Conversion to PureFibre - What to expect?
I got hounded until I finally agreed to go to PureFibre instead of my bonded modem copper Internet 75 plan. They agreed to maintain my current rates until the contract time expires. I have a T3200M m...
RonAKA My move to fiber. An ont (needs 120 outlet ) A 3200 modem ( needs 120 outlet ) hard wired to ont. My phone was moved to fiber and i asked for battery back up ( needs 120 )outlet . The tech will connect tour existing copper to the ont. I asked for the phone to be moved to fiber. Push button phones will work during an outage with backup. The tech will make you existing setup work . Polecat

ModeratorLooks like your getting 10mbs faster connection on your downstream. The reduction of ping time would also mean you have less latency, which is always a good thing. The comment the technician made about keeping the copper lines might be something that is decided on a case by case basis... but I can't see it being an indefinite thing.
The interesting part is that I am getting virtually the same 85+ download and upload on my wireless laptop. However the ping time is poor at 15ms. But that is my wife's machine, and I don't use it. My iPhone tests out at 3 ping, 1 jitter, 65 down, and 72 up.
One last point is the tech had to reset the T3200M modem so I lost all my setup. Had to reset the modem password, disable the SmartSteering, rename the two SSIDs, set them to not broadcast, and set the passwords for each. Also had to reset the channels I had selected to avoid local traffic. I guess if nothing else it refreshes my memory of how I had the modem set up...
The tech seemed to have some difficulty setting up the Optik TV, but eventually got it done. Total job was probably close to 3 hours.
