Many web sites cap speeds to each session so that a small number of users don't grab all their available bandwidth. But a few of the larger most frequented web sites that are serving up a lot of large files(Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc) do have the capacity to provide higher speeds. And since most users go there, they should see some benefit.

But most users just browsing and downloading email will see only minor differences. And I agree with the news article that most users would have preferred a little more upload capacity to speed those uploaded JPEGS and home videos on the way to grandmas after the grandkids birthday party.

And to get ready for the POWERBOOST, I traded in my SB4100 for a DCM425 that supports DOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 for future, hopefully higher speed uploads.

Only the really big ones have the money for that much bandwidth, but I know they don't let anyone come in and hog it all. They use traffic shaping to share, so are people really seeing these high speeds or are they just getting a proxy cache that only seems to be fast because it's really all from the internal comcast network? Stories and claims like this are always fishy when websites usually don't even let you download that fast from them.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,16286899 Mon, 12 Jun 2006 11:04:18 EDT
