Granite Falls, WA

I rebooted my modem after seeing Bellingham, WA was updated. I'm just outside Granite Falls, WA.

I was unable to get any speedtest.net servers to return the full download, although they were seeing the 10mbps upload. The shaper test did show the proper speeds though.

Checking for traffic shapers:

Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 10752 Kbps.

Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 48197 Kbps.

I see Oakdale, Minnesota has been reported already. I'm on Performance and just got the email announcing the upgrade. I sure love seeing this on a speed test!

Here in Seattle, on performance and was getting better download speeds BEFORE the upgrade! Seems my upload speeds are slightly better but overall feels more like a downgrade. Download test starts out at 30 to 35 mbps and mellows out to the above.

Re: Seattle, WA

What modem do you have? If it's too old, you might not get the full download speeds.

Re: Littleton, CO

Near Downtown Littleton, with the new "Municipal Fiber Lines" a block away. Although we won't get to use them. Well nobody will. Have had readings of 35/5 a couple of months ago. But it's slower now.







Pretty Sad. And both from the same server.

We do have intermittent IPv6 though.

My performance tier speed (officially 15/3, but actually 25/3) was just bumped to 30/5. Unfortunately not a big increase because they were already giving me a better than advertised tier speed.

Just got the email notification from Comcast last week that I was updated.

Same as what I have and I am getting the speeds with no problem. Sorry, guess you will have to look elsewhere for the cause of your slowdown.

bigpoppa206 See Profile, please start a new topic if you would like help troubleshooting your individual problem. We can't do that here as it derails this thread from its purpose.

TIA for your cooperation.

Note to all: Please just report if you have received the upgrade. If you wish to comment further or seek help, don't include those comments in your post here. Rather, start a new topic.

Re: Report recent Extreme, Blast or Performance upgrades here

You still are. Do you mean that you were on the 25/4 Blast tier before ?
