Re: PowerBoost on 8M/768K service is Borked?

I think it would be nice for this well educated community to get together and find a nice, routine, standardized way to test "powerboost". A lot of posters write "my Powerboost isn't working", but leave out any details as to why they feel this way. It would be nice to have a little guide by those who understand exactly what is going on with Powerboost so that we can all "test" our connections to see if

a. Powerboost is even present in our area
b. What the average Powerboost level is for each of our connections
c. If there is a sudden decrease in Powerboost but not provisioned speed

Just a nice 5-10 step process, as speed tests don't work and I keep hearing about large files not being a good test either (FTP a 25 MB file).

First you would need to get Comcast to bypass the marketing ISP-speak and actually publish the specs. Don't hold your breath.

I have been getting 8.2Mbps speed test results on multiple speed test sites for the past year. This has never changed since Powerboost is supposedly available in my area.
