Re: So fed up with Comcast and their Blast promises (lies)
said by AnonName :
From your previous posts I gathered you were in Delaware state. I am the same AnonName who has been neck and neck with you throughout this thread as far as availability. I am in Middletown, where are you? (if you don't mind)
In my above post I say where I am at
Delaware county PA (note that is NOT Delaware State but
on the border of pa/Delaware and why it is called Delaware county even though it is in PA)

Re: Is Blast! available in your area - Not PowerBoost Pt 2
Just thought I'd ask if anyone has heard any good birds chirping rumors about Colorado getting upgraded to Blast?
Colorado always seems to be one of those places that is dead last on Comcast's upgrade list. Probably because there's no real competition here. There's QWest, but those jokers aren't competition to anyone. |

Re: Blast! Tier Availability in Richmond, VA
So what does Blast! do anyways?
I am curious about this Blast! thing. Maybe we can get that here. I just need to get a job first so I can pay for my own package...rather than relying on my roommate's decisions to get whatever he wanted. |

| Blast! is a speed tier. From the first post in this topic ---> said by sortofageek  :What is Blast? It is described under the Comcast HSI pricing structure here: » /faq/7024 Blast! is an actual speed upgrade to 16/1 or 16/2, which will be reflected in measures of actual download and upload. Because of PowerBoost, you cannot demonstrate the Blast! upgrade has been received. You can tell by measure of actual download and upload of large files, by looking at the capped speed in some modems' diagnostic pages, or by charges on your Comcast bill (if you have actually ordered the Blast! tier.)

Mod Note: Please post in the PowerBoost thread unless and until you can show confirmation you actually do have the Blast! tier.

| Blast is live as told it would be in Pittsburgh!! The only proof i have so far is sustained downloads at 1.93 Megabytes per second for at least 30 minutes (previously up to 30 seconds.) As soon as my bill reflects blast I will post it here! For once the CSR was totally right! |

For once the CSR was totally right! It is true that it is live in Pittsburgh. I can't get a good speed test with the flash and java tests but the speed has doubled in newsgroups to roughly 2.2 MB/sec |

Is there a map showing where Blast is all located? Like the FiOS user map? |

| said by Zilveari :Tested and confirmed in Nottingham/Baltimore MD. It is HERE! Other than speed tests, which are inconclusive, what evidence do you have that Blast! is officially available in Nottingham/Baltimore, MD? Do you have a statement which shows a line item for Blast!? Did you receive a letter from Comcast informing you Blast! (at what speed) is available? If either of those, is it possible to scan and upload an image for us? Or, is there evidence in your modem pages which show the new cap has been applied? If so, could we see a screen shot, please?
