I'm setting up new service in the US, and I'm currently assuming that = all of Comcast's rates are "boosted" rates, not the "provisioned" rates.=0A=
So if they quote 50/10Mbps, I assume that's not what will need to be s= et in SQM with CeroWRT.

Does anyone have good info on the "pro= visioned" rates that go with each of the Comcast tiers?

Basica= lly, I'm trying to get to an apples-to-apples comparison with Sonic.net DSL= (I'll be close enough to the CO to run in Annex M "upload priority" mode a= nd get ~18/2 service).
