How did you find the e-mail address of the CEO? They usually don't make those things public.

Oh, so then $30.00 is the normal pricing, not just a special to grab new customers, right? That's different. If they lower the price, then they should lower it for everyone and it's good that you complained and so should all the other subscribers. Good job.

That's great, but how long is that rate of $30.00 for? I honestly can't see them reducing your rate forever just because of an e-mail to the CEO. If it was that easy, everyone would be doing it. And it that's the case, I'm going to contact the CEO's of the phone company, the satellite dish company, the internet company, the cellular company, etc., etc. LOL

Yeah, it would be nice but I don't think we'll ever see it balanced here. Hey, we can all move to Europe or Japan, they have some great speeds over there. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 23182 Kbps about 23.18 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 2830 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 732 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Upload Speed is:: 89 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/01/15 - 6:41am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-46OC15QUD U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-3N4JLGDCQ User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727) [!]

Yes, it does help some more than others. Those who download 600Gb per month are still complaining though. They wouldn't be happy if they could download at 100 teraflops per second.

It generally lasts for about 20Mb and then starts to level off. But then it depends on the server you're downloading from. I've seen it last for up to 50 to 60Mb before it starts to level off.

Thanks dlewis23. Yes, I tend to forget that not everyone can achieve those speeds and that I'm extremely lucky I have a great connection.

We just got news today that now Comcast is going to be deploying Powerboost on the Upload side in February. We will be Powerboosting anywhere from 1 to 2Mbps, depending on our original tier. Should make a lot of people happy, but then some will still complain. Have a great day. Larry

Thanks all. Yes, fortunately those are pretty consistent speeds, except a few days back when some of the servers were having some problems. Even during peak times I can pull down those speeds. Have done quite a bit of tweaking and the RWIN I have now seems to be the best.

Powerboost is something Comcast is putting out in areas that don't have Verizon Fios. It gives your downloads a speed burst for about a minute before it starts to settle down to your advertised speed.
