Joyful Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 We pay for 30 Mbps and are getting 25 down and 5 up. No change here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penny Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 What program do you guys use to measure your speed. Another question -- I assume that "reset your modem" means to unplug it and then plug it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 http://speedtest.cableonda.com/ I pay for 30 and register 61 this morning without resetting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwoSailors Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) They called us a month ago and said we can go from 20Mb to 50 MB at no extra charge. ( Will see if they raise the rates next year...they said they would not! ) Well, we switched and had problems. We did disconnect and re boot the modem several times. They sent a tech out-and he replaced a joiner for the cable going into the box and problem solved. So now we are going from 50MB to 100MB!!! Totally happy with the 50MB. Me thinks there is going to be rate increases next year!

Then put the battery back in and plug in the power cord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Nilsen Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hello all, We also have cable onda. I have rebooted everything several times and still only get our normal speed in the 8 to 15 mbps download range. Has this upgrade been implemented system wide? Also, one post indicated that they were contacted by cable onda before being upgraded. So my question is, do I have to do anything to get this upgrade?

TwoSailors Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Alan, Give them a call. They can answer those questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Hampton Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Several people have responded on Volcancito Road and I can confirm going from 20 to 60 on the same trunk line.

JohnF13 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Officially jealous. I'm on wireless, CableOnda can't even get me 6 megs here. This morning I was down to 2 megs because they keep switching me to San Jose instead of Panama City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyful Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Still only getting 25-30 Mbps. Reset the modem multiple times. Using http://www.speedtest.net/ to test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The results are insignificant for Panama. This is the best bet for Panama. http://beta.speedtest.net/ It will default to San Jose, Costa Rica. You must change your location to Cable Onda, Panama City, for a more accurate reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
