Paying for business 50/10, but never get any better than 31/7: Is this normal?

I'd like to understand from others, or CC people whether this is normal. I would expect, in particular middle of the night, to get close to advertised speeds.

 

If this is not normal, will a service call get it sorted out? While I would be at it, can I get my modem replaced so I can get proper DHCP6-PD delegation (the SMC does not do it right, and after 2 onths working with them CC still has not sorted it).

 

Since somebody is bound to ask:

SMC D3G gateway in bridge mode -> Ubiquiti EdgeMax PoE (which will route at 1Gb speeds) Gb link -> Gb link wired to Gb switch -> wired to computer used for test. All links verified to be full duplex at 1000.

It would seem that the above should support 4 * 5.3Msym = 4 * 5.3 * 8 Mbps: about 170Mb/s. I understand I will be throttled because I do not fork over enough dollars at $130+/mo, but if the bandwidth is there, I'd expect to get what I pay for.

Hello dolfs,

 

Glad to hear your getting the correct download speed, I reached out to our regional support team to make sure you had the correct signals and bootfile loaded to your modem. A remote provisioning refresh has seemed to have fix the issue. Please let us know if any issues come up.

 

Thank you

Hello dolfs welcome to the forum,

 

Can you please reboot your modem can rerun a speed test and let us know the results?

 

Thank you

Actually did that last night before that test, and have done it several times before. No difference in outcome.

 

But then I realized that may be you had done something to my setup and ran it again this morning. Now I got 56 down, still 7 up. 

 

I see upstream I now have 4 channels instead of 3.

 

What did you do?
