A motorolla surfboard

I know I spelled the name wrong but whatever.

Welcome to The Forum Dan1025

how long ago did you upgrade? it takes about a day for see speeds difference.

Thank you for the welcome.

I had them add it on today at around 6 or 7 PM EST.  They said that all i'd need is a power cycle on the modem and that on their end it was showing me getting 6000/768.  When I spoke to the second tech on the phone and he sent me to broadbandreports.com he said that those speeds were not even close to what I should be getting.  When I tested it the first time on this site using the speed indicated on the first post of yours I got what I stated.  Now every time I run it I quickly get to about 80% then it stops moving for about 20 seconds, goes to 90% stops for 20 seconds then goes to 100%  Then it reports my speed at 1meg. 

Now when I use the slower speeds it says that I am getting 5.4 megs.  (This is on the 1024 I think it was test)

When I download from a site using direct connection, though, I get around the same speeds as I got before.  350-400kb/s.  That is nowhere near the 600-700kb/s it says I SHOULD be getting.

So yeah i'm not sure why it is going to take a day for it to give me my speeds but i'll take your word on it and try testing it again tommorrow.

Is comcast having speed issues today?  I just upgraded to the 6 meg package and get this speed:

That is exactly the same as before the upgrade.  I rebooted the modem and rebooted my pc.  Any other things that could be a problem?
