Re: [Speed] Speed increase I saw the Xfinity ad here in Detroit.
Rolling across the top, it said "Doubling speeds on our 2 fastest tiers soon" and "200meg service coming this summer." |

If you can, please post screenies or a captured radio ad if possible. I want to see/hear this with my own eyes/ears. |

| I heard the ad again too. This time I listened better and as jblues said double for 2 fastest tiers (I would guess is Blast and extreme).
But they also said about 60% faster for their most popular tier, which I assume is performance.
Kind of hard to record the ad going 75 on the freeway  |

Yeah, I'd say Blast and Extreme as well. Basically a mirror of what the NE area got a year ago.
And according to here, Performance is getting updated to the current Blast! speed of 25/4

PS: Record it when you can. It's understandable going down the freeway. |

You're only going 75 mph on a Detroit freeway? When I lived there you'd be run over by the gasoline tankers doing 90 mph. In fact the state cops didn't stop folks on I-96 going less than 90 because there were plenty doing 100 mph or higher between Detroit and Lansing. |

| I didn't want to incriminate myself...lol OK so maybe a little faster  |

I have Blast (Freedom region) upgraded us about a year ago to 50/10. Just ran shaperprobe now so you can see:
DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008.
Shaper Detection Module.
Connected to server 203.5.76.139.
Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 10411 Kbps.
Downstream: 50064 Kbps.
The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.
Checking for traffic shapers:
Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 10229 Kbps.
Downstream: No shaper detected.

Excellent! *kisses ya, bugs bunny style* Exactly what I was looking for.
Reminds me of something Dadkins said back in the day about Comcast Blast! 16/2 vs AT&T DSL @ 6 megs.
Speeds AT&T just can't match. We both had a great laugh over it, despite me never seeing the Cali commercial.
Damned fine work capturing this. |

Very excited about this. The west Ann Arbor routing topology recently changed significantly...they moved to a single xe-SUR router between here and Pontiac and speeds have already been more consistent since then. Can't wait for the new config file! |

Im by washtenaw ave, still no change here. I dont think the change of route makes any difference speed wise.
we have performance, 25Mb down with power boost and then 16. what will i get after the new speed increase ? |

Ypsilanti, MI | 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! |

| 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 |
