Still having the issue where the upload portion of the test won't initialize... guess I'll find another way to log my upload problem.

This issue has come back up... :\ I've logged out and back in three times now. Tests just fail to begin. Can't exactly log that Comcast is screwing me on upload at random times for hours on end if I can't find a test that works and isn't paid for by Comcast (speedtest.net). Hmm... switching from the DC (USEast) server to the TX (Central) server allowed a test to initialize and complete... almost instantly. However, trying to continue my usual "auto testing" is failing... Guess I need to manually test my upload every 30 minutes? ---______---

For whatever reason, I found that logging out of the website fixed the issue. It has not happened again since then.

For whatever reason, anytime I try to run an upload test normally, no matter what size I choose, and no matter which server I choose, the test never progresses (see attached screenshot). If I switch to multi-threaded tests, it works, but I'm wanting to try single thread because I'm trying to pinpoint my upload dropouts through Comcast. When I first started using this site a week ago, I did normal tests; it would only occasionally need to be forced to retest the upload. I got sick of it hanging up and needing to be forced to retest, so I tried multi-threaded. Ever since trying multi-threaded, I've been unable to successfully upload at all using the normal method. When I was doing the multi-threaded tests, I was getting more consistent upload results, so that led me to believe that the normal tests would be a better way of pinpointing my upload dropouts. Understand my train of thought now? What's the deal? Why can't I do a normal upload test anymore? Why did the tests start hanging in the first place? Has Comcast somehow put a block on my use of this site so I can't find out when my upload dropouts are occurring?

After 14 months of a perfect 25 down, 5 up residential package with Comcast, since this past June, my upload has been showing similar results to what y'all are speaking of, and Comcast is giving me the same bullshit runaround. Even after corporate increased my package to the "blast" 80 down, 10 up, I'm still seeing inconsistencies pop up for a number of hours and then disappear and be completely fine for a while. It's making it impossible for me to stream to Twitch on a schedule. I'm not nearly as learned as you two are, testing using those various programs and such, but I know there's an issue and Comcast is apparently clueless. Is there any chance anyone here'd be willing to help me figure out how I can prove to Comcast there is a problem with my upload still? Download is completely fine. I mean, even SpeedTest is showing me inconsistent upload speeds, but Comcast won't bite. All I want is a constant 5Mbps upload connection... I don't see why, for $70 a month, that's so difficult in this day and age. I've only recently found this site, so I only have about 24 hours worth of testing to show, but it still shows huge variations in upload for chunks of time. Also, before finding this site, I was testing to Twitch servers around the US when I'd start dropping frames due to the poor upload, and I was able to see speeds varying from failing to connect to 100Kbps to 3.2Mbps. See attached screenshots. Thanks for any feedback...
