Running cable on 285 at park n ride mm 234

I'm in Highland Pines, behind the stores at Pine Junction. A short walk to Ms Mam's house.

When I installed my Roku Internet video player that connects to my TV, I found I needed at least 3 Mbs and called Qwest to see what they offered. 7 Mbs was the next tier up from 1.5.

their website if I type in our zip code shows only 1.5, I am going to call them tomorrow and see.thanks!

wayne is very close the Qwest POP, thus the higher speeds. It will take a while before the repeaters etc are rolled out the boxes further away from the POP before Qwest can offer 7 meg at your home.

thanks, XP...I did send an email into Qwest asking them for a schedule that it MUST be running right by us since it is available further up the hill.
I expect to hear back within the next day or so

I was surprised to learn the Bailey Switching Office is in Pine Junction. We're less than a mile away.

Just hope I get it soon too! I'm only a couple of miles further away. I want to start doing some serious video streaming and back off my huge DirecTV bill!

I am two miles down Wandcrest. I just clocked my self at 6.98 MBPS.

Before I moved the modem to a different jack it was about 1/10th that.

So they aren't charging you extra for that? Maybe the person I talked to at Qwest was correct that there is no extra charge? But that's not what Wayne said.

I ran the speed test. Got 1.2 Mps. But I'm north of Pine Junction.

Want to swap homes? lol

No, you have too much to dust. As far as I know, we are not paying extra.

I have no particular expertise but what I suggest is unplugging everything in your phone jacks. Then moving your modem from jack to jack and doing a speed test at each one. If there is a difference between jacks leave it in the fastest then plug things back in one by one to see if any of them are dirtying up the circuit.

hmmmm.... well my test was 1.3 ;-(

sshhhhh, neptunechimney
