Yeah but only in Arizona and Florida. Now they have it in Cleveland, OH, Kansas, Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK, as well as Orange County and San Diego, CA.

Thank god.  Just noticed tonight that I've been upgraded to the 9/1 package.  I'm in central Kansas and never thought it would happen without competition.  My downloads aren't the best yet but I'm getting a constant 1150Kbps up though.  Guess I need to load a new setting file in cablenut.

Ran an FTP server for years now and have never hit a cap yet.  Not sure what they advertise as their cap but they don't seem to enforce it very often, if ever.  Which makes them great in my book, as long as they don't start forcing it now after the upgrade.  Kudos to Cox, it's about time they stopped neglecting the midwest.

Forgot to login in first before taking the test but this is what I'm getting now with the 10/10 tweak in cablenut.

This is on my laptop through a wireless card (shouldn't make any difference from LAN).

i guess when your speeds go over your now advertised speeds
