I wanted to mention my recent experience with Sonic Fusion and see if others have had similar issues. I had my service switched over to fusion service yesterday and everything went smooth, up to a point. Sonic was excellent at switching the phone and DSL over from what I was having before, which was Speakeasy and AT&T. However I'm surprised at how low my speeds are, at least download speeds, from what I was expecting.
Currently I get 4Mbps down and 1.04 Mbps up, @ 7000 feet from the central office. This seems pretty low to me, after having researched online and seeing the graph that was posted elsewhere in this forum on expected speeds. I have The Actiontec GT701D modem. When I was figuring out how to set this up, I saw others mentioning to set the modem up for MMode, rather than ADSL2+ mode, to get the highest speed.
My previous service through Speakeasy was running up to the 3Mbps limit that was set for me. I've been told also that my lines are pretty good, so I was wondering if others have any tips for increasing speed through settings possibly? I feel like there's more to gain....
I called support and someone there did a few things which initially speeded things up and then it went down again to 4Mbps. I was told that possibly things get tuned for the next week, but does anyone have any other ideas? Thanks!
