You're right on that. But most of the nodes out this way are 2-4 splits and the way I understand DOCSIS specs is that they're able to deliver 10Mbps to the node.

I'm not so sure that they aren't upgrading to DOCSIS 2.0/3.0 though. I don't see how else they can plan to offer 30+ in the near future unless they do. That is unless there is some way they can bind multiple 6MHz bands together to form a larger overall stream. They've dropped 3 analog channels here recently, which frees up some extra bandwidth right there.

I'm not going to worry about it either way though. I'm honestly quite happy with 8Mbps and a stable internet connection. I could be stuck on Qwest phone lines with crap DSL so I'm quite content with what I pay for.

I posted two results from Speakeasy and I also explained that none of the dslreports servers even catch my powerboost speed.

I'm not posting any more evidence for you. I know what speeds I am getting. I know I'm not just powerboosting for 3 or 4GB at a time and I know what I was told by Comcast when I called to question why my speeds were so high out of fear I was going to get accused for uncapping my modem. I'm done jumping through hoops but just to appease you, here's a dslreports speedtest using the Net@ccess server (which is nowhere near Colorado):

Horrible. That's the only one that's not saying its busy every time I go to test.

Using a Sprint site here in Denver:

Your Results:

10,171 Kbps Download Size: 995,974 bytes

1,271 KBytes per second Download Time: 0.77 secs

Testmy.net is the only one that seems capable of even handling powerboost, much less anything else.

Now that I got Megapath working:

Its also kind of not fair to test on Optonline considering that you've got servers closer than 900 miles away to test on.......

Last Result:

Download Speed: 13986 kbps (1748.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 705 kbps (88.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

Another Speakeasy for you.

Well, if he says he works for Comcast, I believe him.  Sure, I'm still a bit skeptical, mostly because of powerboost and 768 upload, but I believe him for now.  What kind of uploads are they planning on offering with that 30 Mbps package when they release it to the public?  896 Kbps?    :haha:

TW and Comcast are sitting in a tree together.  Seems like both of them, especially TW, think 512kbps or 768kbps is enough for home use.  But at least this thread shows a hint of proof that Comcast is thinking about the future (download wise).  Adelphia upgraded my area to Docsis 2.0 over a year ago (maybe even longer), and now... I'm stuck at 8/512.  Ugh... at this point I'd rather pay $30/month for 3/384 DSL but I can't get it.

Good luck to those of you who get the faster speeds.
