Well, still no speed increases up here in the Ukiah, CA area (Ukiah CMTS) as of this evening. I take it this is an area by area rollout? |

Okay, I just signed up 2 weeks ago for Extreme 50/15 for $99.95 and now that's not even a tier for me anymore according to:
»wwwb.comcast.com/internet-service.html
I see Blast 50/10 for $74.95 or Extreme 105/20 for $114.95.
So, what will my provisioned speed change to? Or will it change at all? I'd much rather stick on the 50/15 for $99.95 than be downgraded for cheaper or upgraded for more $$. |

According to the billing department, Blast is officially 50mbps NOW! See what it is for yourself! However, this wouldn't be the first time the billing/marketing departments have jumped the gun.

I'm in Clawson. Talked to Comcast tech. today found out I need Docis 3.0 modem. Also found out speed increase to 50mpbs will happen tomorrow. The cost to get 105mbps will be an extra $38.00 a month, forgot when that will take place though. The 305mbps will cost an extra $135.00 a month with an installation fee of $249.00 Tech is coming out tomorrow to install new modem. |

I looked at the offerings and saw what they had to say about the Performance package I have which is 16/2 continuous, but temporarily higher with Power Boost, ~25/4.
They offering says "up to" 20/4. But when I look at the "Details and Restrictions" link, they still mention Power Boost and explain it fully.
As of today they haven't boosted me to 20/4 and eliminated the Power Boost. |

said by PeteC2:said by pflog:Weird, you're getting powerboost.
I think the whole "getting rid of powerboost" was a misnomer. I'm seeing more and more capped powerboost not "no powerboost". Perhaps that's what it was really about.
If so, that sucks. A lot. The short extremely high burst was useful. This extra 7 Mbps (27 to 34) I get is worthless. But at least you're getting boost from 50 to 100.
Funny, as Darknessfall might also confirm, when our performance speeds her in CT went up (officially 20/4, but more like 22/4.5) the PB for upload went away entirely, however, the PB on download changed to a big initial boost, then it falls off, as one would expect. It was more like what you are describing now previously in our area. Oh yes... the boost...
210 Mbps doesn't last too long when blocked by a PB cap :P. It lasts so short that you barely notice it. When watching Youtube videos, you just see random super high spikes when it jumps to another load lol. I actually hit a 70Mbps + average Youtube download speed one day a couple days ago due to the bursts lol. |
