I'd personally do as Joe suggests
You might be right about that, Joe.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

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.

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.
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
