hey thanks for the welcome! I noticed there are people in various areas that are already getting 7-9 going down and 900-1300 going up when they are supposed to be getting 768 and 6 down!!! i know comcast is capped at 6.6 or 6.8 but how are these people getting it?/ I believe they are in some small test market or in a market fios is in... I guess my point is comcast might not be as far behind as we think!! just behind in price!!!!!!! also late at night i have noticed when i run test on verion and some other spots my speed comes back at 7000 down and if i click fast enough for a retest it will shoot up to 10!!!!! i have even hit 12!!!! i think it's a glick or i get by the cap if i do it fast enough...but i don't know if the cap is physical or software.....but like i said it has to be late 2-3 in the morning check out below this was one of my uploads Register or Speed Interpretation Search for: search words or ZIP code Find Service Reviews Front Page FAQs+Info Forums Security Tests+Tools Buy Join Club For ISPs Search About us Spread Firefox! icon key 2005-04-11 21:59:39 EST: 6115 / 12400 Your download speed : 6262436 bps, or 6115 kbps.

not so sure.... i was just told that the upgrade comcast is doing is to compete against verizon. as you probably know comcast "caps" us apparently their line now can do up to 3 up and 15 down. they are just getting to all the line problems and issues in whatever areas. so thats what they say by "upgrading" really they are doing their own line check and software things before they "roll" out the "upgrades", however , there are places who do need line work as well (physically changing lines and so forth) I was told this was the first step in what comcast is really doing which is changing their internal infrastructure to some fiber like tech but will be able to go faster than what fiber is doing.. i was told the line would top out at like 500 down and up but would be split of course (shared and capped) and that won't be avail for couple of yrs but as they cont to "upgrade" to the "max" we will see our speeds and new service popping up so that verizon can't steal their cust.........don't know if their is any truth to it but we all know comcast advertised speeds and yet if you look on here some people get way over that and some people can't come close so it sounds like it could be true.........this is just what i was told i am not a tech so please don't flame me
