Lame. But imagine how nice 3MB/sec is! I downloaded a 2GB download in about 10 minutes. Rockin. I never imagined Comcast could hit these speeds but from the team meeting we had awhile back, they can hit 30Mbps on what bandwidth is currently allocated to HSI. They are quadrupling that some time next year or early 2008. They're expecting to be able to hit 100Mbps per subscriber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 14, 2006 CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 you just have powerboost and thats probably cached so clear your cache and try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherealremnant Posted December 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 Try again. Its not cached. Same result from Windows XP and Vista. They really ARE testing these speeds. They have plans to hit 100Mbps by January of 2008 and this is phase one of that transition. They have to have SOMETHING to answer Qwest and Verizon with, you know. If it was powerboosting, the "boost" drops off after 45 seconds of a download. The first image shows a download near completion that is still at those speeds.

Blunted 2 Posted December 14, 2006 CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 i still think its powerboost cause i looked at your scores and alot of other powerboost users get those speeds way after the 45 second mark. sorry but i still doubt it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherealremnant Posted December 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 Dude trust me, I know how Powerboost works and its not meant to work that long. If you look at my first screenshot, I was 600MB into my download and still getting those speeds. That's about 4 minutes into that download. Here's another shot for you; Powerboost isn't supposed to hit speeds over twice the connection speed you pay for. I pay for 8Mbps therefore I shouldn't get above 16. If you look at that screenshot though, ~3.5MB/sec is most certainly way above 2MB/sec. It stays that way through the whole download. Do I need to take a video to prove this to you? I really don't care if you believe me or not. I know what kind of speeds I'm seeing and I'm just letting everyone know that there's hope coming for those that are stuck on slower Comcast. Some areas don't even have 8Mbps yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 14, 2006 CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 well just wait a little and i bet some powerboost users come in here and post what you have and i said the same thing to them. some get that high and even for that long of a download for some reason.

etherealremnant Posted December 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 Then I will let the download just about finish and post a new screen shot... there's no way its still powerboost when you're 1200MB through a download. EDIT: You DO realize this is a national test, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 14, 2006 CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 i dont know but i have seen some weird comcast tests and i dont think they are coming out with that cause they dont even have there 16/1 service out in all area's where fios is and that makes me think its not real unless they announced it. my isp is coming out with a 50/50 that is in beta and they announced it and will be available in Q1 of 2007 so until it is announced i dont believe it. sorry but thats me i need facts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherealremnant Posted December 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 dude I've shown you a number of tests illustrating this. I was browsing while that file was downloading, so the speed fluctuated a bit, but this program even shows you my average download speed. Powerboost CAN NOT go for over 1200MB of a download. Period. If people are getting that long of a sustained download speed, then that is their download speed. Comcast has a lot of tricks up their sleeve, like IPTV, Video conferencing through cable, and the WiMax network they're building with the spectrum they bought. Just because you haven't heard about something doesn't mean its false. EDIT: Comcast tests just about everything internally through their employees before launching it to the public. It minimizes customer frustration when something doesn't work right. We get the new single tuner DVRs to test first before they're released, we get all the new programming guides (god what a nightmare), we get new tests on bandwidth, and any time Comcast comes out with a new modem or a new box, it goes to employees first. We're the guinea pigs for everything, whether we like it or not. Something like this, I don't mind. But when they asked me to trade in my Motorola HD-DVR3416 for a new Pace single tuner, I got annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 14, 2006 CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 you know what try this program with windows xp http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/docsdiag/#runwin download docsdiag and when you open the folder click the 2kXP-win and type java -jar docsdiag.jar -vvv>output.txt and then look in the folder that you downloaded and a file called output will be there. attach it in your next post and i'll tell you what your cap is and until you do it i wont believe you. sorry but i need the facts here is a program thet will make a graph of what speeds you downloaded at if you want to try it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunted 2 Posted December 14, 2006 CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 the modem doesnt matter its the ISP and if it responds to SNMP it will work. try the program i said above with the graphs and post what that says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherealremnant Posted December 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 Either the monitor program or my download program is wrong with the figures its giving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etherealremnant Posted December 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 Wow its impossible to sustain those speeds if I start doing anything else that uses the hard drive lol. Why can't websites be fast enough to handle a single connection at those speeds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blunted 2 Posted December 14, 2006 CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 what programs you using cause some throw it off a bit and i just find it hard to believe. comcast doesnt even offer its highest tier in all of its area's yet and didnt even finish this old upgrade yet so why wwould they offer a new 1 and still keep that slow 768 upload. if its right then good for you man just show me some proof if you get it sometime do a speedtest on these http://www.testmy.net/tools/test/d_load.php?&st=st&tt=1&ta=1&top=000&out_src=20MB www.speakeasy.net/speedtest http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etherealremnant Posted December 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted December 14, 2006 i tried to get on the beta for 50/50 but i cant because its not in my area yet Ouch. That sucks. But it'll be there soon enough. Sooner than we'll get 50 with Comcast, that's for sure. etherealremnant what package u on the 30mb/s >>> I'm paying 10/mo for 8Mbps (the other 42.95 is paid since I work for them) - I haven't gotten to check my account to see if they've put any new speed codes on there. Its kinda not allowed for us to check out accounts because of the temptation to give ourselves credit and such that exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
