Re: [Speed] Speed increase. Blast is usually upgraded to 50/10 when the performance tier gets the upgrade. YMMV. |

That boils down to 25/4. Isn't that just Blast in non Blast 50/10-15 areas? |

said by mrschultz02:f 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. Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize they were moving it to 22/4 instead of 25/4 (where powerboost used to take it). |

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.

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 |

| Same here in Mead Washington. Powerboost is no more. |

I also don't like that speed test. Was inaccurate for me.

Re: [Speed] Speed increase. No change here, in Miami, FL. Have an older biz plan, 16/2.
I'd love more upstream, but I'd feel bad about losing Powerboost! I like the fact that I can upload large images in an instant. |
