I'm not even a heavy user. Household of only 2 middle-aged adults.
6/2 isn't blast. We'd need a whole lot more info to troubleshoot this, but there is no way Comcast would (should) say this is "correct".

The 50/10 has never (as far as I know) had powerboost. Neither does the 100 tier.
Not true. At least in Illinois for the 50/15 (previously 50/10).
I still have it. Shaperprobe shows it and so do my real world downloads.

True. I think since the upload went from 10 to 15, UL PB is gone. I can't quite recall anymore. I'd have to find some of my old posts to compare.

Yeah, I know 6/2 isn't Blast tier service, but that's what I'm paying for. It says "Blast! Internet Service Includes Powerboost" right on my bills.
Maybe I'm in an oversold market? Or on an overloaded node? Chicago area. Pretty populous.

| It's hard to say without knowing what modem you're using. If you haven't already, call support and see if they can reprovision the modem.
But as NetFixer said, the best thing to do would be to create your own thread and provide the info he linked to. The issue you're having is separate from what this thread is for.
Good luck!

Hmmm... Had a 5 hour outage yesterday from 10 to 3, and when service came back up, channels had gone from 4 down and 1 up to 8 down and 3 up. Speeds are better, too.

Rebooting/resetting/reprovisioning the modem had done nothing before, the changes came only after yesterday's outage.
Um... thank you Comcast genie? Hell of a coincidence.

Doesn't look like a coincidence to me. It is more likely that your CMTS had problems, and Comcast fixed the problem. But as a network tech, I sometimes view ISP problems a bit differently than a consumer.

They suddenly just decided to fix a problem that had been going on for quite awhile?

They suddenly just decided to fix a problem that had been going on for quite awhile? I don't work for Comcast, and I am in no way responsible for (or privy to) their maintenance policies. However, in general, sometimes it not only takes time to diagnose a problem, but in the case of needing to take down a piece of equipment (such as a CMTS or DSLAM) that would effect a large number of users, a management decision has to be made to allow that deliberate downtime to occur. In your case, they may have waited and done the "fix" for your problem, and the upgrade to allow more bonded channels at the same time (or possibly the upgrade did indeed just coincidentally fix your problem).

Petersham, MA | Speaking of CMTS,...either of you know of a depot that repairs them? I have 26 ARRIS 1000s that are dead. I have gotten 2 recommendations for a guy in Dallas but I've never dealt with them. |

you really don't want them repaired...besides, the labor cost alone will be almost equivalent to buying a new units...
or you might even go back to Arris and ask for a credit exchange towards the purchase of new units...
how did you end up with 26 units anyway? |

Billings, MT | I did try ARRIS, thought the same as you mentioned, but they won't touch these 1000 & 1500 CMTS.
As far as labor pricing to repair, ... I was quoted $800. a piece to refurbish the internal upconverter, the motherboard, along with software & firmware upgrades.
Just thought someone, or either of you might know of another sourse. Guess I'll go with this Dallas engineer, ...I've gotten 2 recommendations about him. |

Correct. i've had 50/10 at work for the last few years, and its never had powerboost.
Here are my results for home connection.
Belvidere, NJ and was paying for 16/2, which included powerboost.
Just noticed my speed changed yesterday. Powerboost is gone, but speed up/down have increased!

Correct. Not really correct. Even if there's a single exception, it's not correct. Yep, logical fallacy. It sounds like some areas had no PB and others had it on the 50/10.
What I should have said is that I don't think business class 50/10 ever had powerboost. But perhaps it did in some areas?

Actually, you may be right WRT business class. I think I've seen before where people have mentioned no PB on business class. I didn't see anyone refute that claim.

Actually, you may be right WRT business class. I think I've seen before where people have mentioned no PB on business class. I didn't see anyone refute that claim. This could be why the tech support people always swore up and down that business class had no PB. The lower tiers (12/2, now 17/3 and 22/5 now 27/7) have PB (for now), but the 50/10 and 100/10 did not. But yeah, that's why I said 50/10 didn't have powerboost, I should have clarified I was thinking in terms of business class. Sounds like res had it in some areas
