Re: Comcast to increase internet speed

Just got my increase a few days ago. Getting ~700 kb/s upload and only 2500 down.

They need to fix it :(

Comcast is always increasing their speeds in my area too, but every time they say it, I test it and see no difference. I think they just lie about it to make us think they're looking out for us :dry:

I know what you mean, sometimes I will download something so fast, I don't have a chance to upload the same amount. so then I have to take a break from downloading for a few days and only upload. :w00t: but I will live with that!! :w00t:

Re: Comcast to increase internet speed

or you can download the same torrent files from newsgroups or irc or a public tracker then go on and seed.... that was you download 0K and upload maybe 1.5gb for nothing :)

And onto the subject...

I pay £50/month (dunno what that is in dollars) for...

4096k down
386k up

but i guess its ok, coz i signed up for 2046 down and 256k up less than a year ago, and had to free upgrades since. Just hope they make another free upgrade soon, and make the upload a bit faster...at least 512 :)

we can only hope

Or even move to japan or china or whereever it is they have a 1gbps connection for about £110/month
