Have a few clients on Comcasts 50/10 and 100/10 packages...they rock. Good uptime. I don't consider Comcast expensive compared to other higher rate broadbands. Plus Comcasts biz support dept is excellent, local people...no "Habu's in India" like the telco's.
There is no speedboost or whatever dumb marketing ploy they use with business class. I think the burst is just the time it takes for the TCP window size to negotiate with comcast server or for quality of service throttling they use to control bandwidth. It just takes a few moments to kick in.
Comcast employs what is known as a “Token bucket system”. “Tokens” (representing data) flow into a “Bucket” at a constant rate and the bucket “fills up”. When you first begin a download, you start by downloading data from your “bucket”. There is no artificial limitation on the speed at which you can download (burst) from your “bucket” and it is common to see speeds in excess of 60Mbps. Once your bucket is depleted however, your download slows and continues only at the speed at which data is flowing into your “bucket”.

I'm also on Comcast business 22/5. My burst at this point is mainly limited by the CPU in my m0n0wall, the Pentium 2 450mhz caps out at about 60Mbps and I've been lazy to upgrade it, but it doesn't really matter beyond the burst.

Except on their Docsis 3 business plans...they don't use the SpeedBoost (first 10 megs of a download are wide open at whatever free bandwidth your node has).....the speeds I bench at at my clients Docsis 3 biz plans are what I get all freaking day long 24x7 no matter how huge the file is.

$200 for 50/10 ? Kind of lame considering they give 50/10 for $100 to home users.

I would love to have the 50/10 but they are really gouging for charging another 89 a month at $189.00 per month for that plan. I cant understand why the fact that Docsis 3 can support 160/140 or something like that and comcast and other cable isp's are sticking us with shit bandwidth plans.
I'm on DOCSIS 3.0 and so is the OP otherwise bursts wouldn't be as high as they are. SpeedBoost behaves exactly the same, and exactly as expected.
If you have any actual data that supports your theory, please post it here as I'd love to see it.

YeOld is correct in that Business accounts do not have SpeedBoost
If I'm really REALLY bored I'll post speedtests from a dozen diff clients sprinkled around the state. But others here have posted the same as me also...so...nah...I ain't that bored.
I work for Comcast Business Class (in fact, Atlanta is in my support area..sup OP) and this post is wrong.

To add with jiveturkey. You're pretty much 100% wrong.
Speedboost is not a marketing ploy......its the same as business.......you get an initial burst of speed over of what your normal download speed plan is (6mb would get 12, 12 would get 22, 22 would get 36ish so on and so forth) for a few moments, then it would go back down to normal speed. If there was a speed test to
Just because the Docsis platform is XXX upload.....does not mean ISP's can just pump that shit out like Dunken Doughnuts does Doughnuts......does not work that way.
There is also the issue of bandwidth on the freq range.....Comcast for my area when I worked for them (around a year ago) was channel's 80-84. Thats in the 600mhz freq range iirc.....it sounds easy but all they have to do is squeeze another quad channels of freq to up the speed, along with a few tweaks to the whole system. Not an easy thing to do, but it costs money.....
Then they still have to figure out how to keep HD channels in that same freq band too....which its hard as well. I think per freq range Comcast has 2-3 HD channels in it?
Ugh, been a while since I took my CT3 training So I maybe off on a few things, but its an example none the less.
had terrible luck with Comcast 'business" service. That being said, I've now got a metro E circuit from Comcast, much better.
Wow how much are you paying for that? I would love to get a 100m ethernet to my home. But that is probably about $1700.00/mon
And to others out there I was simply told there was not speedboost on the business circuits. However I am only as good as the information that is shared with me by other comcast employees. Of course that was some time ago. Anyways speedboost is just a marketing gimmick to get lesser tech minded people to go "OH MY, I CAN GET A BOOST". And have no clue what that is.
I have had my business circuit now for about 3 days and I have downloaded over 200GB already transferring images and backups etc... to some of my equipment. it is rock solid stable bandwidth.

Suffered under Comcast for much too long and just dumped them in favour of XMission Utopia fiber-to-the-home...100Mbps/100Mbps is actually much cheaper than Comcast was at only $45/month: http://www.xmission.com/utopia#more
I'm on a 75/75 w/Fios and it's a very stable connection. From the right sources I can run at my max speed (9.3MB/s) non-stop 24/7. I was paying ~$70 to Comcrap for a 25/3 connection with the retarded data cap and this is $130 w/no cap at all. Pretty sure it's only this cheap because we have a pretty competitive local market. I think the 35/35 is only $50 a month and the 25/25 is $40 and no you don't have to have any other services with them either. Pretty badass. They even let you run straight ethernet into your house so you don't have to use any of their inside equipment.

Mind telling us a rough cost? Looks like I can't quite get it here yet, but I plan to call and find out next week.
Dude look at that website he linked. In his small Utah town they are paying like $30/mon lol...
If I got a 100meg ethernet to my house in Atlanta I would be paying in the realm of $9000.00/mon.
Still wish there wasn't any but 1TB cap seems alot more reasonable nowadays than Comcast's 250MB caps!
