I'm only paying for the 5 meg package so I think I'm good.

Your right, I thought about that too, must have been just after you replied, since you didn't get my edit. - RR

Wow...and I just got done making my boss feel good for NOT increasing our speed...of course we have about 4 people accessing a huge Quickbooks file via our network at the moment, slowing out LAN speeds way down.



That is from our Firewall server.

Holy crap!



From home, regular Comcast cable. Uplink sucks ass though.

From work. T3's are fun.

Comcast... still advertising what they can't deliver.

X2 (home - Comcast):

What speeds does Comcast advertise in your area? Anyone have FiOS?

Don't recall if it's 5 or 7 meg, but I aint gettin' anything near that most of the time.

Mine and Hattrick's are FiOS in DFW. Mines' the 15Mb package, Dan's got the 5Mb package.

Sitting in the woods at the LBJ Grasslands (northwest of Decatur Texas), one bar on the PCS Modem. It thought I should use the Atlanta Server, but the Dallas server was just a little faster.

Our firewall where I work buffers incoming downloads to run them through virus checking on the fly. Our downloads at work crawl along to the 10 - 15% mark and then are suddenly completed as the remainder of the buffered file is delivered to the client. Might be similar with your setup.

Verizon FIOS here in Pittsburgh PA. Jorge, I cannot believe your getting those speeds from Comcast Cable. The best we get here from them is about 6000 down and 512 up.

Comcast from Highlands Ranch.

Comcast 8meg service from Colorado Springs


The problem with this test is that it's so quick, Comcast's PowerBoost is still helping and as such it gives an inaccurate download speed.
