Welcome to the forum, amish.

Please start by reading here: http://www.testmy.net/forum/t-2097

Looks like you are on RR's 8/512 package.  Once you get to the cablenut section, try using the 'Cable & DSL 10000' custom file from VanBuren's v.8.  Other members on your package have had luck with that.

Yup most users in Florida have the 7000/512 package..most of the country under TWC should get these speeds by March 1 or by June from what I have heard..most likely you have gotten it already...like Revolutionized said..where are you located so it can confirm with the upgrades planned?

I know that Tampa Bay has upped the basic packed from 5 down to 7, because they also have the 10/1 and 15/2 packages.  I haven't heard of any other areas doing the same.

It's likely that Earthlink won't be too far behind.

Although both ISPs may belong to the same company, they do have different networks.  Plus, since cable is shared, the ISP puts the caps on the modems.  This means that, whether the network is faster or not, the ISP determines whether they will raise the caps.  Earthlink and RR may have different gameplans.

So far TWC is working in Queens...they are replacing amp boxes...working on the nodes...basically trying to get as much done before FIOS takes over...also some people have seen sporadic increases in Astoria where I live and other parts of Queens..so for now,its only a matter of time
