Re: Post here for Blast upgrade 50/10 or Extreme upgrade 105/20

In my area, Extreme 105 is $79/month if you have a cable package. In my case, this was at my parents house near New Kensington, Pa. where I had done some computer upgrades and in the process upgraded their internet package and modem (swapped out a SB5101 and replaced with SBG6580).

Elkridge, MD

I received upgrade to 105/20 tonight in Elkridge, MD. Tested 112/21. New config file is: d11_m_sb6120_xcalvidwidebandblast_c01.cm

Plainfield. IN 46168, 50/15 provisioned speed.

Re: Plainfield. IN

Are you sure that Blast isn't 50/10 in your area ?

"Up to" is typically their marketing fluff that includes the Powerboost figures and is really not sustained speeds.

Well, here's my shaperprobe output:

Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 14784 Kbps.

Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 53722 Kbps.

Supposedly Groton, CT got the speed upgrades today, as I got an email about 20/4, which I assume would translate to 50/10 for Blast!, although right now, my Blast! is getting 0.54mbps down, not 50. Presumably they are in the middle of some work. I hope.

I just got off the phone with Comcast, and was speaking with their retentions dept. The lady I was speaking with apparently had a list of when the new speed upgrades were taking place. She verified that middle Tennessee(I'm near Nashville) would see the increase in April. She also noted she was in Florida and they were working on the increase right now.

Just an FYI.

Yeah, I got 40mbps this morning, so we're definitely liveish, we're just not rock solid at 50/10 yet. I'm getting about 20/4, i.e. the lower package right now, hopefully it will come up to speed soon as they tweak whatever they need to tweak, or add more capacity if that's needed.

Ann Arbor, MI

Ann Arbor, MI

After getting IPv6 about two weeks ago [with no email, just had a lot of connection issues on morning, then discovered I had an IPv6 address], got an email today from Comcast saying I had the higher speeds - quick modem reset and they they were.

I'm on Blast.



I had 36 up/6 down speedtest results before (that's with Speedboost of course).

I still have an IPv6 address, don't know why the result says IPv4.

Here's the shaper result:

Connected to server 38.107.216.19.

Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 5650 Kbps.
Downstream: 96065 Kbps.

The measurement will last for about 2.5 minutes. Please wait.

Checking for traffic shapers:

Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 5525 Kbps.

Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 55178 Kbps.
