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

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. |

On purpose or a fluke? Guess we won't know for sure until the marketing/web pages catch up, if they are in fact removing it. |

People running SP have been seeing 22 Mbps about download instead of 25 PBs. |

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. |

said by djcrazy: 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, --Brian |

Blast is usually upgraded to 50/10 when the performance tier gets the upgrade. YMMV. |

I didn't realize they were moving it to 22/4 instead of 25/4 (where powerboost used to take it). It was inevitable. Comcast isn't known for boosting Performance more then a few megs in any direction. If they did push it to 25/4 or better this time, for whatever reason (Testing a 2013-14 upgrade maybe?) I'd expect Blast! to be 75 or better to justify spending more then the price quoted for Performance. Something else I've seen continually. Comcast loves to recycle old speeds. If Performance is now really 22/4, they've recycled an old version of the Blast speed that was rolled out in certain areas and it also brings to mind the grandfathered and soon to be completely dead Ultra 22/5 speed. » Comcast High Speed Internet FAQ » What are the actual Provisioned Speeds? |

I'm just north of Philly ... got my e-mail and rebooted my modem and router over the weekend. I'm on performance and previous to the reboot, shaperprobe and other longer speed tests would show 16/2, with shorter speed tests showing 25/4 probably due to power boost. After the reboot it looks like almost all the diffrent speedtests are consistent with ~ 22/4. So from my end it looks like powerboost is gone |
