Aww had a feeling something wasn't right, damn I wish i had 900+kB/s upload Heres my new test, upload still is pretty good and better then its been. I have used the internet optimizer from System mechanic 7 as well as one of the custom MTU 1500 10000 from VanBuran's Cablenut settings. which was used before aswell.

I dont know if its just the power boost from comcast or not but it makes me happy inside

Is there a map or something of where they have it/when they will have it in certain areas...that you know of?

Guess I should keep track of this stuff

But, I think I would like verizon FIOS better, at least from what I remember reading about it months and months ago

only I dont think they have it in my area yet

Ok, so i havent even been here in forever and i saw an email from this place in my inbox so i decided to test. Back, who knows when, I got the 8Mbps connection which was the upgrade from 6Mbps..and now

Maybe I too have the Powerboost but am not aware?

guess that depends on how high the traffic is through the ISP, assuming it works the same as with cable and dsl (higher ammounts of traffic= slower speeds)

Etiolate, what are the specs of your computer?

I know when I had Comcast internet on my Dell dimension 2300, (Intel celery 1.8 Ghz, 64mb on board video, 512 MB ram, 40GB HD), my speeds were very very slow (maybe 500 Kb/s range), upgraded to my custom AMD system (AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 1GB ram, 160 GB HD, 40GB HD, ATI radeon 9550) $600 later, my speeds jumped to over 1Mb/s avg. from any decent server with the same connection. And yes that was in Firefox

With most of today's basic computers even, I don't see why the CPU would be getting used up that much unless there are some adware/spyware type problems involved.

isn't FIOS way better than a good cable connection? Why are you concerned with tweaking it to be even better? :-/

Wish we had FIOS here....instead w are stuck with Comcast cable, or DSL......and I miss Comcast

Also, try the test in IE as well

Actually I am getting the error right now no matter how many times I try

Well I think any upgrade could only mean good things...at least once all the bugs are worked out from the initial upgrading

That is the same exact modem I had. The tech guy did some speed tests and said it was ridiculous that I was getting the speeds I was getting so he gave me a new modem...only it didn't get much better until he played around with the outside connections. so far this modem i have now the Terayon TJ 715x seems to be working alright

YES!!!! I just got done with a comcast tech that swapped out my modem, motorola surfboard, with a teryon, plus fixed connections outside and said he made the outlet with my cable on it seperate from the other stuff now my download is back to beign great :haha:

fileplanet is awsome for downloads for me too. Haven't tried it recently but more than a few times I have averaged 15Mbps all the way up to 30+ Mbps which totaly blew me away and that was before and after I got the upgrade to 6 Mbps download

True, but the thing is, I have done tweaks with cablenut and a couple other programs as well and the only thing that seems to have gotten better recently is my upload. Like i said, its been going on for 3 weeks or more. Same thing happend to a friend of mine on the other side of town too as well as other people in my area from what I have seen on a few different forums. I think tomorrow or the next day I am going to call comcast and see what they say about it

Well lately, past 3 weeks or more, I have had a serious decrease in download speed. I have the upgraded package 6Mbps up 768Kb up. My upload has gotten a lot better, around 86 KB/s...but download is horrible at about 116 KB/s when around 3 to 4 weeks ago was at least 550 to 700 KB/s. I read a post on another forum earlier today http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,13580077 talking about how comcast made a CRAN upgrade last month and a guy from that post had to get another modem from comcast that helped boost it back up some. Maybe you got a better end of the stick haha

Have you tried to contact Comcast and ask them what could be wrong with your download? I haven't but I really think I should since the same thing has been happening to me for over a few weeks. Then again my house does have a lot of things connected to cable service. 6 rooms with cable 3 of which have digital cable, and my internet which has a splitter (split for digital cable and for internet) but my download was still pretty decent until recently. But it was over 5Mbps until recently. Now I am lucky if I reach half of the 6Mbps

ok...something happend recently, not sure what it is either. My upload is actually decent lately:

running at 45.11% of comcasts average when I used to be way higher, in the 90% or so. This happend yesterday some time. Can anyone help me to fiure out wtf is wrong with my net?

my download speed has been really odd lately too. Has been for around 2 weeks probably. A friend of mine was experiancing the same problem too. And he is on the other side of the city. I did notice the comcast site said something about an outage and I saw people from the other side of the US having the same problems with the same outage notice for their area. Seems like since then my download has been crap

yeah your upload is awsome...looks like your download may have seen better days though. heh

i have gone to that.

Not too bad considering, so it seems to me and a friend of mine, that comcast has been acting weird lately. BTW I currently have the $55 a month plan I think it is, up to 6Mbps down and up to 768Kbps. I did use cablenut though. The ccs file came from http://www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php that I found in another link on this site. Has anyone else experianced issues with comcast lately, or is it maybe just up in the spokane, wa area or just 2 people on different sides of the city having similar problems? Also, when I upgraded from the "up to 4Mbps" connection, a tech guy refered me to www.2wire.com to check connection speed, which worked fine at the time. But last week it rated me at barely over 56K connection speed, and earlier tonight at 507Kbps connection which brought up my question above.

Hey, i'm not sure what my speeds were exactly before, but I downloadeda program from ashampoo called Ashampoo Internet Accelerator. Can find a download attached. After I installed that I went to Automatic and optimized adapter for network connection and noticed a really nice increas in performance

Heres my test from spokane, wa
