Not too far above that you need to make sure you aren't using Cat5 and at least using Cat5e. The thing is, most people don't understand that the ratings are theoretical only. Isn't it something like Cat5=33mbps, 5e=66mbps and 6=?.

It's weird how the software controlled NICs(including 802.11G adapters that are generally software based compression to increase throughput) have become more popular as speeds have increased.

Eh... 95% of people will never know the difference, and it saves both space and money from a hardware perspective.

If his modem is doing 27 down... theres not an issue of it doing 30mbps down. These variances could be due to line quality. Check your splitters, or login to the modem's admin panel and check the SNR. Especially when you start talking about 30+mbps of bandwidth throughput, you also need to start looking at Gigabit ethernet... 100base-t starts chocknig out not too far above 30mbps, especially with software controlled cheap NIC's. Oh the wonders of fast internet.

My current results. This is after I reset everything, before the reset I was getting 9 down and 1 up.

1. Make sure you reset the modem since the update
2. If you are doing it over wireless, the G standard is generally considered to be maxed out around ~22mbps.
3. Really? Tell them to quit ordering porn! Cableone is not going to be any cheaper...

Our modem cannot handle the 30/5 package supposedly so my tests yesterday were yielding ~ 22-27 down and 2 up still...My parents are actually thinking about switching back to cable one now because their Midco bill keeps going up each month it seems like, it's already $40 higher than it was 6 months ago and that is after they were done with that intro $100/month trio bundle pricing.

The non business class is $105 but its capped at 250gb per month (retarded).

We'll see how long midco goes before it gets saturated and implments some sort of bandwidth cap...

Hows this? haha, one of my servers.

Why are you using the SD server?

1. It chooses for you.
2. The SD server generally gives faster speeds.

Well I'm seeing about 72 mbit down right now. If kirk and tony would stop streaming gay porn it would probably go up.

Sad part is, Kirk is actually watching channel 539(The GayVN Awards) LOL.

I've gotten 31-32/5 so far...I think we only get 30 tho so I'm happy.

And Jim, we do have a 3.0 modem.

If not the jump from 20 -> 40 would require new hardware.

Nope, only all their speeds will double, not Kirk's tho.

lmfao. Nice. Yeah Midco is pretty much the greatest thing to happen to ::cough:: people who download (il)legally ::cough:: me

That's how I read it to.

midco is great.

I confirmed it with a midco employee tonight that it is them. They are doubling all of their speeds and will be installing wireless hotspots around town that will be available for any midco subscribers to use. They are changing their name to Midconet Broadband or something along those lines and are going to focus more on internet service as "cable TV" as we know it is a dying platform.

I know that my 50/5 internet package will become 100/15 as well.
will my 20/2 double then?

midco is great.
