Did you power cycle? Meh... I am not at home, my connection doesn't show any change from 12/2 without cycling.

Yes, I did power cycle yesterday in the evening before I went to bed Because I had a router firmware upgrade available so I did power cycle both the router and the modem. And now when I am downloading files I am looking at speed around consistent 3.5-3.7 Mbps. Before this I use to get 2.7 Mbps Consistent but as of now I do get 3.5.-3.7 Consistent. |

kudos:3 | Can you run shaperprobe to see if it corroborates these results?
/me power cycles modem and prepares for disappointment...

Looks like it's updated here in Fresno, too. Shaperprobe shows 25/7, though the connection is in use right now. Solid 22/5 last week. There was a forced reboot of the update last night, thanks to PG&E. |

Looks like it is working here too with no modem reboot that I know of.
Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 7700 Kbps.
Downstream: 36244 Kbps.
Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 7168 Kbps.
Downstream: Burst size: 19261-19689 KB;
Shaping rate: 28746 Kbps.
That capacity estimate is worrisome. I normally saw 129000+ onn the download before this change. |

Tomball, TX | In Houston it looks like we have the new speeds too. I ran a shaperprobe yesterday and got the expected values for 22/5 speeds - now they are:
Connected to server 38.98.51.25.
Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 11675 Kbps.
Downstream: greater than 100 Mbps.
The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.
Checking for traffic shapers:
Upstream: Burst size: 9468-9621 KB;
Shaping rate: 7392 Kbps.
Downstream: Burst size: 9454-11970 KB;
Shaping rate: 50474 Kbps.
Note the downstream shaping rate normally is about 47000 Kbps with the 22/5 speeds. |

Ugh. prober now CRASHES my modem when I run it. It reboots itself. 
Also, my download burst speed used to hit near 100 mbps during speed boost, looks like it's throttled down to 60 now. Although if it means sustained 27 instead of 22 down and 7 up instead of 5, I'll take it.
Wonder why it's crashing though.

Lucky you. I used to see powerboost speeds in excess of 100Mb. Best I can do now on speed tests, even Comcast's local speed test, is 36Mb down and 7Mb up. Looks like I have gotten royally screwed. |

Ok so I definitely see more like 3.3-3.5 MB/s down now and 850-950 KB/s up (formerly 22/5 plan), but the speed are erratic and I get very little boost now.
Wonder if they are still ironing out the shaping their doing with the new speed profiles or if something further down the line is still configured for the old profile?

You do know you get what you pay for right? - Granted if you have the 100meg tier and you get 36meg down now then yes, that would be cause for concern - yet those files were not updated. That bug that showed your speeds in excess of 2x-5x was just a glitch in the Matrix. |

I was on 22 / 5 business class package and this is what it is showing at the moment. |

Yes, damn those real-world, sustained use speed upgrades that you received. Obviously you got cornholed. |

I greatly benefited from the short bursts. I don't download binaries from news groups like so many here complain about. |

| You were never intended to get those bursts to begin with. Deal with it. |

I am not getting what I pay for. As part of what I PAY for is the ability to have the initial burst speeds which are included in my package.
Go do some reading about what is provided as it is part of what I PAY for and not a bug! |

No, I will not.
Business, at least at the 22/5 package, has ALWAYS gotten power boost. Before you go off spouting off to something you have no clue about, go read up on it first! |

I have business 22/5 (aka, 27/7) at the office, as evidenced by the fact that I confirmed that I'm receiving the new speeds. Not sure what type of crack you're smoking saying that I'm "spouting off." 22/5 has always had the ridiculous powerboost thing, but that has always been a bonus. Nowhere in the contract that I, or you, signed does it say that we're entitled to 100+ burst download speeds and 35+ burst upload speeds.
Now, based on the speedtest that I just did, it appears that that tier still has PB. I tested it at 38/8, which is still above and beyond what the contract states that I should be getting. Be glad you don't have the 50/10 business class; there's no PB at all on that tier. |

You are not in my martket and have no idea what was in the contract I signed. However, by your know it all attitude and arrogance, you can a take flying leap! |
