Re: Getting 305/65 whfsdude, if you have a good wireless-n router/network as well, please post some speedtest results whilst on your wireless network (also let us know if you're connected at 144 or 300Mbps).
I think people need to see what real-world speeds this service tier garners you while on a typical wireless network.
otherwise, those are some bitching wired speeds. would love to see some real-world download speeds of some hefty files (something from microsoft, maybe a torrent or two, see what you can max out at)

Making full use of all that speed may be quite a challenge.

Still don't know why there isn't an A++ on that test site, and just who is that 1% ? |

| It is because he is the 1%..  I never was good at statistics... |

what do you see on the Comcast speed tests? »speedtest.comcast.net/

not sure why a pfsense box with an atom processor would run longer then a Linksys gigabit router. |

There can only be one 100% score, if you think about it. |

Awesome setup whfsdude! Love seeing the sub 1ms latencies!
I wouldn't be too shocked if they don't bother trying to lower your upload anytime soon. Everything you're connected to is already symmetrical so it's not like there is a bandwidth crunch like there is on cable. If anything the more you upload the more it offsets everyone's Netflix usage and helps keep their peering numbers balanced.
Also, I don't know if any of the other MetroE packages are asymmetrical. I think you basically get it in 100Mbit, 1G, and 10G flavors. |

Very nice! If they leave that upload like that, I may give comcast a call.... |

The 1% are gigabit connections at universities. Anyways, that's an IMPRESSIVE connection. |

Upstream: greater than 200 Mbps.
Downstream: greater than 200 Mbps.
Something you can do is edit the code in shaperprobe/prober.c and increase the 200000 max capacity. I have set the vars to 1500000 and tested a gigabit Internet link without issues or major inaccuracies in results. |

Congrats on the install!
And congrats to the team monitoring in Philly.
Nice thing to notice here - 1ms hop from the aggregate router to his new IP - don't see that too often.
But yes - fiber is nice.

FYI, I thought the same, but when I asked the author about it, he seemed to think that changes on the server side were required for the numbers being reported to be accurate. Although I was seeing > 100 Mbps bursts reported in the app after updating it manually to over 100,000 back before the author bumped it to 200k.

It may be, from the Comcast press release on it from September (»www.comcast.com/About/PressRelea···RID=1218 ):
The comprehensive Extreme 305 package is being offered across Comcast’s Northeast division, which includes major markets such as Boston, Hartford, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Wilmington, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., Richmond, and New Jersey. Customers interested in purchasing Extreme 305 should call 1.800.XFINITY. So if you're interested, give them a call and see if and when it will be available in Ridgefield. |

Called Comcast and in the Ridgefiled CT area, the cost is 300/month and requires a 3 year contract. Does that sound about right to everyone?
Thanks |
