Time Warner Cable customers in most of the northeast should see Standard tier broadband speeds of at least 15/1Mbps by this morning.
The upgrade is part of an earlier announced plan to boost broadband speeds by year’s end.
To verify whether you were upgraded, conduct a speed test before and after briefly unplugging your cable modem.
At this time, we have no information about whether Time Warner plans to increase speeds on its other tiers, including Turbo. Upstream speeds appear to be unchanged.
Let us know if you are seeing the upgraded speeds in the comment section.
I can confirm faster speed here in the western ‘burbs of Rochester. Before 9820 Kbps after 16593 Kbps.
Upload did not change, still basically 1Mbps.
The measured speed varies considerably with the Test Server. The Rochester one on the link in the article was just under 10/1. But a Charter server in Boston was 19.8/1. Average of 5 different servers was about 15/1.
It’s been 15/1 for Standard here for almost two years.
Also in the western Rochester area and served (I believe) by way of Batavia. Bought the SB 6141 and tested using the TW Roch server at 19/1 but when I selected the New England server I get 32/1 ! Speakeasy test to Atlanta comes in at 32 !
