Re: Frequent Disconnects 6/28 Illinois?

We had an outage for about 5 hours on Wednesday and now my Powerboost is lame. I cap out at 21mbps and upload caps at 4mbps. Previously, Powerboost would give me 50/10 temporarily

I subscribe to the 16/2 tier and was used to the way Powerboost was working. I hate when they give us something and then take it away. It sucks. Comcast, you suck

I think in another post you said you had a 6120? Is it bonding multiple channels? I remember seeing posts where it would sometimes not bond after a signal loss.

That said, they are cracking down on the powerboost. I just have a plain 5120, and for awhile when D3 was being set up, I would get crazy speeds of 30/8 or so. Downstream is now limited to 15-16 (I have the standard 12/2 tier). I just did a quick test, and got 7M upload, and that's on a 2.56MSym/sec data rate.

Yep, 6120. It is bonding four channels for the downstream.

That's too bad they are cracking down on powerboost. I know it was just a bad gimmick, but the quick short download burst was nice and it seems I have been spoiled by it. Still 16mbps is nice and I would be plenty happy with 12mbps. I, like many others would like to see at least 5mbps up sustained.

I cleared my modem again and now there is nothing in the log. Nothing at all . I don't know what Comcast has done, but I don't like it at all.
