Yep.. I think all Boost modems are now uncapped on the OOL network. So you can download as fast as the network can possibly go. |

It's only because he is using the amazing Vista OS :P
The most I hit with Boost on a download is about 4.04MB/sec. That is when the entire town of Bethpage is sleeping at like 3am haha |

No tweaks. New computer. As Morbid Angel noted, it's Vista. In reply to ThinkDiff, I do believe BOOST users are now uncapped on the download.

Floral Park, NY | As long as you get close to advertised speeds what else matters. I have the download cap removed and now my line sucks worse than 15/2 with Boost so be happy if you get the speed. |

I was having similar problems to you initially after getting the upgrade. Now everything seems to have cleared up...

1 edit | What was your doing when you had problems ? Mine will be at 25 to 32 mb and then out of no where it drops to 15 to 17 mb and sits there for a while and goes right back up to speed when it feels like it. Other people in my town have the same issue so i know its not just me. I didn't really have issues till early this year and i had Boost before it was even advertised. I had Boost and my friends were still on 10/1 !
Its a stupid problem and shouldn't go on this long !! |

| I think I have stated to you before. How do you know its not somebody with boost who is abusing their connection who is on your node. If thats the case then cablevision can only cap that person and kick them off but if cablevision did that then people would go crazy anyway. |

They're removing the upload download configuration limit on a geographic basis. Mine was done about 2 weeks ago:
