Hollywoodx954x Posted September 16, 2005 CID Share Posted September 16, 2005 Anyone heard of this line coming out in the next couple of weeks to a month? I heard that this is available for bussiness and will be deployed for residential in the next couple of weeks? Has anyone else found this to be true?

netmasta Posted September 16, 2005 CID Share Posted September 16, 2005 I doubt it's true. Comcast has already done two upgrades this year. Where did you hear about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted September 16, 2005 CID Share Posted September 16, 2005 I still dont understand why they are making the download's so extreme and keeping the upload a joke. They should have mirror packages of their current. Like if its 10 / 1 they should have 1 / 10 avaliable lol. Thats what id go for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted September 16, 2005 CID Share Posted September 16, 2005 .S1 what a wonderfull world this would be if we could give more and take less but no we are greedy specially the people who make this decisions they always want to get more and give less and i have not heard of any comcast also to 10/1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted September 16, 2005 CID Share Posted September 16, 2005 i would LOVE a 1/10 connection, but i would prefer a 2 or a 4/10 lol. oh i got an idea: Lets reverse engineer the docsis technology so instead of the limit on cable being 38/10 is 10/38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6arett Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 Becuase Upload costs Comcrap! With a 1/10 connection you'd only beable to download at roughly 130kb/s. witch is not very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite.Pete Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 im greedy... i want like a lightspeed connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 your connection already is pretty close to lightspeed. you want a connection with more bandwidth, not faster transmisson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywoodx954x Posted September 17, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 I heard this from some guy that he called a couple of days ago and comcast said to him that they will be upgrading in his area (didn't tell me where he lives) to a 10/1 connection.

resopalrabotnick Posted September 17, 2005 CID Share Posted September 17, 2005 what do you mean, old friend of a friend story. just because his friends don't have any reliable friends doesn't mean noone's friends are reliable. did you hear that from a friend of one of your buddies? i for one choose only quality aquaintances that prove to me with a quick background check that all their so-called friends are reasonably accurate in their statements. if in doubt, i simply subpoena the friends friends friend to get the lowdon on the story. if he confirms it i can be reasonably sure that truth is served. just because you have unreliable friends doesn't mean you should go around calling everyone sloppy in the choice of their buddies.

Who cares about download speed? If you need a large file, let your comp run overnight.. With upload you can send folks files much faster, host game servers , have video meetings, etc . Downloading at speeds in excess of 1mb/s is just rediculous when your upload is only 97 kbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audidiablo Posted September 19, 2005 CID Share Posted September 19, 2005 I'd care more about download. What if the file you are downloading is like 4GB? On a 1mbit line it would take forever. It seems like for most intetnet companies can acheive download speeds almost effortlessly. Upload is the issue. If anything, why not compromise such as a 6/6 line or even a 4/4 I'd rather keep at least my download speed there then be able to upload as well. Not many people out there have 10mbit down connections so I'd find it rather pointless. One way or another the times will catch us and I'm sure we'll be able to see some sort of 10/10 line or even Van Burrens 100/100. Yes it may be years but by that time there will be no need to complain audidiablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted September 19, 2005 CID Share Posted September 19, 2005 likeme and others have stated before, traffic costs the ispmoney. that is why the slow uploads. isps have decided to keep the upload slower to force people that want to host stuff, implying they are making money wih it themselves, to use a business class connection which means that they either pay a igher monthly fee and/or get charged for traffic volume generated.

audidiablo Posted September 19, 2005 CID Share Posted September 19, 2005 That is a good point but the way I see it is that ISP's are pissed off at people who share their music, games, and movies. By limiting them with their speed they have been able to influence people to share less and saves them on bandwith. Reguardless, we get the shaft in the end.

Comcast buisness class isn't any better for uploading. BTW, this is for zip code 02368, so speeds may vary by area.

But then their are people like me who just run their computer for weeks on end and leave their connection open to hundreds of GB of upload.

nvouscustoms Posted September 20, 2005 CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 I live out in the bay area, California. Last week I was having trouble with my modem recieving the proper config file. Well while on the phone with a tech, He said the speed upgrade for northern cali or at least where I am is set between sept 20 (today) till the end of the month. He also mentioned that he was reading a Memo he had there that they would be rolling out 12Mb/1Mb next year. I don't know if he's just b/s or if they will, but that would be cool.

drone540 Posted September 24, 2005 CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 I'd prefer comcast giving me those 2 Mbit added to my upstream. --On a off note where do you guys get those cool little signature pictures from ?-- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted September 24, 2005 CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 the beast ones? www.danasoft.com the User ones... not to sure, do a forum search on User Sigs, there should be a link to the site where you can get them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywoodx954x Posted September 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 comcast is for sure going with 10/1 because look at all the fiber and competition with other cable providers that are now like 15/2 and 10/2 or whatever. (adelphia, COX) they are now going way beyond what comcast is providing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
