I did, they're coming this morning. In between the next 2 - 6 hours. I noticed that the activity light on the modem just freezes during DLs, which never happened before so i called them and yelled, and threatened to leave and tell everyone I know that has their service about this and how badly I'm being treated after being with them for 4 years now.

The router isn't plugged in.

I bought some new cables and then did a new quality test today. here are my results. I already notice quite a difference on how fast it takes a new page to load. http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1663263

Well i can physically see a difference with the cable that's showing a smaller amount of packet loss. The pages look like they're moving faster.

but it would seem to me that would effect both DL and UL speeds, and yet for some reason Only my DL speed is being effectted, or am I just wrong and it could just effect one thing.

nope they took that with them

There was definately a noticiible difference. I tried tiwht the two different cables and got the following results. http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1662214 and then http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1662232 but could just a faulty lan cable be the result of such a slow connectiion?

I just changed the lan cable that was given to me by comcast for the lan cable I had on the router. I disconnected the router and am just using the cable modem again. still seems crapy. going to try and run another test

Here are the results of the test I took without the router http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1662150 Here is the test with my routers http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1662179

When I talked to the Comcast tech today, he said that it was more than likely a trojan or other type of spyware in my computer,. Thing is i've got everything upto date and have run every scan i know of and i show nothing like that. He then suggested I reformat my computer, which i really don't want to do if I can avoid it.

that was with my routerr. without the router, for some reason it's not pingable
