Upload Speed Boost Option for Cable Plans

There have been multiple posts from other Bigpond users requesting higher upload speeds on their cable services on the Whirlpool Technology forums. It seems today with families sharing even a Telstra Ultimate Cable connection at home, doing various tasks such as uploading photographs and videos to social media, performing online backups, using cloud services, online gaming, video conferencing or any other upload intensive applications, it can quickly make an Ultimate cable connection quickly feel no so ultimate with only a 2.4 megabit upload speed. I'm suggesting the thought of providing another speed boost option for those with Telstra Cable services similar to what is already in place but with a higher upload speed (to align with Velocity?) and higher cost per month. This gives your customers the added flexibility of being able to pay for the option should it be needed and can be marketed to the customers appropriately also during signup. From a technological point of view the DOCSIS 3.0 technology used by the Telstra Cable network is more than capable of being up to the task of catering for higher upload speeds. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOCSIS I hope this suggestion is of use as I can see clear profitability gains for Telstra. Just by the introduction of a simple new product you will be able to keep more current customers happy and attract more in the process.

+1 to increase it by any amount. But I would be happy to pay an extra $10 per month for at least 10Mbps up. Purely for the benefits of online cloud storage to backup photos etc - a process that is painfully slow with most of the U.S. based cloud backup solutions. I can understand that part of the reasoning might be to prevent users from hosting web or ftp sites and the like, but without a static IP - it is not that feasible anyway (yes I know you can have dynamic dns services etc. but Telstra wouldnt be making it any easier without static IP's). For example: August 21, 2014 - Cogeco Cable Canada Enhances its High Speed Internet Service : The Turbo 20, and Ultimate 55 High Speed Internet package upgrade includes an upload speed increase from up to 2 Mbps to up to 10 Mbps, at no additional cost. The newly launched Ultimate 120 High Speed Internet package offers download speeds of up to 120 Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10 Mbps, as well as a monthly data transfer capacity of 425 GB. (Just do a search and replace on a few words in the above paragraph and feel the potential happiness!) I'd like to hear a response from Telstra.

  • Signal Booster Options for poor service signal in home

    The new home I am moving to gets really poor signal (seems to be just in the yard and house ~3 acres) everywhere around home gets signal. What would be a good signal booster option so I can get calls in my home? Zipcode 56759

    At this moment, I believe your only option is the network extender, which is currently a Samsung model. You would hook this up to your home internet connection. Limitations are it is only 3G and not LTE.
    Future, Verizon has said they will be releasing an LTE network extender. Also Verizon announced in the fall of 2014 they will support wifi calling with supported phones sometime in 2015. Both are still not concrete on dates, so I would not count on them right now. Just be aware that if you get the 3G network extender, it will be obsolete in less than a year.

  • Telstra Cable Ultimate Upload Speed Increse

    Dear Telstra, Recently i have been trying to stream to twitch in 720p on your cable ultimate but your slow upload doesnt even allow me to stream at 240p at 30fps wihtout 60% frames lost and it would be great if there was some way for you to increase this. As with http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Telstra-Ideas/Upload-Speed-Boost-Option-for-Cable-Plans/idi-p/343959it doesn't look like a technical limitation.i dont have any other options for internet and i coulnt ask more with the dl speed It would be nice if you could increase to  10mbps for $10 a month or 5mbps for $5 possibly and if not a technical explanation would be realy nice.   

    Hello, I'm also in the same boat too, I don't buy the whole Foxtel upload causing this issue too. These are two seperate connections incoming and outgoing which are dedicated. NBN hasn't even been planned in our area yet! High speed cable with adequate down and up speed will be just as good as NBN, so let the consumer decide what they want and don't dictate what we should like. Don't get me wrong, the download speeds are fantastic but it is outrageous to have such a limit on upload when consumers are HAPPY to pay extra!? Come on Telstra, this is worthy of a petition in Change.org. The 4G network reaches speed of 100 Mbit/s and an upload of 37 Mbit/s but the data plans are unfathomable to pay for those who require high volume or large uploads. It's reasons like this that we are still laughed upon by Europe and USA...even the NBN is a joke now that there is no more FTTH. Telstra know this yet they tell us to wait for NBN when they know most consumers who are KMs from the exchange will also experience speed issues. Please Telstra, have some pride with your infrastructure and MAKE SOME MONEY which will also SATISFY CUSTOMERS. It's not rocket science. It seems like you want to avoid adding additional upload ports in the CMTS infrastructure. How about a trial test to see how feasible it is such as a voting system and notify all of your cable customers about it to actually see what the response is from your stakeholders? You may very well be surprised. Thanks for reading. Kind Regards,JeremyPunchFace

  • Extreme slow upload speed in Dallas area

    Hello
    Something happened to my upload speed last Thursday, it has dropped considerably connecting to most servers making many sites very sluggish. I have the hardest time just attaching a file in Gmail and the gmail chat keeps saying 'unable to connect'. Using FTP for my work is almost impossible. It's takes me 5-10 tries to upload a file that's not even 50KB.
    I've called Verizon tech support and went through different diagnostics and then they sent a new router, which still didn't help. Here's what I concluded so far:
    It's not the router
    It's not the computer since it happens on every machine
    It's not the wiring since I can get good speed test connecting to some servers.
    It's not the servers that i'm connecting to; everything works when i'm at work or on the phone.
    I have 15/5, I've attached some speed test results.
    Verizon's own speed test page even timed our during upload, which was stuck under 0.5 when it was about to finish.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Verizon say my issue is currently with the engineers, but I have no idea how long that wait to be.
    Thank you

    Is there any Verizon representative that can escalate my issue?
    Basically a tech came last Saturday and wasn't able to figure out what was wrong and left and closed my ticket. Whenever I call back now they're just telling me it's my computer, which is completely FALSE. All my 5-6 computer just doesn't happen to have slow upload speed of the sudden and require modification to RWin buffer as the suggested by the on-site tech. Verizon phone support bluntly told me they can't do anything further and would charge me for coming out again to replicate my issue.
    Things the tech have already tried:
    -Run Fios Optimizer multiple times on multiple computers.
    -Replaced router
    -Replaced ONT
    -Rebooted PON card
    Upload speed still sporadic, works perfect on some speedtests, but it's less than 0.5MB on many servers including Verizon's very own local speedtest. Gmail and any google site request is constantly slow. This site is slow and often times out. FTP to my own site is almost impossible if I want to upload a file that's bigger than 100kb. 
    I'm extremely frustrated.... There are reports of same exact issues in other thread, one seems to be fixed. Is there any way Verizon can look at that and apply it here?

  • Very low upload speed on Skype?

    I had low download and upload speed on Skype for a while. I have fixed the download speed by resetting the settings. My upload speed is still very low. A speed test says I have 18 mbps download and 5 mbps upload. My download speed went from about 5 kbps to 150 kbps after the reset. My upload speed, however has stayed at about 5 kbps. Please help me.

  • What happened to the playback speed change option in iTunes U??

    I just updated to the latest iOS and installed other updates. That change removed the playback speed change option for both my iPad and my iPhone in the iTunes U app. It is still available in e podcast player. What happened to this option in iTunes U and will it be restored? Listening to some lecturers at normal delivery speed is agonizing.  Any insights on is?

    This appears to be a regression with the new version of itunes U
    Updated: Nov 14, 2013
    Version: 1.4
    So to get it to work:
    you need to have a video with more than 1 option (such as 1 with subtitles)
    Afterwards, the speed you set when the button is working is remembered so when you change to videos where the button doesn't work, it will keep the speed you had.

  • Element Entry not showing up for new option in a plan after Open Enrollment

    I had to add a new option in a plan. I have defined the option, added it to the plan. I setup 2 standard rates for this option; one non-tax and the other taxable. This is an odd example because 1 certain employee falls under Group Health Employee plus Spousal Equivalent Plus Family. Last year the employee had Group Health Employee plus Spousal Equivalent but he still is not married and now has a domestic partner child. So they have asked me to create this option in the Group Health plan. Everything works fine when i choose the new option while the open life event is in started status and i can designee the spousal equivalent and the domestic partner child. But when i close the open life event and go to people and maintain and go to assignment to view the entries this employee has Group Health EE and Group Health EE Taxable still there with an end date of 1Jan08 and when i day track to 2Jan08 he does not have this entries there? What am i missing here? Also, when selecting the option in benefits service center if you scroll to the right there are no rates defined for this option.....but under standard rates i have defined a specific rate to this option and correctly filled out the level, compensation object, activity type, tax type, usage, element, input value and assignment to use. Any information would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    I've discovered that the problem is that there is no new file for the new blog entry. The other blog entry was published to the site folder before I was online but now when I hit the publish button it goes straight to uploading to my site, and the new entry doesn't show up as it has no file in the folder. How can I get it to publish to the folder before it uploads?

  • Ipad2-ipod4 cable options for audio/video out

    Trying to find the best option for playing music/video from iPad2/ipod touch G4 through my home theater receiver.can I use one cable for both? Receiver does have HDMI inputs/output to tv, but will sound play through to tv or just on surround. Also do any options play audio in 7.1 sound, or at least 5.1?

    Sorry you were having issues w/ audio sync. Try bypassing Onkyo system and going directly to TV w/ component cables. Sync issue could be a result of HDMI firmware hand shake problem. Then from TV you can use the optical out to Onkyo system.

  • I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

    I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

    The avgrage real speed will be more in the area of 25 to 38 Mbps  You would need to be in a strong signal area with high grade cell tower service and low customer use to even reach 50 Mbps. 
    From Verizon page.  Just be aware that using the MiFi 6620L can cost a lot of money. And you can thank the device's fast performance for that. In my testing around the San Francisco Bay Area, rathe device delivered blazing-fast download speeds that nged between around 10Mbps to around 40Mbps. At those speeds, you can burn through 4GB of data in just less than an hour. Once you reach the cap, of course, you'll have to pay somewhere between $10 to $15 for each additional gigabyte, depending on the plan you sign up for.

  • Restricted upload speed Bigpond Cable Broadband Brisbane

    Hi, I checked the Telstra Service Status page for my suburb with nothing to explain the problems I am having today. My applications are crashing and disconnecting and generally behaving quite slowly. I have tried restarting the router, wifi gateway and the computers. When I go to speedtest.net or speedof.me, they show that I have great download speed (25-30 Mbps) but almost no upload speed. Sometimes the upload test fails, sometimes it shows about 0.1 Mbps. Sometimes the test shows 1 Mbps which I think should be normal for the Cable broadband service. But the results are erratic and the internet is hard to use in general. Is there actually an outage in my area? MrKimAGroves

  • What are my options for a data plan + upgrade?

    So my old phone (Samsung Intensity) broke today, and I'm looking to upgrade to a smartphone. I would prefer an iPhone, but really it's not that big of a deal if I get a Droid. I'm eligible for an upgrade currently. What are my options for a smartphone and a data plan? I'm looking for what's the cheapest option as far as this goes. People tell me an iPhone is free with an upgrade, and that the cost is $20 a month, but I just want to be sure.

    Unless you have an old calling plan, you should be able to add a tiered data plan for your new smartphone (i.e., $30 for 2 GB).  If you switched to the Share Everything plan, your monthly cost would be $40 line access + at least $50 for 1 GB data (includes unlimited minutes/texts and mobile hotspot, although the hotspot data usage comes out of your data plan), plus, of course, taxes/fees (and insurance, if applicable).
    You can check pricing for phones via your on-line MyVerizon account if you click on the Upgrade button.  If you are mainly interested in free phones (keep in mind that there's a $30 upgrade fee), there's the Nokia Lumia 822, Spectrum 2, Droid Razr M, iPhone 4, Galaxy Stellar, Marauder, Rhyme, and the Lucid.  Several of those are 3G phones.
