This thread got me testing out my 22/5 business connection.
What I'm seeing is really quite annoying. I am hoping it is something I can fix on the FreeBSD side, or perhaps it's a misconfigured shaper on Comcast's side, I don't know.
Attached is an example throughput graph of what I'm seeing for a single connection. It ramps up to well over 8 MB/s with powerboost for a few seconds, then plummets to below 100 KB/s, then bursts again and finally levels off at 22 Mbps or so.
What can I do to try to avoid this, beyond setting my own traffic shaping/queuing to keep it from power boosting so high then crapping out due to the inherent packet loss following the power boost?
If anyone at Comcast with some clout is reading this, please consider allowing those of us who don't need/want power boost to disable it on our accounts. I'll take consistency over these erratic speeds any day. Though I imagine I'm in the minority.
