[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WOW !!! Another speed upgrade from Comcast !!!
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.
Did three back to back tests on the DC server.
15mb/sec. Verizon Fiberoptic here. I just dropped my cable modem cause it was too slow!
I posted this test of mine in the other thread.
The pr0n surely downloads fast. Being a network admin for my ISP has benefits.
Yeah, you win on upload, but I got your download right here.
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?
Hmmm......wonder why we cant get these high falooting speeds in Phoenix? I have cableamerica at 5200/768.
Still screamin on 21k dialup!!!
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?"
No I don't mind. Do it!
where are you going to get these tests?
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.
I switched from AOL to comcast. Talk about culture shock!!
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.
I got comcast at home, and verizon DSL here.
Cable on it's worst day ever is light years better than DSL, at least in my experience.
not too bad, as this is my slow line, gonna update later with the other line.
I think your beating the goat.
How much 'ya payin fer it tho ?
My pokey-slow 8000/768 service is $52.95/mo.
I beat him in poker tonight.
ETA - And Ed Sr in the final round.
I have comcast and I have never ever EVER downloaded something faster than 500k.
Bunch of lying bastards is what they are!
Go to DSL Reports.com and do a "tweak" test.
