I haven't taken a beating like that since I opened my first issue of Hustler!
The World is a Sick Place and I'm a Happy Guy!
Cox is the shit!
my comcast has been shitty upload speeds like most but for me its at least consistent shitty speeds, now with speedboost it goes up to ~200 upload for about 20-30 seconds when i first start or if i limit my UL to like 30 for a couple minutes then back to 0 it jumps up around 200 again. i guess if i had the time i could sit around doing this all day and average somewhere around 100 kb/s. from what i hear comcast has something called blast now(or some other similar stupid name) that is a constant 2MBPS upload but its only available in limited areas right now.

If i leave on unlimited my average is about 60-80kbps if well leeched.(goes to 2-300 then 0) blast is 16\2 avail in areas with fios mostly. Notice 16\2 vs fios 15\2 just to say they are faster lol

I just moved and unfortunately I had to decide between ComCast or Quest. I don't like DSL so I had to go with ComCrap... little did I know what kind of havoc it was going to wreak on my torrent sites.
I simply can't seed. I've looked for every possible fix around their stupid f*cking vine and NOTHING is working.
Anger... rising...
Why don't you try Qwest even if it's dsl considering they offer pretty decent speeds for their fast connection at a fairly reasonable price.

Unfortunately the cable/internet package was a lot cheaper with ComCast compared to Qwest... although if there's absolutely no way around their bullshit I might just cave.
I've used Qwest before and I've never had much luck with them in my area. Outages, crap customer service... makes me want to pull my hair out.
Anti abuse COP!!

Here is what I did: I paid extra $10 bucks (thats total of $52/m) for the 8mb connection with comcast and the best upload speed with that is 100kbps but steady - no fluctuations. It can spike upto 120kbps at the best for those hot tv episodes. In another post..the pro package with dsl (att) gave an upload of 80kbps steady.
Continuous upload of 80kbps over 24 hours = 6.9gigs in 24 hours (not bad for seeding anyway!!) - about 45 gigs in a week (enuf to get PU status)
