Re: [Speed] Comcast Business Class Speed Upgraded in California said by ropeguru:said by pflog:Well 20% powerboost is still powerboost :/ Unless you're referring to upstream... 
Where is this 20% you speak of. Last time i checked a normal rate of 27 with 30 powerboost is 10%. Shaped rate of 27 mbps, powerboost to 34 mbps (at least for me), which is 7/27*100 = nearly 26%. I calculated it from your shaperprobe numbers though. I think with yours it came out to like 22%.

said by greg925:Did you try to unplug your modem from the wall and also unplug the coax cable and wait for about 3-5 mins and plug it back in and see if that does the trick. Because it worked for me 
I've unplugged the power for a couple of minutes, but not the coax. I'll give that a try later tonight.

If you haven't already, try going to the Configuration page and selecting "Reset All Defaults" and then "Restart Cable Modem". |

Edit: Attached another NM shot, but from an ISO download from Microsoft. I was surprised to see my latency in WoW increase from my usual ~31 ms to only 53 or so during the download. I was expecting it to be over 200. I don't have QoS enabled.

Guess the SMC D3G is more finicky with the profile? Or more difficult to configure? Dunno.

Exactly my problem, hehe. I'm still on the old 22/5 speeds+some overprovisioning (yay Comcast!)

What region are you in? Sounds like it's on a location-by-location basis and this region's equipment may be different or require some other changes? Also, what modem are you using? I am in Antioch,CA and I am using Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem. |

Hey, mine is sooo much better now!

Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 7834 Kbps.
Downstream: 31965 Kbps.
The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.
Checking for traffic shapers:
Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 7728 Kbps.
Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 31360 Kbps
pflog, you would love my new setup. Looks like I am now hard coded for 30/7 with NO powerboost.
About time to get on my reps A$$ and see when they are going to get this fixed. At least MY original package and contract had powerboost in it so to me, this is a breach as they cannot seem to get it fixed! I know I might be jumping the gun, but I am about tired of companies such as this on Business class connections making changes with NO notification that interrupts normal service. |

4.2/21.3 with PB, 3.2/17 after PB runs out. Still bad here, similar to ropeguru  now with less powerboost than I was seeing previously. 4 Mbps powerboost is kind of pointless for a 27 Mbps plan - at that point, why not just turn it off? It's like it's TRYING to keep power boosting, but it won't let it, so the speeds drop off in response to packets being dropped, then back up to boost speeds, rinse repeat. :( Really wish that would fix this for 27/7 people with SMC devices.

Guess I will end up having to live with this as since I am seeing the paltry 8Mbps PB, vs the 48Mbps I used to get, they will claim it is still there and as such no contract breach.
I was working with a CC rep via IM here and I think they believe everything is still OK. In the last IM I sent, I asked for someone to confirm or deny whether PB had been taken away. Of course, no reply on that one. |
