I just signed up for Comcast for 19.99 a month... I wasn't expecting a whole lot but WOW.

My Internet seemed kinda quick so I did a speed test. What are you guys pulling and how much are you paying?

FIOS FTMFW

This is the home PC, I'm at about 3/3 on wireless

(don't know if it makes a difference but we also have LIVE running on 2 360s and my laptop right now)

41.0 down / 34.53 up

That's using speedtest.net connected to the NYC server. Of course, that's my work connection ;)

Testing through an SSH tunnel from my workstation to a FiOS connection at my friend's house I get 22.14 down / 13.12 up.

FiOS connection tested through speakeasy gives me 23,011 kbps down / 9,296 kbps up.

I would imagine results would be slightly higher if I wasn't going through the SSH tunnel.

I currently pay 69.99 / month for FiOS internet and home phone, looking to grab their TV service now too though - offering 6 months of Internet / TV / Phone for 79.99, then 99.99 for the remaining 18 months.

It looks like that speedtest.net site is giving bogus returns. I ran both sites from work earlier and now from home and the results aren't even close between the 2 speed tests.

I got similar results from both :shrug:

I saw a 12-14kb difference from several servers last night so something isn't right. It might be timing and traffic, but then that throws out the validity of the test regardless.

Just ran a test from here at work:

Speakeasy download: 41374
Speedtest download: 36920

Speakeasy upload: 4299
Speedtest upload: 34910

Thats $50 a month comcast internet. As always the major downside of cable is they cheap out on up rate but then again everyone did until fios came out.

Personally I'll never switch to FIOS. Besides the fact that comcast has great customer service FIOS' rate seems to climb when you wanna gain anything over cable speeds. It may have changed but then again its not available around here anyway...

Remember that 19.99 / month is a promotion for 6 months only after you get jacked up for about $50/month. As for comcast I couldn't be angrier... I am a high bandwith user and comcast does not tell you that they have a bandwith limit of 250 gigbytes a month, I had exceeded this well over 800 gig/month. I had been suspended from comcast for a year and am currently awaiting fios in my town. I will never run comcast again
