The current data is mostly as of June-2023, but next month it will be updated to as of 12/31/2023. If you check now and compare to the updated map next month, you'll be able to see if any areas near you were upgraded in the second half of last year. The map isn't reliable either. Comcast said my address could get 2000/200. I disputed it and they conceded. Still isn't available and we've had a new node for about a year. Meanwhile, my development has already had an underground fiber build completed.

As it is based on ISP reporting, and their systems are rarely 100% accurate down to each and every street address. But it does tend to be indicative about build-out progress and local percentages (which is what one was discussing). Meanwhile, my development has already had an underground fiber build completed. Which I presume means you are no longer a Comcast customer.

But it does tend to be indicative about build-out progress and local percentages (which is what one was discussing). From my experience, when looking at addresses around me on the map and cross-referencing them on the Comcast website, it's wildly inaccurate though. It's nowhere near indicative of build progression, at least for my area. Which I presume means you are no longer a Comcast customer. For now at least. If I can't get a good rate after my fiber promo expires, I'll be going back to Comcast so I still follow the upgrades. said by cypherstream: After your 2 year promo with Breezeline (after reading your review), you can try to renegotiate or by then Comcast should have 2000/200 available and who knows what the customer owned modem landscape will look like in 2 years. That's what I hope. Although I believe a majority of the homes here have switched, so I wonder if that now de-prioritizes upgrades for us. I'm not sure I would have switched had 200mbps upload been available. The network has been really strong.

I disputed it and they conceded. Still isn't available and we've had a new node for about a year. Meanwhile, my development has already had an underground fiber build completed. Glad you disputed it. For those who don't know, there's a whole process to refine the map based on user reports. I'm sure the map is not perfect and perhaps your area is worse than others, but hopefully it will be useful to get a sense of the mid-split (and eventually DOCSIS 4.0 / X-Class) build-out in many regions. When I looked at my area specifically, it said my home and immediate neighborhood couldn't get mid-split and that's correct when I try to order service (including at nearby homes I tried). The FCC map also says there is mid-split service half a mile or a mile away, and when I checked a couple of addresses over there the Xfinity ordering site reported 2000/200 available. So I guess the TL;DR is YMMV!

Lol, looked at the new list several times, I thought my eyes were playing tricks with me. Then I realized they eliminated the words "Recommended Devices for Our Internet Plans" at the top. And they moved "To ensure the most reliable experience, here's a list of devices we recommend based on their performance and compatibility with our Xfinity Network" Below the the Next Gen Speed Tier list. I'm assuming they did this to help eliminate some of the confusion some people are having with the Next Gen Speed Tier Devices.

They should know The problem has typically been for technical changes in progress like this that while Comcast (engineering) would know, the marketing systems do not have reliable address by address service availability and rate card information (in some cases your next door neighbor would not have it even if you did), so there is always a lag between activating the first node(s) on a street for such a major change, and activating most of the nodes in the marketing region so that everything can be updated. And I have seen cases where, for legacy build-out reasons, that two residences next to each other are even feed from different plants (one from an entirely different marketing area although assigned to the first marketing area), which generates no end of confusion.

kucharsk join:2001-03-30 Louisville, CO	kucharsk to badtlc4 Member 2024-May-9 7:01 pm to badtlc4 Talked to a very knowledgeable tech in my area who was working in my backyard yesterday (someone up the line is back-feeding into the network again and they are trying to find out who) regarding mid-split yesterday given some areas around Denver already have it enabled and have the commensurate higher upload speeds. Basically he said most of the amps have been swapped out but there are a few that haven't and he said not to expect it before the end of the calendar year, if then. They're in the process of swapping out the Cisco GS7000s they installed as part of the fiber deep project in 2018 with new smaller models from Harmonic that also contain a virtual CMTS in the same box. He said the limitation in the speed of doing that is that Harmonic won't allow anyone but Harmonic personnel to do the installs and they get "very unhappy" when Comcast installs one themselves, though he admitted they sometimes do. All of that pretty much syncs with what's previously been discussed: »Re: Area Finally Seeing Some Upgrades I joked about FTTH and he reconfirmed that in the areas of all new housing being built where the homes burned down in the 2021 Marshall Fire, everything is coax to the demarc, no FTTH, no EPON.

They have global operations according to that link. There’s a good number of tech companies who got their start over there. Hope they are flourishing with global operations and a good business continuity plan. Here I would say say 90% of system upgrades are Harmonic, and 10% Arris OM6000. All new builds are harmonic. They’ve been picking up aerial construction this year so it’s a sight to see. Some poles they are really high up because there’s limited room. Hope they bring a bucket.

That seems odd to me, usually this kind of requirement is in-place when a vendor is directly responsible for the operation of some equipment in the field. I had assumed that Comcast operates its own network including the nodes, so why would Harmonic need to install nodes?

What is mid split in Comcast? ›

Mid-Split allocates a bit more spectral bandwidth to the Return signals, to around 85 MHz, allowing faster and more reliable upstream data rates. High-Split moves the Return spectrum allocation even higher, to around 204 MHz, giving more bandwidth to the upstream (US) for more speed.
