To do that, Comcast would have to tie up about four cable channels, up from one channel now." When will they do it though? EDIT: There is also a similer story at: http://www.bizjournals.com/philadelphia/stories/2005/05/16/daily24.html "Comcast Corp. is working to give its Internet customers download speeds of 200 megabits per second, its chairman, president and CEO said Tuesday. "The day is coming when, in 45 seconds, you can download a movie (to a personal computer)," Brian Roberts said. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted May 19, 2005 CID Share Posted May 19, 2005 That would be so alsome to have 200MB connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rychen Posted May 20, 2005 CID Share Posted May 20, 2005 They cant even fix my 6mb dl and their going to try 200, LMAO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_cr4zy Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 i dont see why they cant pull it off and cheaply at that,funny thing is verizon offering a $199 vios plan that has 5mb upstream and people no doubt paying that kind of price for it hopefully if Comcast does go with a increase in bw that the upstream is upped significantly as well. then people wont have to go rent cheap $150 100Mbps servers to get stuff out quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted May 29, 2005 CID Share Posted May 29, 2005 Comcast Announces Speed Increase: 200mbps down/ 512k up wouldn't surprise me since cable co's answer to everything, give huge increases in dl and minimun in ul although it will be interesting to see if comcast keeps the speed upgrade from adelphia it would really twerp me off since I am an adelphia customer and i plan to upgrade to the 10/1 service when available Hoepfully comcast(there taking over my system, im in pa) will keep the speeds and not downgrad everyone back to 4/384 when they take over the systems of adelphia...

rikkkki Posted May 30, 2005 CID Share Posted May 30, 2005 Ya, I'm supposed to be getting 6 but this site shows an average of 4.9. Dsl Reports shows up to 5 on Linkline. MegaPath and Speakeasy show 5.8 to 6. BUT, for over a year Linkline has always been consistent with the speed that I was paying for until I bumped to 6. The "techs" keep telling me everything is running "well" If Linkline would show 6, then I would be a happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikkkki Posted May 30, 2005 CID Share Posted May 30, 2005 Thank you pitbull481. I've been doing some testing through Speakeasy from different parts of the country. boston shows 5.5 but Chicago,Dallas,LA,SF,And Michigan all show 6 to 6.115. Maybe I am getting what I'm paying for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikkkki Posted June 1, 2005 CID Share Posted June 1, 2005 Is there an advantage to manually putting in dns addresses maybe for faster speed? If so, where could one find a list of dns addresses, if there is such a list? I'm using dhcp now. : :confused1: :? :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted June 1, 2005 CID Share Posted June 1, 2005 your DHCP is your IP address. It just means your router/modem/thing has to go out and get a new IP once every day usually. your DNS Servers wouldn't change that. Oh and faster speeds, I wouldn't know, I've never had to change my DNS's. Maybe someone who experianced the comcast DNS problem could help yea.

rikkkki Posted June 1, 2005 CID Share Posted June 1, 2005 Well, I think for now, I'll just leave that part of my settings alone. It's probably more trouble than it's worth? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W Thomas Posted June 16, 2005 CID Share Posted June 16, 2005 I've never had to change my DNS's. Maybe someone who experianced the Comcast DNS problem could help yea. I changed mine to Level 3 DNS servers during that'crisis" but I didnt think to run a speed test to see if any chages were there. The lookup time boost these servers gave vs the Comcast servers at that time made a world of difference for sure. The 200 Mb download plan sounds ..almost too good to be true..hopefully I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikkkki Posted June 16, 2005 CID Share Posted June 16, 2005 Well, my system is running pretty good though Linkline still shows nothing more than 4.8. Maybe that system is an old one cause Speakeasy still shows right around 6. BUT 200? Oh ya, I could live with that. Right now I'd be happy with 25 :!: :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted June 28, 2005 CID Share Posted June 28, 2005 channging your dns server will only help your internet speeds minorly so dont bother unless your isp is having trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikkkki Posted June 29, 2005 CID Share Posted June 29, 2005 Hi Alex: I'd almost forgotten about this speed thing I was going thru since my Lsass.exe problem on June 11. That's where all my energies have been for several days now with Cholla and cak46 helping along the way. Haven't found a fix yet. The posts are on this site under Lsass.exe, last post last night-so far about eight pages worth :!: :!: We just can't seem to get to the root of it, but somewhere out there is a fix :!: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
