Scarborough, ON | Just remember that when you run a speed test, the results are often inflated by the Rogers Speedboost, which detects when there is available bandwidth on the network and automatically provides a temporary burst of speed for the first 10 MB of a download or stream. It is not often that you hear that Rogers does a great job! |

My download will be at 90.00 mb/s plus sometimes. This upload is a bonus to me, putting it to the test wright now. I didn't think there was a speed boost on the upload either. |

Scarborough, ON | My post above does state that Speedboost applies for the for first 10 MB of a download. Also according to their Website "SpeedBoost technology is available with the Rogers network and is included with your Hi-Speed Internet service at no additional charge." The one tier that it does not appear to be available on is Lite, where an Express Pass is available for 1 day.

How does one go about asking Rogers for this? What's the procedure? Do I call regular Contact Us number? |

One does not. One has to wait for Rogers to upgrade their area. That's currently only happening in parts of the GTA. Rogers says it will take years for their entire footprint to be upgraded.
When your area is upgraded, there should be a notice about the increased speeds on your bill.
LINCSAT: Out of curiosity, do you know if Rogers has stopped analogue cable TV service in your area? |

There is, according to speedtest.net.

Yes my cisco is 8*4, a while back I recieved a phone call from a rogers tech from his truck and he informed me that a upgrade would occur in a few days. He informed me of a change in my modem and after this occured the upload went to 10up. I am not involved in any beta that I know of. I don't subscribe to cable tv. |

Speedboost is FOR SURE NOT the first 10MB although thats what Rogers says it is.
If you download something like ~100MB file on E+ and its going at something very fast, like 5MB/s, the speedboost can last the entire file.
Its more like in the first 20 seconds, if there is available bandwidth then you get it. I'm 99% sure this is how it works.
This is especially true for things like local youtube caches.... I used to use deturl.com and download epicmealtime off youtube at 720p-1080p and it would speedboost the entire file.
But i dont have Rogers anymore.... |

I read it somewhere on their website.
It would make sense that youtube might appear not affected, but it is. Flash requires much less space than mpeg2/4, thus may appear unaffected by the speedboost but it is in fact.

Speedboost is for the first 10MB not the first 100MB. officially it is for the first 10MB.
but technically if you've actually experienced it, there is no way this is true.
Its for ~20 seconds, and sometimes its 5MB/s, sometimes more , sometimes less, you can work out that if its going 5MB/s and the speedboost is longer than 2 seconds (speedtest takes around 7secs and still reports a faster speed) that its almost always much more than 10MBs!!!
Anyways speedboost is variable speed, and is by TIME not DATA, therefore, it cant simply be the first 10MB.... |

Maybe i remembered reading 10, and tried comparing it to a download and saw it last a lot longer than 10, close to 100 and that stuck in my mind.... either way, 10MB must be wrong.

I think 10MB might be accurate for the former 10mbps tier, because that's about how long it would be effective for. I can say that on my 32 mbps tier I see about 5MB-6MB/sec for around 10 seconds and then it drops back to 4MB/sec. |
