Re: [Speed] Speed increase. Can someone with the upgrade post their speedtest.net test to see if the powerboost amount is still the same or lower? |

Looks like Powerboost is gone:

Normally my speeds with Shaperprobe are 47000/6000. I'm on the Blast plan 50/5. |

Nothing here in Columbia, PA (on the Etown system). Rebooted and still seeing 16/2 in ShaperProbe. |

Download is now stable here but upload is still all over the place. Strange thing is upload will go faster after a large download, see attachment.

| Same speeds still here  .
Anyone know if this is just a test run and won't go to other states? |

The speeds you see in a test aren't going to change. If you run ShaperProbe, you'll see that your speeds are now actually what you're seeing on speedtest.net though. They're disabling PowerBoost essentially. |

From the emails that have been posted it definitely seems like this is on purpose and a move away from powerboost on the "performance" tier. |

Not exactly.
If you get the change you will see a change in all the speed tests. For me the short tests for download were previously seeing the powerboost at 24 to 25 mbps, with longer tests reading 16 sustained. Now all tests read around 22. |

Hmm. What about those of us on Blast in other markets? It is bad enough my bill went up another $8 or so for nothing. At least up the speeds then. |

In the OP's post at the start of this thread, they mentioned that they were on "Performance", and not blast. However, if they are upping the speeds on "Performance", then you would think they would also up them a bit on Blast too...if not, everyone on "Blast" would downgrade their service to "Performance" to save money.
In regards to your other market question, I'm wondering that too. Is this "Performance" speed increase just local to the Northeast area, or is this something Comcast plans to roll out to everyone who has the Performance package.
I ask as I'm on Performance, and I know that for sure as my bill says "Performance Internet Svc Includes Powerboost". When I run a speedtest, I almost always see 24-25 Mbps on the download, and 4 Mbps on the upload. ShaperProbe reports the same as the "Estimated" capacity, but does show the Powerboost as well on both the upload and download. The last test with ShaperProbe that I just ran indicated that my upstream shaping rate was 2128 Kbps. Downstream shaping rate was 15978 Kbps.
So, I know my actual "Performance" speeds (Non-Powerboost) are right around 16/2.
I have not received any email as of yet, so that is why I'm asking. Should I be getting one, or is this just being done in the Northeast?
Thanks,
