What do you pay for that?

an alchemist?
I'm just going to go out on a limb, the gambler I am, and say, "too much".What do you pay for that?
I recently did some calculations and found that I would have to transfer more than 3 TB of data per month in order to stop Brighthouse from making a profit off of me.
I've never had the interest to measure, but I likely don't even top 200 GB.

P.S. When I said "recently", I meant as I was writing the post. I have no idea why I'd try to mislead anyone into thinking it was a calculus project that required some devotion of my time.

yeah, I can't stand Comcast either...But where I'm at, I don't have much choice. Comcast or Verizon DSL, & I had Verizon for a few years. Best DL speed I ever got with them was 350kbps...& I won't even mention what my up speed was
You're getting a lot better DL speeds than me though: 492262104.png
Did you upgrade your modem sometime last summer? I got a notice to upgrade, but never did it. Think I'll give them a call & get the new one & see if it will bump my speeds up a little.

Why aren't you guys running 3rd party tests? Corporate-run speed testing would send me running... or am I reading that wrong?

I did, but I got the same results.

I tried 3 different tests, and the differences were negligible.

$70/mo. includes minimalist digital channels (with streaming of the same), a digital converter box, and HBO. Would be $10 more, but I argue with them each year and make them give me the same rate.What do you pay for that?
@Teflon: Upgrading to Docsis 3 will improve your speeds. Docsis 2 does max out (not sure if this is something done by Concast, or is an actual speed thing) on their system. Instead of renting from Concast, look around for sales (Newegg regularly has the modem for under $70). All you have to do is find out Concast's compatible modems, buy one, then call Concast with the numbers on the unit. Easy. Will pay for itself in 1 year.

No one asked what your speed test was. The topic is about whether your speeds doubled. And for context, what do you pay for said speed?
