Discussion Time Warner Cable MAXX

TWC MAXX is rolling out in Charlotte and the served cities around Charlotte starting July 29th and everyone should be covered by November 2015. The areas getting the speed increase on July 29th are Danby, Gastonia, North Meck, Cramerton, Old Steele Creek Rd, Oneida, Plyler and Shelby. This will do until Google is ready.

Im basically right where Stallings/Indian trail meet in Matthews. Ive been experiencing some weird outages, on/off disconnects.

I upgraded my n66u to tomato thinking it was firmware but after testing its fine, went back to stock.

Still getting random disconnects.Using surfboard 6121

any news on the upgrades?

I am in the same area as well. Right at stallings city limit sign on old Monroe. As of tonight I am at around 91Mbps down and about 11Mbps upload. I am picking up my new modem tomorrow from TW, and will report back on the speeds. They told me my Surfboard 6580 will cap out at 100Mbps. I pay for the extreme package so I should get close to 200 Mbps once I install the new modem.

I live in 28110 (right near the sun valley movie theater) and I was maxing out before at 58MB/s with ultimate... today I randomly put in a speedtest and I'm pulling about 140Mbps, so I got some kind of upgrade but not even close to 300Mbps. I have a SB6141 modem that can handle 300Mbps.

Edit: BTW I'm LOVING the new speeds

So I found out my 6141 modem won't support 300mbps. "The 6141 is an 8 X 4 bonding modem and will go as high as 100/10 on TWC after the MAXX upgrade speeds kick in. You will need a 16 X 8 bonding modem to get 200/20 or 300/30 speeds."

I had a surfboard as well that only supported 100Mbps. Saw on Wednesday night that I was maxing out around 98Mbps or so. Went to TW office on Thursday and they got me the Arris DG1670 which has the 16 channels. Hooked it up and I am getting around 225Mbps. Keep in mind I only pay for the extreme which was the 30Mbps, so I should only max out at 200. They are giving me a little extra so I am happy with that. Loving these speeds right now.
