This test is somewhat skewed for Comast customers bc they have SpeedBoost which bumps your speed up to 12MB for the first 2mb's of the file you're downloading.

Also how do you ninjas live w/300 and below speeds? Do you limit yourself on how many things you download @ once? Are you aware that you can probably be 4x faster by shopping around? I'd kill myself :smh:



Downloads max out around 800kb/s, highest I've seen was 1200kb/s.
$99 - comcast triple play (phone,cable,internet)

TruSpeed. I'm getting ready to drop my Verizon FIOS in favor of Comcast TruSpeed. I'll see how fast it is without the ext. firewall and routers. I've got a test line from my girl's pop. Seems to be more consistent than any connection I've ever had. Sent out 150,000 packets last night received 100% with only 7 packets lost. DOCSIS 3.0 could give FIOS a run for their money.

What's TruSpeed?

I'm not even sure of the tech, but it is channel-bonded down and upstreams for more consistent speeds. Supposedly, it's supposed to make the connection more stable despite how much traffic is on one particular node. No slowdown, no lag, no timeouts due. I haven't really tested it hard. They gave it to my girl's father to beta test, but he doesn't use the internet nearly as much as I do.

Be serious - Windows 7 has about 0.0001% of an impact on your wire speed

Come on. Break me off like a 5 year old. Why do you say the network components in an operating system has a less than 1 percent impact on download speeds?

This is gotta hear. :cool:

Mine is FIOs. They offer two packages: 10MB Down/2 Up or 20MB down/ 4 Up. I have the latter. Works great! Definitely and improvement from DSL (1.5MBs down :smh:).

i have charter cable in nc. it's probably the best internet connection i have. i pay 39 bucks for 10 meg speed and it keeps it at 10 megs stable all day. i see faster download speeds then i do on my 18meg connect in cleveland.
