FGOKURULES Posted December 25, 2005 CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 HI, I'm a Data tech at Comcast, and hear we are upgrading the speeds now to 10mb/1024mb come the end of january, basic service will be the 6mb service if you only have internet, and 8mb if you have cable and internet, if you already pay 10 dollars extra for the 8mb speed you will be increased to the 10mb speed, The 10mb speed WILL ONLY be offered if you subscribe to Digital Cable and Internet, and already pay the 10 dollars extra for the 8mb speed tier.

resopalrabotnick Posted December 25, 2005 CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 10 millibit download? that is horribly slow. and a 1024 millibit upload is slow as well. but faster than the upload by a factor of 102.4. weird policy. slower than dialup with a weird speed balance. for how much? or did you mean Mb for Megabit? in that case the 1024 Mb upload is gonna make many people happy. how do i subscribe to the 1 Gigabit upload? sincerely, signed, Wiseass. (in the metric system the small m stands for milli which is 1/1000th and the M is for Mega which stands for a factor of 1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 25, 2005 CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 3rd time i've seen this post. i wonder what your employer would say about you spamming information about future plans on message boards. Merry Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted December 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 nothing too much they really don't care why should you? just giving useful information to those who plan to upgrade their speeds.. why upgrade if they are going to give their customers additional bandwidth?

i2d | ScruFFy | Posted December 25, 2005 CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 What about the caps on usage ., will they also increase as well? Do you knoiw any caps that are on the 8/768 package? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FGOKURULES Posted December 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 there are generally no caps on bandwidth, Comcast's gateway only allows so much data travel per continuous stream from each user on the network,, so constant large amounts of data flow ie. hosting a website would be a violation of your customer agreement, automatically Comcast's D.H.C.P. server blocks your modem and flag your account...

i2d | ScruFFy | Posted December 25, 2005 CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 Ya i have gotten flagged like 5 times already. Even back on the 256 up package they flagged me , but i stopped hosting now so it is all good. Do you know if the business package 8/1 will be upgrading as well and if there are any caps on it ?

FGOKURULES Posted December 25, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 25, 2005 Comcast DOES NOT ALLOW any web hosting through user end pc's.. you can have them host a website for you and you update it through ftp.. but the cable network is not optimized for that kind of traffic.. And may never be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGOKURULES Posted December 26, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 26, 2005 DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO PUSH THE SPEED A LITTLE FURTHER ON A COMCAST CABLE MODEM?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 26, 2005 CID Share Posted December 26, 2005 besides the yelling, you're spamming again. let me explain it to you: if you are not sure where to post a question, comment, blurb, rant, flame or revelation stick it in a new topic in general discussion. most everyone will see it there and the moderators will (re)move it as needed. the caps lock key is usually located somewhere between the left tab and shift key. pressing it should make a little light on your keyboard turn off. if not, then tapping the shift key should do it.

FGOKURULES Posted December 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 So are you an ass-hole part-time or you trying to go full time and make a career out of it? I just wanted to know, i'll be a good refrence on your resume, Jackass.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 full-time. i'm sorry if i interrupted your feeble attempt to get people to admit to uncapping modems. (maybe you shouldn't have claimed to be affiliated with them before?) and speaking of resumes, you should either sign it handwritten or like so: signed, jackass the way you did it could be misunderstood as a personal attack, which is one of the things frowned upon here, along with spamming multiple threads with the same post. and yelling. hm. calling me an asshole, spamming and yelling. three strikes. you're out!

Blunted 2 Posted December 27, 2005 CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 this is even harder to get than regular dsl cause you have to be very close to the central office and i would get it but my area says i have to be at 1000 feet or under to get it but if i was close enough i would get 3 mb upload and 25 mb download. also it might be different in some area's but i am pretty sure it can go past 30 mb download.

FGOKURULES Posted December 27, 2005 Author CID Share Posted December 27, 2005 how could you utilize that much bandwidth, even if your speed is that fast most websites won't let you download nowhere near those speeds. You can only download as fast as someone can upload to you.. but Maybe the large bandwidth could go good with file sharing programs, maybe you can get more multiple sources at once and utilize your bandwidth... other than that i believe a 2Mb/768k line would suffice...
