30 mb plan TWC, it shows i have 250 MB dl speeds though wtf??

[heyty4thehelp]

multiple speed test showing i have 250+ MB speeds....is this real?

im baffled...checked 6 diff sites, all 250 mb speeds/20 upload....can this even be possible with TWC internet?

wow its real wtf??? im downloading 10 gb steam game at 30 mb/s and says ETA is 6 mins for 10 gbs ?

 

[heyty4thehelp]

wow im baffled by this....idk how its even possible in a small city in the country to have 250. i upgraded to TWC a month ago from 3 mb speeds and to see 250 is crazy to me

Hey, I don;t have that big of a jump on TWC, but I get about 15-20 mb more if I'm lucky.
TWC is funny like that.

 

[heyty4thehelp]

but why am i at 250??? it seems like my obs(twitch streaming is d/cing every 30 seconds wtf?)

Not sure why you got that of a jump. If it works like that, then keep it. obs could be a setting somewhere.

 

[heyty4thehelp]

obs just got an update, but idk if that or my connection is doing that....ugh cant even stream with all this dl/upload

 

[Turb0Yoda]

If it troubles you, call TWC, but don't tell them about the speeds... Unless you'd rather have 30 mbps...

twc announced a upgrade to the programs about 6 months ago. I forget the exact number but the 30m plan was the top before and they moved those to 300m or something like that. It depends on the city the had a list of which they were rolling out first

Somebody turned open the wrong spigot. Enjoy it while you can.

 

[heyty4thehelp]

what do you mean spigot ?

and the 300m for certain cities? i'm in a super small town in north carolina, im surprised to have 30 MB and now im getting 250??

so u think this will stay like this? or will it go back to normal ? i havent been notified about my plan changing, still payin for 30 mb

He means someone ticked the wrong box in the ISP's systems.

On an HFC (cable TV) network, a large amount of bandwidth ( several gigabits per second) is shared between tens to hundreds of homes. Because of the amount of spare throughput, one or two modems being misconfigured can get massive speeds if others aren't using the network heavily.

There's no real difference between a small town and a big town; you just have a couple of these pools instead of dozens.

Can you try downloading something large, or right click on a youtube video and hit 'stats for nerds'? I have seen speedtest screw up before.

 

[heyty4thehelp]

no this is legit lol...

i downloaded 10 gb steam game in 4-5 mins....30 mb/s

still getting high speeds....lol

think those speeds will stay like that as long as i keep my service with them? i stream on twitch and i put it to 1080p/60 fps streaming and it looked beautiful.

That, and until they found out they screwed up and fix it(assuming the person who finds it fixes it/reports it/whatever)

I used to have 50mb with ATT while on 3mb plan. Human error is a thing. Enjoy it while it last. For me, I didn't report the speed and keep it for my 2 years stay at my previous apartment complex.

or call TWC and have to give you "correct" speed.

 

[heyty4thehelp]

wowow lmao...

ya well its still working.....how many people in usa have over 100 mb/s internet? and how many have over 200? how lucky am i?

 

[newbie Admin]

I doubt you would last long if you win any lotto.

Keep it to yourself and don't share this to anyone close to you. Jealousy and envy is a thing, and they can ruin you by reporting your speed to TWC.

Enjoy it while it last. Also, avoid pirating at all cost. getting flag for piracy required you to call TWC to get unlock. They may notice the abnormal speed at the time. (often time the speed configuration is done at the box on premise so there is also chance they will miss it.)
