EPB Internet Upgrade Time is Now
5:00 PM |

Glasgow EPB
has traditionally given its internet customers a Christmas gift in the form of
increased download speeds for the coming year. This year, the tradition
continues as we will increase our standard internet download speeds as well as
our upload speeds. All of our cable modem products will receive upgrades at no
additional cost. Merry Christmas!
It certainly
is not as easy to do this as it might sound. In order for us to make this improvement
for 2016, we are replacing the very heart of our cable modem system with a much
more powerful piece of hardware and software. And, like all big construction
projects, there will be some inconvenience before everyone gets to enjoy the
upgrades. On Wednesday December 9, at midnight, we will take down our internet service so we can install the new hardware. The work should be completed by 6:00 am on Thursday.
Some of this
work is already ongoing. A lot of the space we freed up by converting the
analog cable channels to digital will be used to allow many years of upgrades
to the internet system. Now that most of the digital conversion project is
done, we are now about to begin an operation similar to a heart and lung
transplant, but in our case we must do that operation while the patient is
still walking down the street! It is going to be difficult and complicated, but
that is what we do.
Please stay
tuned to our blog, our Facebook page, and Cable6 for updates on this project.
