Have you ever heard of cable internet that fast? We just got a new modem from Comcast and my dad said it was way faster. I said he was full of shit but I drove home and sure enough it's that fast.

I kind of want to move back in with my parents now...

Lies.

At my apt. we have one of the highest signal strengths the TW guy has seen. We get 10mb down and .9mb up. Course, it's not comcast, but the best we could even get is 15mb if we upgraded.

It could be they pushed the wrong modem config file to your new modem.
Enjoy it.

Now I know why my speeds have been in the 10Mb range. PowerBoost makes those results meaningless.:disgust:

Not necessarily. You should try either very short download tests which will work before the speedboost kicks in, or very large speed tests where the first 20 megs or so will be at the speedboost rate and the rest at your regular max speed (if the test is large enough the first 20 megs will have a smaller impact on the speed number, of course)
