It's been a long time since I've done any sort of speed test, but over the weekend I signed up for a promo to try out the Premier tier. Saturday and Sunday I was seeing DL speeds of right around 50 Mbps. Today, though, it's dropped to the 20s, even sometimes below 25Mbps. I did happen to run a couple of tests before the upgrade, and with the Preferred tier we were getting about 30Mbps, but those tests were on weekday mornings and the weekend. I'm sure that there's more traffic on weekday afternoons, but is this big of a drop in speed normal?
I did install a new modem Saturday; I signed up for the promo while calling to get them to provision the new MAC. But I was seeing the higher speeds over the weekend with the new modem; it's not like the speed dropped as soon as I installed it.
Anyway, I'm just curious what kinds of speeds others in my area (I'm in Norfolk) are getting, especially if they're on Premier.
