I Did my “Upgrade” to the Highest internet speed Adelphia has to offer.

Well I’m kinda still looking for where this “Faster Speed” is.

i’ve got it, big difference to me

try preferred, speedtest it on that - then try on premier, see if there’s a diff and if it’s worth it to you

You’ll only see it if you are downloading from several sources at once. Or a source without a download cap.

Likewise if you weren’t getting anything around 3-4mb/s before, chances are it won’t be much better. For me I needed the extra upload more than anything.

A better question would be what kind of modem is it. And if it’s DOCSIS 2.0 compliant.

docsis 1 or 2 can still get 6meg for premier. Its the config file they send that determins speeds. A quick scan

True but adelphia has had lots o’ problems getting some modems that claim to be docsis 2.0 compliant to work with premier.

lol well yeah, adelphia needs to only use motorola, all the others suck ass. Im still convinced they are a bunch of idiots there tho, took them 2 weeks to finally provision my shit to the correct level, i had to bite my tongue cause i knew exactly what was going on, but i wasnt sure if i should let them know i knew about the config files they were sending me were incorrect 🙂

Woulden’t have mattered to them if you did know the exact issue. The support people arent allowed to make problems known to the escalations department. They ignore any issues that level 1 techs bring to their attention, they are kinda snobby assholes like that. Its kinda funny cause the escalations department is in coudersport PA and they are farmers surrounded by cows in a metal pre-fab building. Not a day goes by that makes me regret working with those people. But their benefits are top notch.

Sad but true, almost every day i would call them and say i think there is an issue on this blade in xxx county i cant ping anyone on it and nemos (diag tool) lit up like a christmas tree. Their response was “we don’t see anything” so i send it up to a level 2 technician and 5 minutes later i see trouble ticked for that same blade that i started. That is the biggest problem with thier tech support, if they ran it out of a city that cows didn’t outnumber people i think the service would be \<\* The bandwidth they are testing out in VA can rival what verizon is doing out west with the fiber to the house.

I kind of agree here… back when I origionally had DSL thru verizon all I kept hearing was how fast adelphia was but honestly, it’s not much faster.

Sometimes it’s alot faster, depending on the website/server… but 99% of the time, I dont get speeds any faster than 100-200kbps… bout the same as I was getting with DSL. Every once in a while I’ll get better speeds though (300-400 kbps) but it’s not as often.

I really couldnt see spending extra $$$ for faster speeds if I’m gonna get bottlenecked anyway (or unless you needed the faster U/L like was mentioned)

Steve you had issues then cause there is no way DSL is even remotely as fast as cable, no matter what plan they offer.
