I've been hearing about Comcast business customers getting a speed boost but I hadn't seen that happening on our connection. Today, I received a letter from Comcast indicating that our connection speed, previously 8Mb/1Mb, had been doubled both downstream and up speeds. The letter also indicated that I might need to do a hard reset on the cable modem to see the new speeds. So, I reset the modem and, sure enough, we are getting faster speeds that we were previously set up for, though I have never seen us near the cap from a workstation on our network (but who's complaining). Nice! Great for a school on an ever DECREASING budget.
I had also heard about a Power Boost feature to give you a quick boost on your first 100 MB (or something like that). The letter I received did not go into specifics but did refer to such a feature.
We will be upgrading our servers soon. More posts to come on that. Stay tuned!
