What do you get on speed tests with speed boost?

Here in Canada I pull 30mbps/1mbps on Shaw

they flood me with RST packets whenever i try to seed... (damnit)


EDIT: and if anyone wants to challenge me on that, I've got packet-captures of it, so yes, they still mess with torrenting.

That's great. I can't wait to move into my apartment at the end of the week that uses Comcast.

I can only say that it varies greatly by location, I mean, my friend across town can seed about 1/2 the time and he has comcast. It really varies alot by location.

Actually, the power boost thing confuses speed tests:

If you mean implementing better protocol agnostic network management technologies to reduce abuse then you are correct.

If they had invested in their infrastructure and managed their network properly they wouldn't care, they'd be raking in the profits and everyone would have FTTH, but comcast likes to low ball everything while charging out the ass for service.

They dug their grave and now they are implementing half assed solutions to try and scramble out of it.

Natick, MA....you officially blow. Can't have FIOS (even though you have been installing it for 3 years here) and can't have this (not available). All you have given me is headaches:( Between your horrible traffic and your boring city (or town, or vilage, or whatever), I cannot find 1 redeeming thing about you!

I hate that town. Whenever my noob gf wants me to go to Natick Collection from Cambridge, I end up going through like THREE TOLLs via Mass pike.

Torrents != Abuse.

Actually, we meant disrupting legal torrent we use for university programs ect ;)

They really need to find a better way. Torrents were in use before people used them for music :(

dude....just take rt. 9....... or rt. 16 to rt. 9. It's actually faster when there is no traffic.

Never call it the Collection. It's still the Natick Mall. Us Waylanders have nothing better to do than debate this.
