Re: Upload PowerBoost! - See Where It's At
Well, Cheryl is wrong, of course, but you know that.
This has come up from time to time throughout this thread. PowerBoost, both up and down, comes and goes on first this local network and then that one. It could have to do with equipment problems or equipment maintenance or equipment upgrades or even available bandwidth on a local network.
It would be very difficult to find out why you are seeing that just now without managing to find the people who manage the equipment you go through. I suspect it will come back and then go again and ... I've seen that here, anyway.

I noticed this thread a couple of weeks ago and saw that someone from Charleston, SC had it and so I checked mine but it wasn't there. It was no biggie as I didn't care about it too much. Last night I decided to check just randomly and there it was. Test results showed about ~12mbps down/~1.4mbps up. I know it's only supposed to be bursts, but I wanted to test it out anyway with a torrent. This morning a trailer for Resident Evil 5 came out and I was surprised to see a consistent high 80/low 90 KB/s upload after not longer than a week ago I would max out around 43 KB/s. As another easy/unofficial test, I decided fire up XBConnect and host a Halo 2 game. I used to be able to host around 5-6 XBC clients max, but last night I was able to get 8-10 clients without any heavy, noticeable lag. Good stuff. |

PowerBoost Up In Sarasota, FL
Here in sarasota, fl.
I did a speedtest last night, I got 200kb a second upload = 1.5mbps upload. My download is still a flat 16mbps.
Unfortunatly, I haven't had a chance to test it on a long upload so no idea if its powerboost.
From what I can see my download is faster in response. It stills caps out at 16mbps.
Cool thoe. |

Re: Upload PowerBoost! - See Where It's At
If you have received nothing from Comcast announcing Blast! is available and don't see it itemized on your bill, odds are it is PB, not Blast. We have had no confirmation of Blast! tier being available (Read the first post, including links in the stickied Blast! topic to see where Blast! has been confirmed.) in Florida and many reports of PowerBoost up arriving there.
