Anyone else been "boosted"?

[Thisismyname]

This means you can now achieve insane speeds. I just scored 29Mbps on the speed test in peak hours for fun. I wonder what the limit for boosting is....

No upload increase however. We can now see 30/768Kbps....sad, I know.

[asubaseball727]

No, I'm waiting. Where do you live?

^ There's another who's been boosted.

Too bad the upload is still horrible. ( How bout a site where someone gets about 2 million Comcast subscribers to say they would transfer to fios as soon as they get in their area because of Comcast's crappy upload speeds? Would eat a lot of bandwidth though. haha)

[BigRooster]

Dont think the speed tests are viable with the speed boost because it's not your normal speed - 6mbit or 8mbit depending on your particular package.

Thats not proof. Test with 12 MB.

I have the 6 Mb service, and this is my score with 5983 kB

Like I said it is only on the downside. Files tend to keep speeds between 20-30Mbps for mins actually. I think I did a 150MB or so file at 25Mbps constant.

[nismo1k]

weird thing is that I noticed downstream are boosting in my laptop, but

not on my desktop. 

why can't they just boost speed 24/7, it pretty pointless if you ask me...

[bosanacc]

How is it I'm receiving this speed from the AOL, and not from the Internet Explorer.  Does anybody know how can I tweak up my system to get this speed on Internet Explorer?
