From the OP at Slashdot...
"I know my father is not paying for a 10+ Mbps connection. Is Comcast giving priority to popular speed-test sites?"

The thread appears to have spiraled downward from there.

To bad. I'm no Comcast fanboi but I think Comcast came up with a winner with PowerBoost. Very handy for those patches, updates, small Freeware downloads. Q for Comcaster's, how do you speed test removing the PowerBoost effect ?
Downloading and uploading large files for a few minutes at a time from/to fast sites (like Comcast's web servers or upload FTP area) is a pretty good test.
