I just got wind of the web-link tonight. It's primarly for the northeast (beginning in Leesburg, VA.) and I know it's to compete with Verizon's FiOS. So here's the link (don't know how long Adelphia will keep the link up): http://www.adelphia.com/extreme/TheHalf™ |

this is already making its way to the south east, i was talking to a adelphia road tech. and he was upgrading my box out side my house. And he told me that its gonna take a while for the upgrade to be finshed, because they are upgrading the network form docsis 1.0 to docsis 2.0. And they have 13000+ cmts's to upgrade just in palmbeach county FL, according to him they have about 1/2 of the NE, and 1/4 of the SE compleat already. So its just a matter of time befor we all get super fast speeds.  |

Did anyone notice the discrepancy on that chart?
I was thinking "Upload a 10MB email attachment in 5 seconds, that would be sweet, but wait.."
They are confused about their bits and Bytes, try 40 seconds, but that would still be sweet. ;)

possibly need some tweaking. Depends what your Nic card is set to ? Keep in mind its just a beta test and it'll take time for Adelphia to iron out the wrinkles. I have faith in Adelphia will get this thing going in the right direction

Tweaks is the answer (not the geek). I'm already to upgrade to a 10/100/1000 NIC or a standard 1GB NIC to make sure my PC is somewhat ready. Honestly as I do more an more research, neither FIOS or Adelphia Xtreme will be readily available here where I live...so I guess I am stuck with the Premier speeds until further notice. darn

I wonder what happened to Adelphia adding new service areas? The extreme page hasn't changed since it was first brought to us by TheHalf

The ONLY reason this is offered in Leesburg is because Verizon is installing FiOS in Leesburg,VA. |

Glad to see some FIOS competition. However, you're paying $120 more per year on the 16/2 plan when compared with the FIOS 15/2 plan. Not a big deal. Maybe FIOS will respond be making the 30/5 plan the entry level plan.  |

yea, the Verizon FIOS 30/5 plan is pretty outrageously priced at $199. |

I am willing to accept either. FioS is NOT dedicated like some T3 lines and Cable can go up and down, so I will weigh my options and GRAB the best speeds for my dollar!!!, assuming they ever get here in my area...d'oh!

Verizon is 15/2. That 1 meg bump isn't going to make much difference, especially on Adelphia's network. in most areas. They can't deliver their basic speeds here where I live. My sister has them in PA, her services suks too. True, I have friends who have Adelphia and their service is stellar, but get only what you can get, very dependant on their old network with bad splices.
just my bias opinion...lol

I'm in Pa and in my area Adelphia is rock solid . I've always exceeded my cap whether its prime time or 3am . I'll just wait it out and hopefully I'll get the extreme tier some day too |
