We all know they want to increase prices, so that part will probably happen no matter what. It sure would be unfortunate if they didn't follow through with the speed increase at the same time. |

Those higher average throughput results have continued throughout the day.
An additional ShaperProbe test that I just ran:

and also the ICSI Netalyzr test:

seem to point to the new 12/2 --> 16/3 speed tier change having been implemented at this location. I suspect that this is something that is being individually done at each franchise, so it probably won't happen at the same time everywhere in Comcast's footprint. FWIW, I do not see any evidence of a new config file having been installed in my SB6121 log display page, but I am not sure if that is even displayed with the SB_KOMODO-1.0.6.6-SCM00-NOSH SB61xx firmware. -- We can never have enough of nature.

The only time I've seen the config file for my SB6120 show up in the log was during/after the 1.0.3.3 -> 1.0.6.6 upgrade. No amount of resets/reboots with either firmware got it to show up again. Here's when I saw it during the firmware upgrade, although that was when I had 50/10. I have no idea what the 22/5 one is named.
I did a reset/reboot a few minutes ago to see if the new speeds made it here yet. Unfortunately, no. Good to see that you got it though, I wasn't expecting them to roll it out until later (when companies say "by X month", I always assume at the very end of that timeframe ). -- KI6RIT |
