Re: Has a new SW file been sent to Hub2 ac users?

I am on SH3, yet my config file has changed too. The downstream max traffic rate is now at 345000000. I noticed this after I got some speed test results consistently higher than usual. I usually max out at 317Mb. I am now consistently getting 331Mb. I'm pretty sure the old config was something like 325000000. Software version = 9.1.116V

Any explanation anyone?

Got a new config file for Vivid 100 as well. Was 110100000, now 115100000.

I can't really remember my old downstream max figure, but the increase in speed I have gained is around 16Mb. Your max traffic rate in your config hasn't gone up that much. I'm struggling to explain the improvement in speed just based upon the max traffic rate. What was your typical off-peak down speed before the upgrade?

Re: Has a new SW file been sent to Hub2 ac users?

So your measured speed increase is around 23Mb. Can that be accounted for with your reported config max traffic rate alone?

Re: Has a new SW file been sent to Hub2 ac users?

Looks like there's been a new non-gamer 200Mbps config as well, now at 230000000 which I believe only the gamer config was at previously.

Looking at previous speedtests from last week, I've gone from around 208/210 to 220/222

Although I stand to be corrected

I had my speed set to the above for some time now and I thought that was the normal for the 200mb.

Ok I stand corrected then. So I wonder why they only boosted the 100 / 300 packages...

Trying not to annoy further those who still haven't got a speed increase from 18 months ago?

Re: Has a new SW file been sent to Hub2 ac users?

I'm on a SH3, have moved from 330 to 345.

You might have to reboot the SH3. I did.

I only got the tiny boost to 230000000 yesterday when I rebooted my hub, so it wasn't the non gamer 200 tier norm a few weeks ago. This is the second small increase I have seen since moving to 200.
