FGOKURULES Posted June 23, 2006 CID Share Posted June 23, 2006 I know,,, it's a gimmick.. A way to get people to keep the service and not go to DSL for a lot cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentGOD Posted June 23, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 23, 2006 The problem now though, is that speed test databases will be filled with this "boosted speed", and not the connections' "true speed". Which then ends up averaging Comcast's speeds a bit higher (quite a bit actually) than what they actually are. Which then, Comcast can use this information to convince people like you and I to keep Comcast, or even better yet, they could even be targetting people to pay the extra $10 for the greater boost.

dlewis23 Posted June 23, 2006 CID Share Posted June 23, 2006 funny You know why They don't offer any faster upload speeds on their internet services???? probally so people cant share stuff via bittorrent, and also so they cant run a very good server.

AgentGOD Posted June 23, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 23, 2006 you did alot of swtiching around there. Upload stayed about the same I loved that REAL 10 Mbps "upgrade" though... until it just "disappeared" 3 months later. And yes, the speed was stable. Only took like 15 min to download a 600 MB file. probally so people cant share stuff via bittorrent, and also so they cant run a very good server. About the server thing, I ran a CS:S Server for my clan's scrim (back in year 2005 in january) and it could only run a 10 people server. If more people had to play, it eventually was lagging badly (everyone had like 100+ ms ping and eventually into the 500's). They were all complaining about the lag too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
