Thanks for confirming, neighbor!
So if it's upload in the range of 2 to 3 Mbps that defines Blast, then I'm not it. So I've got reason to take to tech support. But according to the other thread, my "silver" is just one notch above standard. It's not even PowerBoost... or is it? I'm rated at download 6 Mbps and upload 384 Kbps. Do they (or did they) simply add "Powerboost" on top of my "silver" without charging me? (Another reason why I'm glad to discover all these things here and not directly from the Comcastic horse's mouth)
Just now during this dinner hour, I get:
What exactly is "sustained download file transfers" if these speedtests don't show it? How can I also test for it?
I've always been skeptical and glad to hear somebody describe it. I notice so many replies in this thread and elsewhere with speedtest results worse than mine but they happily report getting Blast. LOL. |

Sustained download is downloading some BIG file, or files, that will run for longer than PowerBoost lasts.
Speed tests do not run long enough for PowerBoost to run out so anything shown is just Boost.
