etherealremnant Posted June 29, 2009 CID Share Posted June 29, 2009 Doesn't do me much good though. Comcast appears to have capped the downstream at 21Mbps - no more huge powerboost. I'm on Blast by the way. We're supposed to get residential Ultra and Extreme between 3Q and 4Q of this year. Business services already has it and is selling it throughout the metro.

Vorphalack Posted July 5, 2009 CID Share Posted July 5, 2009 Somewhere, in a metro area to the NE of you, I've been hitting these speeds on an S.A. DPC2505 consistently for about 11 months (all legit, gear/account/bootfile built for 50X5/etc)... Perhaps worth noting is that I did need to tweak my stack a bit (XP SP2) to hit my max - *particularly for the upstream*. YMMV on the stack tweaking... I've been running this copy of XP for ages, so I wouldn't be surprised if my 'tweaking' was actually just 'fixing' something pre-existing... :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 49867 Kbps about 49.87 Mbps (tested with 51200 kB) Download Speed is:: 6087 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 1527 Kbps about 1.5 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 186 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Main) Test Time:: 2009/07/05 - 2:58pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-YFNUB9XOV U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-1UE9PJOB3 User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3 [!] :::..

Meaning those extra 3 channels will be pretty lightly loaded, and available for you to hit your 22Mbps nice and consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
