<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/1684302"><b>SeattleAl</b></A> : I received an email last December 31 stating that speeds in my area were doubled, and there was no action needed by me. Yet, my bandwidth consistently measured 6Mbps down and 1Mbps up on Speedtest.net. This was after power resetting, and config resetting/rebooting ad-infinitum.<br><br>I figured they just jumped the gun and that the speed increase would eventually get to me. After 10 months, though, you start to wonder. When Project Cavalry finally got to my neighborhood, I figured it was time to call Comcast.<br><br>They tested my line and cable modem and said both were fine and up to spec. They reset my modem from their end, resent the config, etc. Speedtest.net still reported 6Mbps down/1Mbps up.<br><br>I finally decided to go down to Comcast to pick up a rental modem to see if it made any difference, as a precursor to buying a new modem. They gave me another SB5100, with exactly the same firmware, hardware version, etc. as the one I had. However, this rental modem tests out at 30Mbps down and 8Mbps up on Speedtest.net. Also, the config file name shows up in the Log on this modem, whereas it never showed up in the log on my old modem.<br><br>Does anyone have an explanation why a virtually identical modem obtained from Comcast would work, while the one I owned and used for years would not work with Powerboost? I am probably lucky that the SB5100 they gave me worked, because if it didn't, the next step was a truck roll, probably at my expense. However, I am now paying $5 a month for cable modem rent, whereas the one I owned is now junk.<br><br>Software Version: SB5100-2.3.8.0-GA-00-NOSH<br>Hardware Version: 3<br>MIB Version: II<br>GUI Version: 1.0<br>VxWorks Version: 5.4<br><br>SW Download INIT - Via Config file d11_m_sb5100_silver_c01.cm]]></description>

I have checked my U/D speeds with DSL reports for many years, with many different ISPs, and never have I had any speeds even close to 16 mbps.  Even before this Blast effect, my speeds were in the 7-9 Mbps down, and at best 3 Mbps up.<br>To shorten this post, I would like to discuss this with anyone who could give me some correct information.  Today, Comcast tried to tell me my router was the blame.  After checking my speed without the router, I still did not even approach the speeds they are selling me.  Comcast tells me my latency to my modem is only 13 ms, so I should have no trouble getting 16Mbps.]]></description>

I know some of the states listed still have pockets of areas that don't have Blast yet . But the list of states where it's been available has been extensive for quite sometime now.  ]]></description>

<title>16/2 Tier Available in Aurora, CO w/triple play</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22294923</link>
<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/0"><b>anon</b></A> : 16mbps is available in Aurora but only with the highest triple play package. I just ordered and it will be installed in a week.<br><br>I actually am saving money now. I have the Preferred plus HD package and the performance internet. It costs me about 200 a month with taxes and rental fees. Now I get a phone line added, double the internet speed, and the rental fees waved.<br><br>My bill is dropping 20 bucks a month!  :D<br><br>Just an fyi to anyone in denver area looking for this service, getting it highly depends on who you talk to. It appears that the general 1800 customer service won't work with you on it since the bundle is supposedly only for new customers. And basic local sales guys can't authorize the upgrade either, so you have to ask to talk to someone higher level at your local office.]]></description>

She said that is good for a year, and to keep an eye on our bill, if it goes up to the 68 then Blast is in our area, call her and she will get the account set up correctly for it. She said to call her direct, and she would keep my info right on her desk, she really did a good job on this. <br><br>I just want to say THANK YOU to Cecelia, Comcast Steve and ComcastCares at Twitter for working on this so hard for me.

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/610550"><b>RR Conductor</b></A> : Well, I am in contact with a rep on Twitter, he went into my account and said it's most likely a billing issue.  My modem won't get the BLAST! Config file until it's set in the system, he even reset it a few times to make sure, he said it may just be they didn't get the upgrade done on time.  He said he'd escalate it and hopefully they'd have it fixed Monday, as being at home he couldn't get into the billing system, we'll see.<br><br>What's weird about all this is they said the upgrade and the 2 dollar increase would come at the same time, yet as you can see in my previous post they upped our price by the two dollars, but still have us listed as Performance Plus.   ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/610550"><b>RR Conductor</b></A> : Okay, this officially ticks me off.  The letter said we would be upgraded to Blast as of our April billing statement (which came out today, dated March 26th), well, they upped our price by 2 bucks (as per the letter we received had informed us), but according to the bill we're still Performance Plus, HUH?  <br><br><b>4/5 - 5/4 Performance Plus (8m) 68.95</b><br><br>Is this standard practice by Comcast to raise the price and do the upgrade afterwards?  I was led to believe by the letter they were supposed to come at the same time.<br><br>Update-Now check this out, there is a little note on the bill that says <b>"GREAT NEWS!!  Effective 3/24/09, your high speed internet service, Performace Plus 8Mbps, will be upgraded to our BLAST! Service.  BLAST! Service delivers download speeds up to 16Mbps and upload speeds up to 2Mbps".</b><br><br>I've checked the speeds, 1.06 MB/s after PowerBoost, so we still aren't getting BLAST!, I've even reset the modem back to factory specs and rebooted, it just keeps downloading the Performance Plus file SW Download INIT - Via Config file d11_m_sb5101_speedtier_c01.cm<br><br>Update2-Okay, after going online with tech support, then calling the 1800Comcast number, nothing has been solved.  After an extensive search and even talking to supervisors, Comcast Billing said that Blast! was not even showing up as available for our area, and they could not find any information about upgrades as we were promised in the letter and our bill.  So basically, nobody knows what's going on.  The lady was very helpful, and has credited our bill the 2 extra dollars, she also said to go into the local office in Ukiah and talk thing, showing them the letter and the bill, though they're not open on the weekend so that will have to wait until Monday.]]></description>

<title>16/2 and 12/2 Tiers Available in Clairton, PA</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22128441</link>
<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/0"><b>anon</b></A> : Clairton, PA here... slightly south of Pittsburgh. Comcast did maintenance over night, and I got a new IP address. It appears that now instead of 6 Mbps I am getting 12 MBps. I have a friend who works at Comcast and he said this was coming. I was able to get a sustained download speed of roughly 1.5 MBps, even slightly higher at times. I was able to sustain that speed for an extended period of time, so I know that it was not the work of Powerboost. The boot file from my modem logs is d11_m_sb5120_silverpboost_c01.cm. I'm happy!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/878241"><b>JohnInSJ</b></A> : <div class="bquote"><small>said by  KodiacZiller <A HREF="/useremail/u/1578887"><IMG SRC="http://i.dslr.net/bb/profile.gif" ALT="See Profile" BORDER=0 WIDTH=16 HEIGHT=11></A> :</small><br><br> <br>Umm, maybe because the business class has caps just like the residential service.<br> </div>No, we get different, more nebulous caps :D<br><br>But we can run servers and get static IPs. Which makes us cool.<br><br>From the business AUP <br>&raquo;<A HREF="http://www.comcast.com/Corporate/shop/business/acceptableuse.html" >www.comcast.com/Corporate/shop/b&middot;&middot;&middot;use.html</A><br><br> <blockquote><small>quote:</small><hr>The Service is for commercial use only in a small, medium, or large business as determined by the applicable Business Services Agreement.  Therefore, Comcast reserves the right to suspend or terminate Service accounts where data consumption is not characteristic of a typical commercial user of the Service as determined by the company in its sole discretion, or where it exceeds published data consumption limitations.  Common activities that may cause excessive data consumption in violation of this Policy include, but are not limited to, numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high capacity traffic using (i) file transfer protocol (&#8220;FTP&#8221;), (ii) peer-to-peer applications, and (iii) newsgroups.  Your business must also ensure that its use of the Service does not restrict, inhibit, interfere with, or degrade any other person&#8217;s use of the Service, nor represent (as determined by Comcast in its sole discretion) an overly large burden on the network.  In addition, your business must ensure that its use of the Service does not limit or interfere with Comcast&#8217;s ability to deliver and monitor the Service or any part of its network.<br><br>If your business uses the Service in violation of the restrictions referenced above, that is a violation of this Policy.  In these cases, Comcast may, in its sole discretion, suspend or terminate your business&#8217; Service account or request that it subscribe to a different version of the Service if it wishes to continue to use the Service at higher data consumption levels.  Comcast may also provide versions of the Service with different speed and data consumption limitations, among other characteristics, subject to applicable Business Services Agreements.  Comcast&#8217;s determination of the data consumption for Service accounts is final.<br><hr></blockquote><br><br>So for example as a small business (starter package) I have not a clue what my limit is. However I can say I do not do <i>numerous or continuous bulk transfers of files and other high capacity traffic using (i) file transfer protocol (&#8220;FTP&#8221;), (ii) peer-to-peer applications, and (iii) newsgroups</i> so maybe I'll be OK. <br><br>Oddly, when I asked the business sales guy about caps, he said there were none.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/610550"><b>RR Conductor</b></A> : Wow, now I don't feel so bad with a 2 dollar increase! :D  One reason I can come up with is Comcast is having to spend more when they do upgrades in former Adelphia areas due to their systems not being up to Comcast "standards", but that's just a guess, and it doesn't explain Chicago.  The only other reason I can come up with is "we'll raise it just because we can".<br><br>Edit-They really have little to fear from competition other than AT&T DSL, which is only availabe in Ukiah, Willits and Fort Bragg, and while cheaper is much slower.  Then there's the local WISP, Willits Online ( &raquo;<A HREF="http://www.willitsonline.com" >www.willitsonline.com</A>), but they are not only much more expensive, they're much slower, and I don't think HughesNet is a threat to anyone.

I have been going to dl.tv, and downloading some files there, and while it starts out fast, and goes up to 4 mbps (Powerboost), after about 30 megabytes it starts going down rapidly, into the 1.2-1.3 range, what should I see on Blast, a quick boost and then a steady 2-3 mbps down?  The letter says there is Powerboost on the Blast Tier as well.  I just want to make sure I'm getting it before reporting they have upgraded us in Mendocino County. ]]></description>

One thing that saves us is we can write it off as a business expense :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/1614943"><b>JoelWildtree</b></A> : I'm a bit confused about the 6mb -> 12mb upgrade people keep mentioning. I'm currently in the process of getting Comcast install to my home (a problem in itself), but assuming it does happen eventually, they offer 6mb at the cheaper price and then have an 8 and 12mb levels. If I purchase the 6mb speed, should I expect sometime in the near future to be upgraded for free to 12mb? Or is the 6mb a *new* 6mb speed, whereas the old people who had 6mb now have the 12mb level.

<description><![CDATA[<A HREF="/useremail/u/1433431"><b>cracker 52</b></A> : Well, here in Dunwoody-Chamblee, we've had U-Verse since December, but still no upgrade from 8/2 or 6/1 tiers by Comcast, or any new HD channels for that matter.  I have TM502, which is capable to handle the Blast speeds as I've seen Powerboost go up to the mid-30 megs from time to time.  I've informed CSR about the presence of U-Verse, but I have to say that Local Comcast management has a weird sense of priority.  I know one of the issues is the antiquated Chamblee plant, which Comcast management has been loathe to upgrade.     ]]></description>
