download speed: up to 400 Mbps, Upload speed: up to 150 Mbps

EDIT: This must be legit and not that teasing that happened last year. New service in my area (SW Denver) now shows 150/400/600/1100/2000. They haven't changed the Broadband Facts though. And my 2000 is showing 2100 in my account, but they're still showing 2000 for new customers.

Seeing the New Speed on Account Page, but Upload still tests of Max 23-24Mbps here

Should I Reboot Gateway?

interesting that 2000 is showing an increased speed as well. if it is indeed real and not just incorrect information while they are making speed changes (like last year when 1200/35 plans started showing 1500/42 then got reverted), then no one is actually going to notice a difference. The current 2000 plan already maxes out a 2.5gbe link.

Thanks for the heads up on the speed increase. Just rebooted equipment and checked my speed. Download is now 1313 up from 1189 Mbps and upload went from 23.88 to 42.11! WOW. Also my first post coming from Broadband Reports. Glad to be here.

Can confirm Detroit has the upgrade as well. I am on the Gig Plan...

I took a different approach. (when GB service was made available to us last year). Neighbors were “Going GB”.

I checked to see what I was using: The highest bandwidth I could nightly achieve was our 4K Roku Ultra. Playing a 4K or 8K certified video on a 4K TV, With Roku on CAT6 via GB Switch)..
So with that going in one room, me updating APPS on iPhone 15
(WiFi), and a computer (CAT6 GB Switch) doing a movie preview in another room, checked to see if any of the systems noticed anything —pause, buffer, slowdown…. Anything go wrong as they all worked simultaneously??
Didn’t do this exercise just once, did it repeatedly over a few weeks. Maybe — once — we had an issue of ‘slow’ on one system.

So, I threw as much as I could at it. And it didn’t burp but once on one system in a couple weeks. So what was I using?

200 MB service. I usually get 200/25 to 200/35.

So, the offer: $51 per month for 200MB service, or, GB for $51 for 6 months, then $81.

So….. I’m not exceeding 200 yet by my own tests. DO I NEED GB? IF I HAD IT, WOULD I NOTICE A DIFFERENCE? A $30 a month Difference?

I can’t justify it… Yet😇

Yes I can confirm, Comcast did a speed bump in Stockton CA. Looks like it only applies to Connect More, Fast, and Gigabit for my area. Connect More thru Gigabit download speeds were increased by 100 Mbps. Upload speeds are now 150 Mbps for Connect More and Fast, 300 Mbps for Gigabit. I"m on the Connect More tier, here are my speeds 480/180 Mbps. Edit : Comcast just updated the Gigabit x2 tier to 2100 Mbps.
