Re: [Speed] Speed increase. Well I tested my connection with a download and I'm getting PB up to about 30 Mbps and all over the place with sustained about 22.
Atleast... I think... 
I'm on a roller coaster with results from 22-40 Mbps with speedtests lol.
Task manager records me hitting 50 Mbps within that less than a second time lol. |

Re: [Speed] Speed increase said by johnnn:I'm off Stadium and experienced frequent congestion on Blast (36 down w/powerboost then 25) until they changed the route. Now I get my provisioned speeds more frequently. Looks like performance will go to 25/4 in a2, and blast will go to 50/10. Can't wait!
how much more blast is? it might be worth it if its only a few more bucks |

| These are the one second bursts I'm seeing on Performance lol.
It doesn't really last long enough to notice it on a download lol. |

Are you asking about sustained speeds?
I usually see about 22-23 Mbps I think sustained but not sure about the upload. PB is insane though right now lol. Youtube and other sites keep bursting up to 40-60 Mbps |

Re: [Speed] Speed increase. Performance here in Bristol, CT. I've seen no ads, but today running Shaper, it seems apparent that there has been a boost in speed, as well as seeing PB disappear from the upload, but is still running on download.
If I run Xfinity or other java-based speed tests (such as Speedtest.net or Speakeasy) I get wild bursts on download that settle down to about 24Mbps.
Looks like I am actually getting 22Mbps down/4Mbps up. Prior to that Shaper always shown a 16/2 shaped connection.
DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008.

1 edit | CT crazy burst high five! "High fives." I wonder if Camper got this too.
I love how shaper says my "Estimated Capacity" is "Downstream: greater than 200 Mbps"
That's not even true  . |

| When you take a speed test is it showing it hitting around 50-60 Mbps for a second then it plays ping pong with itself between 22-33 Mbps?
The PB stayed partially in this test before it ended ;p.

Yep, even had initial bursts higher than that. Keep in mind though, that is misleading. I am happy with a jump from 16Mbps to 22Mbps in sustained speed. Don't do much uploading personally, but a real world jump from 2 to 4Mbps is nice too.

| So where is this less than a second burst coming from? Whenever I see a download start task manager spikes to about 40 Mbps all the time. |

PB. It is still showing on downstream in Shaper So is that why it's ending so fast :P? It's bursting so high that it just cancels itself out quick?
Another thing to note: Comcast's site no longer says "with powerboost." It now just says "Up to 20 Mbps download speeds." |

Because "uncapped" powerboost boosts at the full available speeds for the channels you're on for the first X MB of a file. If it can push 100Mpbs and it's set to 20 MB then that's only 1.6s of 100Mbps boost before it ends.
With "capped" powerboost, powerboost is limited to Y Mbps for the first X MB of a file. This smooths out the boost over time so you get a boost for longer, but it's a smaller change from your shaped rate.

kudos:6 | Well, since my old AT&T "Elite" dsl account was a 6Mbps line, that delivered around 5.1Mbps with an upload speed of 0.76Mbps for only a few bucks less, I will not complain about 22/4.

Kind of the opposite for me, though this was years ago 
Try going from 25/25 business FiOS to 22/5 business Comcast (back in early 2010). That was painful! Although the FiOS was $30/mo more, it was well worth it for the upload speeds.
