Recommended Tests

Well as of right now I'm with my cable company for internet and only supposed to be getting 5 Mbps down and 768 up but for some reason i get speeds much faster! Example this is a test I did during peak hours ...

For some reason I'm not capped! But Fios is new to my area. Ive been waiting all year for them to be done setting up my town. Finally I'm do to have it installed and ready on July 19. I noticed a verizon truck working in my area on the lines and asked about fios and when it would be ready and he said I could order it now. Ive been going to verizon.com trying to order it but the site kept saying it wasn't available. So anyways I'm excited about getting Fios and figured I would share it with you guys. I'm getting the first month free so the package I chose was the 30/5 then I'll downgrade after the fist month. Ill post them results as soon as I get the service on Tuesday. CANT WAIT!!!!

Thank you! and you can be sure to see my stats as soon as im set up.

Also is there anyone else in RI getting the service or has it? I know N. Kingstown and Warwick are the two towns getting it. If so whats ur scores using the speed test here?

Well as far as I knew a cable modem couldn't download no faster than 1 MB/s so therefor 15 Mbps (almost 2 MB/s) would be imposable for Cox to offer. Also I pay for the premier package and they still only advertise 5 Mbps down and 768 Kbps up. But you seen my speeds though. This happen to a friend of mine who lives in another state and told me that it lasted for him about a month. So I still believe I'm just not being capped.

Well I would like to apologize. I just called Cox and they did upgrade the service to 15/2 but i only get like 8/2. Whats up with that? Thanks guys.

Actually yea just today didnt see any differnce except a little slower but i think its becasue its later in the day when speeds always slow down. But late at night my best spped was around 8 or 1100 kB/s down. I used cablenut like it said to on this site.

Cablenut and using settings people who gave good responses towards it from this site.

All I know is I downloaded a file named "vanburens_cablenut_settings_version_2_679" and used file "Cable & DSL 5000 768" DOes this help? And also if im supposed to get 15/2 and thats what verizon offers whould fios be better than cable?

I did it and here is the results:
