bryanlautt Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 no its not illegally, actually, go here, why is it so hard to believe: http://www.midcocomm.com/ResidentialServices/MidcoNetBroadband/Index.cfm I have the Midco Max, and read in that paragragh and it says unthrottled download speeds and 512 uploads and i have called them to make sure and yes you could even have call them blunt its 1-800-888-1300 someones there 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. there is no uncapped modem unless you did it illegally. call your isp and ask what the advertised speeds are or check your bill and it might say it there.

tommie gorman Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 Throttled actually means regulated. It does not mean no top end. So in a way it appears it isonly an adveritsing scheme. "Get downloads up to 8 Mbps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommie gorman Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 Nowhere in that ad does it say uncapped. Try this test, at this time of night it should be a breeze. And post you score. http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?&st=st&tt=1&ta=1&top=000&out_src=20MB You should have out of this world speeds.

bryanlautt Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 I just figured that Unthrottled was the same as uncapped at least thats what Midco told me when i called them is that they dont have limits on my download speeds and then i can get it as fast as the servers can send it to me.

bryanlautt Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 This speed test is from charter This one here i get the highest maybe its because its closer to me i dont know, i know that the farther away the test sites are they get worse, ok like for instance fore i did the tweak i ran about 5 to 6mb connection on this site doing the tests and then around 8 to 9 at charters test and then around 4 to 5 at dslreports. and now i have to say its kinda funny is that dslreports have gotten worse around 2 to 3 now while this site and charters have increased alot.

Yes It is nice untill people call you a liar, i think i should know what i am talking about it is with my isp and yes i have verified it with tech support and it is uncapped the download portion thats why i paid 15 dollars more a month for it. bryanlautt: welcome to testmy.net...hope u enjoy our little community as much as we do... where's the links in ur testmy test scores...the varification part of it...is gone from ur post and ur sig...should look like this...

iced98lx Posted September 30, 2006 CID Share Posted September 30, 2006 Even uncapped, you still can't get speeds above 38Mbps or so... No, you can't.. but you can get close depending on your equipment and your ISP's . I am not regulated down but hardly ever achieve over 25mpbs. I have similar service as him, on the SAME ISP. The residental is on a lower priority tear @ Midco than my business, and depending on node traffic etc he won't get quite as good of speeds as I will.. The unthrottled speeds down on the midco max package equals somewhere between 12 and 15 if the traffic is right... my line is in a rather.. um, scarry part of town, where not many have cable internet.. = me being 1 of 2 people on my node. I should be able to get a theoretical maximum on DOCSIS 2.0 if all my equipment and theirs were upt to the task, which it's not, I could never suport 40Mbps down through my network yet. So, truthfully, he is not capped on his download speed, but neither are 6-7 other people on his node... midco just lets them fight it out for bandwidth.

snouter Posted November 17, 2006 CID Share Posted November 17, 2006 I just did a quick comparison of testmy.net and this speedtest.net. I am supposed to have 15/2 speeds I think but this is what I got which is kind of the reverse of what I expected (I thought testmy would be lower than speedtest). testmy.... 9884 download, 1764 upload speedtest.. 9468 download, 1763 uopload optimum site's "test" 12600 download, 2500 upload Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommie gorman Posted November 17, 2006 CID Share Posted November 17, 2006 Not necesarily. I get much higher on here than toast or Dway, by testing on here. More accurate does not always mean less. And welcome to the forum snouter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
