THANKS - I know I must have looked desperate posting all over the place . . . that's because I was. lol anyway, I'll get back when I get some Cablenut Tweaks done. I was pretty depressed when I came here and saw how bad my speeds where. But, you know, I'm glad I did. . . I probably would just be firing off in some comcast live-chat. . . wondering if I should switch to DSL. I feel alot better, now - THANKS

I can't believe I didn't think of this before.

I did the Cablenut tweaks, talked with Comcast - they said everythings OK at their end. and I thought everything was OK, till I came HERE! now I'm freaking-out!!! I know I won't be able to sleep, till I can figure this one out. PLEASE HELP! - THANKS . . . sleepless in slowland

I got on with Live Chat (Comcast) today - after I did the speed test here (I don't know whether love you guys or hate you - I thought everthing was OK, till I came here) and the guy - steve - after I told him about my speed - told me I was being sarcastic and ended our live chat session, can you imagin that! All I did was ask if they ever read their own forums - alot of people complaining about bad speed times. anyway, mine are the worst!! I posted in Comcast Forum here . . . if anyone has any ideas, let me know? - depressed, and no-ware to go!

I did the trace again . . . still?
