Now they didn't exactly say that and for all we know CV was probably planning this from all along (ok maybe too much credit?) Anyways, this is a quote from their blog post:
In the months since we released our initial report, we have continued to gather direct measurements of broadband performance. We are pleased to note that the performance of one companyCablevisionmarkedly improved from earlier this year. As we noted in our report, during March 2011, subscribers to Cablevisions 15 Mbps service were receiving average download speeds during peak hours of only about 50% of the advertised speed. By comparison, average users across all companies other than Cablevision were receiving download speeds during peak hours of 89% of the advertised speeds. During October 2011, the most recent month for which data is available, subscribers to Cablevisions 15 Mbps service were receiving average download speeds during peaks hours at over 90% of the advertised speed. I was getting good speeds since earlier this year once I switched to a D3 modem but I noticed my friend in an apartment complex with a old D2 Scientific Atlanta was getting her full speeds too. I know for sure it wasn't before as I told her last time i went to get a D3 modem as it was slow as dirt, like 2-3Mbps at 7:45-9:30 while I was there.
