« U-verse node in Milwaukee area?

usenet

I switched from comcast hi speed, 1500Kpbs, to uverse 6000Kpbs. Now my usenet provider (same one I had with old cable) downloads at half the speed, now ~600000B/s vs ~1010000B/s with cable. Is something wrong or is uverse just slower?

BTW my test speed at speedtest.dslreports.com is 5650Kpbs and please excuse B/s vs Kpbs.

Re: usenet

Do you have uverse or regular DSL?

Anyway, my guess is you're seeing comcast's burst rate (powerboost).
How big are the files you're dl'ing at usenet?

I have uverse.

File size - big.

Powerboost, thought that was for internet only.

Powerboost works for NNTP (Usenet) traffic as well.

Re: usenet

I guess if the question should be why with a 3x times faster connection why would powerboost matter. Power boost must really work well.

I am now officially reconsidering going back to my old cable.
It seem like I am finding a new limitation of uverse once a week.
