Has the FF speed changed, recently?
I have noticed that a single press of the FF key, seems to take much longer to go through a (presumed) two minute block of commercials. Has anyone else noticed this? The 2 press FF seems also to not be as fast as before.

I just checked (I was watching a paused program). My FF is 45 secs.
I believe some commercial blocks are closer to 3 mins.

Were you referring to the FF button or the FWD button on the remote?

Dhascall was referring to fast forward (single press), but skeeter was referring to something else entirely.
I am used to Tivo, and so I find FF (first stage) to be too fast. With Tivo I could navigate to almost the exact frame I wanted, and could still use the higher speeds for when I wanted to move more quickly. UVerse has no 'stop on a dime' speed.

Skeeter, were you saying that it takes 45 seconds to FF through (at the slowest speed) a block of commercials? If that is the case, then you were right on. I was not referring to the 30 second commercial skip. If that was the case, that isn't what I was asking.
I was asking if the FF speeds (>> >>> >>>>) have changed.
Chuckles_2: I actually do not miss having a stop on a dime FF. I LOVE the rollback feature.
