Thisismyname Posted June 3, 2006 CID Share Posted June 3, 2006 This means you can now achieve insane speeds. I just scored 29Mbps on the speed test in peak hours for fun. I wonder what the limit for boosting is.... http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/74974 No upload increase however. We can now see 30/768Kbps....sad, I know.

asubaseball727 Posted June 4, 2006 CID Share Posted June 4, 2006 No, I'm waiting. Where do you live? http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/1016854~7c9b01018a1b54038588b4005fa20ad6/23101.JPG ^ There's another who's been boosted. Too bad the upload is still horrible. ( How bout a site where someone gets about 2 million comcast subscribers to say they would transfer to fios as soon as they get in their area because of comcast's crappy upload speeds? Would eat a lot of bandwith though. haha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRooster Posted June 4, 2006 CID Share Posted June 4, 2006 Dont think the speed tests are viable with the speed boost because it's not your normal speed - 6mbit or 8mbit depending on your particular package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismo1k Posted June 16, 2006 CID Share Posted June 16, 2006 weird thing is that I noticed downstream are boosting in my laptop, but not on my desktop. why can't they just boost speed 24/7, it pretty pointless if you ask me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted June 19, 2006 CID Share Posted June 19, 2006 Welcome to the forum bosanacc those speeds are cached, the reason why is AOL does local caching there is no way to get around it. unless you dont use the aol software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
