Sorry to disappoint ya'll, Comcast's "theoretical speed burst" doesn't work as it sounds. According to comcast, the bursted speeds should apply to even a 600+ MB game being downloaded... But in reality, I've tried downloading several "large" files: BF2Patch 1.03 Nero Burning ROM 7.2.0.3b Optimum Online's 64 MB FTP test file And the result is... around 30 MB completion, the speed drops very low... Looks like Comcast did not provide what they were claiming... Here, I highlighted their claim, and also added comments on how they did NOT achieve what they were imagining (to beat FiOS).

Looks good. Did you tweak yet? With VanBurn's 10 Mbps tweak (version 9), you can get that speed test up to 24 Mbps. You also have to realize that you will not reach that speed in "real-world".

Yes, that is also what Comcast stated in their FAQ. Those with the old modem models, need to get the new model. It may very well be your modem limiting your bandwidth.

It's called joking

It will get to you, just wait

Hmm... after going to an RWIN of 128480, it seems that my speed is now stable, instead of jumping around and stuttering (with VanBurn's 10 Mbps tweak). I'll try 256960 next...

I'm well aware of PowerBoost. I'm just happy that I finally got it. I thought I was never going to get it

Looks like the speed isn't a fluke http://jdl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=10549 ^the "test link"

Was $34.95/month, and the state of PA. Now all Comcast has to do is give the upload a jump (say, triple it?)

Comcast Cable, yeah. I'm on their cheapest package...

Look at that download to upload ratio (difference)

To make you feel better, my friend is on a 512K/64K ADSL connection Not even joking... and he pays $30 a month... (I told him to go verizon, but it ain't available in his area).

Haha same, I was just jokin. Everyone wants FiOS, because: -Low latency -Fast upload AND download

I can finally say... screw FiOS (even though it isn't available to my area yet) *Edit*: Applied VanBuren's 10 Mbps tweak (Version 9) :::..

Yes I know, it averages all of the results in the "comcast.net" domain. I'm just saying Comcast needs to give a boost to the upload as well (they haven't since the 3 to 4 Mbps upgrade). I've also stated that I'm still awaiting the doubled download speed "powerboost" upgrade. I may not be in New England, but I'm only 300 miles or so away from Philadelphia.

Tier: 6 Mbps/ 384 Kbps Also expecting the new "doubled download speeds". Anyway, this thread is about solving the annoyance of "May need help, only running at comcast's crap speed upload"

That is totally opinionated Anyway, get the 7900GT, and then voltmod it, so you can easily destory a 7900GTX . I suggest you get the Zalman VF-900 for it too... Make sure you have heatsinks on the card's RAM.

I'm on the 6 Mbps plan... not the 8 Mbps plan
