Re: *ALL* Speed Upgrade Discussion In Here Please (Part 2)
Previously on the speed thread :-

The existing SACM (stand Alone Cable Modems) that people have should be perfectly ok in regards the new upgrade speeds, due to be introduced from 14th March.

The increases are:-
  • Speed increase from 750Kbps to 2MbpsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬ÂFree
  • Speed increase from 1.5Mbps to 3MbpsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬ÂFree
  • Speed increase from 300Kbps to 1MbpsÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬ÂFree, see Below
Existing 300Kbps customers will be given the option to upgrade to the 1Mbps. But, on doing so the monthly data transfer cap will reduced from 30GB to 3GB! Some customers may therefore prefer staying on the 300Kbps service with a 30GB monthly usage allowance.

Speed and Cap information

Broadband enabled STB

  • 1Mbps Downloadââ‚ ‚¬Ã¢â‚¬Â100Kbps UploadÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â3GB Monthly Cap
  • 2Mbps Downloadââ‚ ‚¬Ã¢â‚¬Â200Kbps UploadÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â30GB Monthly Cap
  • 3Mbps Downloadââ‚ ‚¬Ã¢â‚¬Â300Kbps UploadÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â40GB Monthly Cap
Standalone Cable Modem (SACM)

  • 1Mbps Downloadââ‚ ‚¬Ã¢â‚¬Â100Kbps UploadÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â3GB Monthly Cap
  • 2Mbps Downloadââ‚ ‚¬Ã¢â‚¬Â200Kbps UploadÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â30GB Monthly Cap
  • 3Mbps Downloadââ‚ ‚¬Ã¢â‚¬Â300Kbps UploadÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šà ¬Ã¢â‚¬Â40GB Monthly Cap
The higher speeds on the STB (Set Top Box) will require a box swap to a newer Samsung STB.

There was also discussion in regards to the Cap at 1Meg, the future speeds available, and some comparison to other providers.

... and now for the next installment ...
