[quote shadow]]For large file transfers, ignore the whole "PowerBoost" thing. Your agreement with Comcast is most likely for 6 MB down, 768 kB up. This translates to sustained transfers of 768 kB per sec down and 96 kB per second up. Throw in protocol overhead and your are more likely to expect around 600 kB per sec down and 76 kB per second up.
Assuming a 5G file and a 100% dedicated channel, it should take about 19 hours to transfer. What estimated transfer times are you seeing?
38 hours, and I'm on Comcast's highest speed (residential) plan!
