This morning my connection is a lot better than it was at night. But as you can see.. only 0.7 Mbps. At least I can browse a webpage... even load google results now... Last night.. my connection was too slow for google.

You guys are pretty lucky compared to what I'm suffering here in Atlanta. This has been happening for 2 hours yesterday... and all night long today. My TV was on most of the time, then started to drop out also slowly. I'm not sure what they are doing but I better call them up. I've been having problems like my modem timing out for a while now.... but this is insane now.... I can barely load a webpage.... I'd take my 8Mbit connection that sometimes drops out... rather than something slower then 56kbit, that can't stay connected to anything.

I'm still waiting for it. Not sure when it's gonna come... But I hope something comes soon.

I'd prefer comcast giving me those 2 Mbit added to my upstream. --On a off note where do you guys get those cool little signature pictures from ?--

Thanks, I had noticed that a few days ago, but didn't follow up on it... I wonder if I actually had that speed for that entire day. I was thinking it was a glitch when I saw it... but managed to screenshot it anyway... because the downloaded MB really looked to be going at 1.34 MB/sec which amazed me enough to snap it really quickly. And it was fully stable. Makes me wonder, that they are really ready to compete with Verizon's FIOS when it comes out..... At least for downstreams.... upstreams aren't looking as great. I was hoping a rumor I heard about comcast going to 14/4 in september to compete with Verizon.... Guess we will have to wait till verizon moves into comcasts headquarters area and they notice a drop in customers, and are forced to compete with Verizon. (Don't cha just love competion to make companies stay in business. )

Yeah that really is sad compared to mine.... I think I've had my speed for this entire week probably.. but just got around to running speed test.. because Comcast just kept flashing me for 30 minutes a few min ago :::..

So basically I'm 8956/760 I noticed this at first when my upload wasn't 89-90kB/sec... but was actually 92kB/sec when sending files over aim.... the other person asked... did i get faster. I was like.. I dunno maybe. LOL. Guess I really did get more stable.. I used to have like 740kb upstream true stream. I wish they'd go ahead and double or quadruple the upstream. I'd be soo happy than... send files in no time.. just like it takes no time to download files (depending on the server) At one point.. I even seen downloads at 1.3 MB/sec
