Newby didn't even use the same speed test, hah!

Also, he's cheating cause he's on a college campus; those types of speeds are not available to residential customers at any price. And if they were, I'm not sure my harddrive would be fast enough for it to matter!

You might be right about that, Joe.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

At work:


I don't believe those results for a second; I've never been able to download files even remotely near those speeds here. Comcast must be compressing the data to inflate the results.

Back before I moved and got FiOS, I had comcast and they had some "speed boost" thing, where the first 10mb or so of a file would download way faster, and then it would slow to your normal speed. I'm sure that is good at speeding up those kind of tests.

Yes, it's called packet shaping. I made a thread ranting about that when they started doing it to me in Nashua. Long thread short: The FCC shut them down because it's a whole bunch of illegal bullshit.

I'm much happier with FiOS, anyways. :)

no, its actually something they still do and advertise

Quote from: comcast
PowerBoost provides bursts of download and upload speeds for the first 10 MB and 5 MB of a file, respectively, for 12 Mbps service and for the first 20 MB and 10 MB of a file, respectively, for 16 Mbps and 22 Mbps service

Yeah, "Speed Boost" is a totally different thing from their deep packet inspection and other questionable past and present practices.  i.e. sending RST packets to kill BitTorrent downloads.
