Perhaps a network diagnostic test may provide some clues:

it isn't even letting me do that.

on every server there is:

TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.3.4e

I run Japanese IME so that can't be the case.

I ran Spybot, Spyware Doctor, and Ad-Awareand everything is clean. I also ran Norton and AVG... nothing there.

so I don't think it can be the computer, and I think the file being used is a result of Japanese IME.

wow. this is annoying.

Are you using a router?  Do you have a firewall running?  Post a screenshot of your running processes from the task manager, something must be hogging up all your upload bandwidth (unless you've been capped by your ISP?)

Also, make sure that you are free of any and all malware.  Try this online scan (XP/2000): http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan

yes. I am using a router, but even when I plug one of my computers directly into the cable modem -- it is the exact same. it's just so weird how my download speed is great but my upload speed is basically nothing.

I didn't know that comcast would cap. why would they cap me? I am not a big uploader or anything at all. I don't play any sort of online games or upload any very big files.

have fun

see... nothing weird running:

you wouldn't happen to be uploading anything while running the test would you?

I'm not even sure it's possible to get a download speed that fast with that slow of an upload...

I'm positive. I have run every spyware test and virus scanner known and on task manager, there is not one suspicious thing running. there is really nothing else running besides Internet Explorer.

I've tested the upload speed on other things too, such as an FTP server that I used to get uload speeds around 70kbps... but now it just goes at speeds under 1kbps before timing out.

I even installed a new 3-way splitter but it's just the same results.

you already have threads asking how to no need to post several times youve already won the award for the worst upload 

I just have one other thread, but yeah. this is just really making me angry at Comcast. I don't understand how someone can have NO upload speed. this is ridiculous.

now my upload speed is virtually NOTHING.

my download speed is fine, but I have no upload. this is horrible...

I am calling Comcast tomorrow, even though I doubt they'll help.

I'm also going to buy a new splitter. ridiculous.

this happens on and off. right now, the speed is fine. I just waited it out overnight.

I am going to move my two guitar amps away the router and cable modem though. it was basically on top of it.

and no. I have never tweaked anything or cablenut adjusted.

I really have no clue what is wrong here. I have the Motorola SB5120 SURFboard Cable Modem. I did all the basic stuff, like restarting my modem and scanning for viruses and whatnot. I tried it on the other computer with the same luck. this is just unbelievable. the speed is just unbearable. oh, and the upload speed is virtually zero. and yes, everything is plugged in securely. I live in Union, NJ.
