Re: Too much download?

Your right for the most part. Many web sites cap speeds to each session so that a small number of users don't grab all their available bandwidth. But a few of the larger most frequented web sites that are serving up a lot of large files(Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc) do have the capacity to provide higher speeds. And since most users go there, they should see some benefit.

But most users just browsing and downloading email will see only minor differences. And I agree with the news article that most users would have preferred a little more upload capacity to speed those uploaded JPEGS and home videos on the way to grandmas after the grandkids birthday party.

And to get ready for the POWERBOOST, I traded in my SB4100 for a DCM425 that supports DOCSIS 1.1 and 2.0 for future, hopefully higher speed uploads.
