CVB Quality plans are tiered pricing levels that provide different peak speed limits and increasing priority access during any congestion of the network. Smooth Internet delivery is much more important than peak speeds for Voice over IP, VPNs, Gaming, Video and for a generally excellent Internet experience. Bandwidth is not enough for many new applications such as video streaming, gaming and VPN’s. Quality is also required. So in order to improve the quality of the CVB network we have developed the CVB Quality Control Agent This software assists in trouble shooting network connection difficulties and will monitor the quality of your connection over time.
Service Info and General Questions
Network Speeds -What is Kbps or Mbps
Kbps: kilobits per second, or 1000 bits per second
Mbps: Megabits per second or 1,000,000 bits per second
BIT: abreviated to a small b (Kbps), unit of measurement in a computer representing a 1 or a 0
BYTE: abbreviated to a capital B (KBps), another unit of measurement in a computer, 8 bits are in a single byte. Other lengths are possible like 16, 32, 64, etc but network communications is based on 8 bit lengths.
Is It Bytes or Bits? The small b in Kbps lets us know the unit of measurement is bits. A capital B would let us know the measurement is in Bytes.

What does Burstable mean?
Maximum capacity without slowing the speed of the transfer. At the burst point, the transfer will slow due to bandwidth limitations. When a cable industry advertises “up to” and “burstable” speeds it typically means at certain times of the day you may see speeds that they are advertising. Typically, if you are using the Internet during peak periods, the download data speeds are much slower.
Thresholds or Limits
A "threshold" is the amount of data that you can upload or download in a 30-day period. CVB does not have limits.
