Comcast

[Addict]

This test is fairly accurate. It would be more accurate if there server wasn't located all the way in San Antonio, Texas.

[ebpda9]

i use netpersec from www.pcmag.com it's a small utility that tells you the download and upload speed at any given time. it's neat check it out !

Some people are fortunate enough not to have there cable capped at lower speeds. Or they are smart enough to "uncap" it.....

I used to think it was possible to do that stuff, but then when I learned more onhow it works..


I'm pretty sure from our side, we cant do much to boost speed.


But hey, I may be wrong..

I didn't post it for their test. That test is in Britain so it should be a horrible result for you. I posted it for the info.......

[Maxvla]

gotcha...

www.dslreports.com is what i use. looks like more info/tools than cable-modems.org

I'm on a cable connection.
Actually, the first time I ran it, it was much slower than that. Then I realized I had reinstalled some things on my system and ran my cable modem speed boost - that managed to speed up my times considerably.

[Accord Man]

cable modem speed boost


which software are you running?

gotta get myself one of those..
