Comcast internet getting slower and slower...

[grandkodiak]

My comcast cable internet seems to be crawling slower and slower as time goes on, can someone do me a favor? if you have comcast cable can you check your connection speed to the new york server at this speed test site and see what you get?

I'm getting 3500 download and 800 upload average in the afternoons. just curious to see just how bad my town is compared to the rest of jersey! i cant wait for fios to come :(

[DevilDougWS6]

are you supposed to measure to a location closest to you?

from ny im getting
8339/2751

from la im getting
2303/2753

with 4 computers and an xbox sharing the same.

comcast sucks

[BonzoHansen]

My speeds with optimum fell below dsl rates. bastards throttle my service back. I used to torrent live music a lot and they did not like it. Nor could they define what I did wrong. Nor any metrics for me to measure & watch. Screw them.

Check out broadbandreports.com

[grandkodiak]

did they throttle it back all the time or jsut when you were using p2p?

No, no pr0n at work. Although yes, technically I could download a 10GB file about that quickly :)

15860/5635 from NY.. we were going to get fios but i don't know.

[HeadlessNorseman]

9797 down/3131 up. And i live in the same town as you. However, when i was in eatontown, I had fios. The service and speed were much better. I have a picture of bit torrent getting 2 mbs +/- download and so and so upload. Pretty sick connection. I remember when we first got cable internet here, i could download a song and listen to it at the same time. That was back before everyone in the world had cable internet. Now everyone is on that ****

the later it gets the faster it will be. You have to try it between 3-6 lol

Edit: i just got 16k/3k so that goes with my late theory

[DevilDougWS6]

oh yeah mine is a wireless router too, probably slows it down.

damn, washington dc is a lot faster for me

The more I deal with Verizon at work the more I know their service sucks. We have a 45MB fiber link that I had to deal with on Wednesday night last week. and we were getting errors, but like always "it was our equipment, not Verizons" :rollseye: Turns out their $12,000 card in their converter was erroring. Ill keep my Cablevision thank you, WAY more reliable than those a-holes.
And in a year you will wind up paying a LOT more for your slower connection than for cable. I priced out Fios for the same thing that I have here now and it was $50 a month more, good luck when your tripple play expires
