True, but it speeds up regular downloading by a ton

When I'm using Download accelerator Plus I get an average of 1008 kB/s so thats all fine.

I like my comcast. It's fast enough for me.

I dunno I just thought it was awesome, I mean, its the la biblioteca hombre!! (library)

well i suppose it helps that they have a Dell XPS... *drool*

Just as a random note... I use comcast and when I was installing the internet using their CD, it was really really slow right afterwards. You can solve that easy by:

1.) Remove the comcast setup CD and shut down you're computer

2.) Shut down you're modem, router (if you have one), and any other external devices (VoIP, etc)

3.) Reboot you're modem first, then router, then any other exterial devices

4.) Enjoy surfing, ever since I've done that I've had little Comcast problems, other than router issues, explained below.

If you're one of those comcast junkies like me and have been using comcast for a while, you probably have an old modem like I did. This is terrible if you ever get a router, wireless or wired. When I got my router, it was totally incompatible with my modem and reduced my speeds to 2% of what they should've been. Usually it would be around 80% with the old router. I struggled with this for a while and finally I figured it out. the solution was to get a new modem. So I:

1.)Went to the comcast center (I'm not sure where it was, call them for the one nearest to you, phone # on you're bill)

2.)Got a new modem.

3.)Shut down my network.

4.)Replaced my modem

5.)Reboot modem, router, etc, etc.

6.)Very happy surfing.

Though my speeds aren't godly like the guru's here, I'm pretty happy just look below, I'm even on wireless.

I'm no expert on satellite but maybe you're reception is wavering? Or is that just me going off those comcast ads...

Yeah you're right but it get's me posts lol :)

my friend just showed this to me.. ITS HILARIOUS!!

(>'o')> KIRBY!!!!!

whats kirby? i really don't know and my friend wouldn't tell me cuz, he thought everyone should know it lol

check it out... this is a public library computer and I just suddenly had the idea to check out the speed... I think they overclock their computers though... any thoughts on that? show off you're library here!!!

what he said... for most broswers.. just go to "tools" then "internet options" and it'll have options, clear cache should be in it... if ur using the new internet explorer 7 beta its under browsing history and "delete"

haha its all good but sometimes comcast does go insanely off the charts... por ejamplo... I'd love my speed if it lasted for more than .1 seconds.... TIME TO DOWNLOAD OBLVION!!! or not...

yeah sorry, I meant the 4000/384

Is the Netgear WGU624 a good router?

I haven't used any tweaks, but I downloaded cablenut after reading the fourm, and I'm not sure which one i should use.

my advertised speeds are 4000/368

btw: does anyone know a really router I can get that won't decrease my speed by upwards of 50%?

Thanks

Well, lol here are the dl stats after I removed the router.
