Comcast users, reboot your modems

[mrjarrell]

Haven't rebooted yet, but my speed got a boost when they fixed the outside wires some months ago.

After reboot there was no significant difference. Oh, well.

24/4 for me here. A little higher than it was as we used to get 16/3(ish).

 

[U.S. Patriot]

No difference for me.

[Chevyman540]

Here's mine, no reboot yet.

I'm on the stupid "triple play" I have no idea what Internet package I'm on.

Run the speedtest.net check. I always found comcast's incorrect.

 

[kwatters]

Speeds have increased!

I had the 50/15 connection at our new house and now have 105/20

Wow, I thought mine went up. I was getting 25 down, now 55 (using Blast)



pretty much the same:

Run the speedtest.net check. I always found comcast's incorrect.

I can't get a longer download test on speedtest, when I try using it the download is done in a second or two.

I have verified my connection is "close" to provisioned speed via real world testing. I downloaded a CentOS 5.9 ISO last night at 11MBps which is around 90Mbps and can send files at 2.5MBps to remote servers which is 20Mbps.

I reset my modem and did get an increase:

Before I was probably dowloading in the low 30's and uploading around 4 or 5... Very nice. I wonder if I am limited to faster speeds by the modem model that I have?

Edit:
I ran the same test in Firefox and got these results:

What I'm saying is, their speedboost gives false speed tests. The connection drops quite a bit after something has been DLing for a while.

I'll take my 100% fiber connection 10 outta 10 times

No change here in Fishers, IN.

Signed up for 12/2 Business Class in 12/11, and Speedtest.net would give me blazing fast tests, typically 70-90/20/40.

Then a couple of months ago or so, my speedtest.net began giving me a rock steady 21/4 result, with ping times varying from 10-25ms..

 

[hoosierdoc]

Mine is 25mbps, rebooted modem, still 25. Comcast in Greenwood.

 

[tv1217]

No change in St John (NWI)

 

[Smokle]
