Of course, I don't subscribe to their cableTV, so maybe this is just another penalty. |

Wow, 1 Mbps for a whole 5 MB!
That is incredible! Comcast, I quiver in anticipation for these impressive speeds. |

While not necessarily an "OMFG" improvement, in their defense, this is probably geared more for people that are doing picture uploads, not archive or media (CD rips) uploads. For example, I could upload fifty 100KB JPEGs before hitting that 5MB back-off. Most people aren't uploading that many pictures at once. And, even if they are, the files uploaded might be significantly smaller.

1Mbps is still > 384kbps... and without additional cost.. so why downplay the enhancement, even if it is only for the first 5MB? Perhaps you should call Comcast and ask to be excluded from deployment? |

| eh..
I still think it's nothing more than a stopgap measure. I have nightly slowdowns and daily disconnects, both happening at almost the exact same times every day/night. The only reason I'm with them is because they offer the cheapest fast net in the area, and it's not all that cheap..

And if you aren't a big movie downloader or P2P user, these speeds are a nice bonus with no additional cost.
Here was the latest 2 tests I did:

I guess I am confused as to how your connection problems relate to the roll out of upload powerboost... |

Re: So?
not a big deal to you since you seeing above those speeds, but for people in non FiOS areas then yes it is a big deal. Well at least for those who utilize larger uploads. |

For me, upload powerboost seems to be working for the first 20MB of an upload, no matter what the application. So far, I've experienced it using bittorrent, AIM, ftp, and webdav |

Re: dose it work with torrent?
yes.
You will be a brief boost when you start uploading to someone, but it doesn't last long.
Depending on how often your torrent client stops and startup uploads though you can exceed your normal upload speeds though since each time it goes to upload you'll get the boost. I've seen a sustained speed of slightly over 400 kbps with an upload speed of 364 kbps, but you won't get a sustained 1 (or 2) mbps upload speed.
The main difference now is that briefly going about your upload limit (364 or 764) won't kill your download speeds or affect your ping times.

I was getting 8-10 Mb/s down, 1.5 Mbps up consistently until last week.
Whoops, nevermind. The Flash test just sucks for me. Here are some with the Java test:
