From the tech I talked to it is. But they are putting boost in areas that have a higher demand so they say. I'm boosting and my PFS gaming is lovin it....

[move][glow=red,2,300]Boost away!!!!!![/glow][/move] ballista you live in JAX. Our numbers are almost the same.

Congratulation to you

I just went through the same thing with Comcast. Called the night it started and the Tech on line saw that I had a Node gone bad and that they were working it. He told me that 60 of 69 people on the node had already called in. There was no other info beyond that. No estimated time of repair or even what was wrong other than node issues. I call the next day and they told me there was no problem and it was on my end. They continued to tell me that my signal way good. You could not get them to understand that it was a connectivity issue and that they were having partial node issues. I kept loosing sync every 3-5 minutes. Called again the next day and after the fox went around the rabbit hole several times I asked for a manager. Instead I got a Sr Tech and he again insisted that it was on my end. I explained that I'm a Work Group Manager and I had brought my tools home and from the box to my house was perfect. I caved and told him to send a tech then. The Tech said I had the best line and signal he has ever seen and could not see any problems. Then I showed him my logs from broadbandreports line monitoring I had been doing. 32% availability for 7 days then it went to 56% then to 72% and dropped to 21%. Then he followed me to the front of my neighborhood and I showed him the node. I wounder why the node cover was gone and the ground was freshly dug up. He called in and after 10 min he said that I did have a partial node connectivity issue and they had no idea how long it would take to fix. I e-mailed my spreedsheets and got three months credit due to the trouble and no one knowing anything. Don't let them talk you in a circle. Monitor it yourself, log and track it and send them the proof. I guess they fixed it tonight, my speeds are back up and running. Good Luck

My internet started smokin tonight after the 3am maintenance routine.

I have been on the 6Mbps tier for some time now. A few months back I decided to shell out $10 for the 8Mbps tier and another $10 for static IP's. My comcast is boosting for sure

I just installed a new ASUS 240 MIMO 802.11g mini-pci wireless into my Panasonic CF-50 Toughbook. I had an old IntelPro/Wirelebb 2100B model. I'm using aBelkin Pre-N router also.

You know it... The reason I got the top tier is for gaming. Currently planing BattleField 2142 and yea the gaming has step up a notch....

Is comcast finally trying to get with the Fiber band of brothers or what. I guessing they are just setting up in my area and have unlocked things till they are all set up. Hope these speeds last a while. It would be nice. Maybe they forgot things in my area and will forget us. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 25097 Kbps about 25.1 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 3064 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 727 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 1496 kB) Upload Speed is:: 89 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/01/16 - 8:23pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-6AU4Y9ESI U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-8I2YMPNXT User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) [!]

I rebooted cable modem today.

Opps

I played around for a bit of time this morning and this is the best I can get. I like the cable nuts and Van's settings but my Comcast doesn't. The TCPOptimizer seems to work better for me.

I think they are playing catch up right now.

Had the same problem here in North Florida as well. The reason the IM's and VON programs work is due to that port on the comcast net not being effected by the outage (upgrading). I was talking on Team SPeak and my friends in south florida, TX, MN, IL, NC, SC, and CA all had the same problem and at the same time. WE could talk but not read e-mail, surf, or play games. That was a week or so ago. All seems fine now.

My speeds.

I upgraded last week from the 4.0 MBto the 6MB-786.
