Thanks for this information - first I heard of this. :) I also wish Comcast would increase the Upload speed. As it is, I never use half of my 4Meg download speed... :roll:

From the Comcast forums:

Comcast has put thought into increasing the upload speeds and we do know that most customers would like to see an increase in the upload speeds. However, upload speed is not as easy to increase as the download speeds. Many Comcast markets are undergoing equipment upgrades so that they will soon be able to provide more upstream speed but for this current round of speed upgrades, Comcast simply cannot provide more upload.

I don't know if anyone else see's this the way I do , but people on the 6/768 pkg. are really getting screwed.

If you think about it, people on the 4/384 pkg. are getting a 50% increase in there download and people on the 6/768 pkg. are only getting a 33% increase on download.

So we at 6/768 should have gone to 9/768 or 8Mbps/1Mbps

I'm sure someone will prove me wrong but oh well....Subscribers Revolt....LOL.

I posted this on Comcast forum also.

OK so I'm bored........ ;)

How do you figure that? Both tiers are increased by the same amount, 2Mb.

hey in the explanations on how high some models can go you forgot to tell how high the motorola sb5100 model can go.

I believe that was just a list of modems that won't make the grade when the updates takes place.

I think the SB5100/5120 can handle something like 35 to 40Mbps downstream.
