I have been using comcast.net for about 3 years now(used to be @home) and over the past year or so my service has gotten very bad. My downloads are still solid, but I have essentially no upload. Right now I have 2 computers running on comcast. I have them networked and my XP box is running ICS. Now when i go to upload anything, it just wont go. I cant send email attachments, I cant send files on AIM...infact, even submitting forms takes forever. Now these problems exist on both machines, but I had them before i started using ICS, so Im hesitent to blame it on that. I called comcast and they gave me all this crap about power output on my blah blah blah head end being low, and asked me to wait a few days. That was a month ago and the problem is no better. I just havent had time to call them back and sit on hold forever. I mean, I pay almost $50 a month and I want a service that works. Im not looking to run an FTP server, but if I want to IM an mp3 to a friend i should have enough speed to do that in a resonable amount of time(not the 19000 minute estimate that AIM gives me). I cant even upload files to my web space from comcast through their portal. Im basically posting and hoping to get some idea or ammunition for when I call them again...because I want results.
thanks,

Have you run speed tests to see what your actual upload is?
Are you running any sort of firewall, and if so have you tried turning it off and testing the upload too?
