Just checked my speeds after hearing about another upgrade... Some folks complain about Comcast... Personally, I haven't had any trouble at all with them, and keep getting faster and faster speeds.
I was on the "gold tier" at 6000/768 and was just upgraded to 8000/768.  Previous 4000/384 subscribers are now bumped up to 6000/384 speeds. Here's my latest speed tests... Just tested it a min ago... Did three back to back tests on the DC server. Last Result: Download Speed: 8208 kbps (1026 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 697 kbps (87.1 KB/sec transfer rate) Last Result: Download Speed: 8222 kbps (1027.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 694 kbps (86.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Last Result: Download Speed: 8221 kbps (1027.6 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 695 kbps (86.9 KB/sec transfer rate) |

I posted this test of mine in the other thread.
 Oh Yeah! The pr0n surely downloads fast. Being a network admin for my ISP has benefits. |

Dont make me run back to the office and test the new 64 megabit DS3 circuit Verizon installed for us last week
but yeah, you win. Since I have the best upload though, does that mean I have to seed all of the torrrents from now on?

I'd rather they keep the extra speed, keep mine at exactly what it is and cut the price.

I kind of got that call from SBC Yahoo! DSL. "Do you mind if we double your upload/download speeds and reduce your monthly rate by $4?" Uhh, let me think about that... ... ... No I don't mind. Do it! Jim |

Lucky. I heard that they aren't goign to be expaning the fiber optic service beyond the test markets. I REALLY hope that isn't true. Fiber puts cable and DSL to shame. |

Be careful - they give you the high speeds but they won't let you use them all the time. A few years ago Comcast started putting download caps on their cable accounts, canceling accounts when the customer hit some double-secret number of bytes. The bandwidth limit seems to be somewhere around 50GB/month, but I know people who have been canceled at 15GB/mo. Link Link Link Link Link |

Cable on it's worst day ever is light years better than DSL, at least in my experience. |

Go to DSL Reports.com and do a "tweak" test. Methinks your 'puter may have issues if you can't get decent speeds. (Unless you are in a real busy/oversold area) |
