Comcast doubled my internet speed

No this isnt a free ad about i can has an ipad

Did anybody else get their speed doubled? Im downloading off Steam at 7.6mb/s right now

used to hit 3.8 on the 25mbps plan, so exactly doubled
 
Comcast's 50megabit plan comes with 10megabit of overhead for television, voip, etc. So 60megabit / 8 = 7.5MB/s.

Moving on, there's a chance Comcast did this because there is a new game in town. You might want to look into it.
 
I've been on their 105mbps tier for the past two years for 60/mo. I think I am getting 13.7-14 MB/s sustained download speed with it. Can't really complain.
 
They have been rolling out free upgrades regionally as far as know. A few of my friends in the area got the upgrade last summer, I got it a few months ago.
 
Mine doubled too.. I just ran the speedtest.net.
Cranking along at 115Mbps.

glad I didn't go with YouVerse who could barely guarantee me 6Mbps, although I still hate Comcrap.

25 Mb/s plan gets you 7.6 Mb/s service...what?

Just...erm...chipping in from New Zealand...the 29th fastest internet in the world...apparently...

I absolutely wish I had 7Mbps. What I have is a shitty 3Mbps from a service that was advertised as 11Mbps where the ISP-supplied router cuts out literally twice a day.
 
What i hate is that I have two options. Comcast or WOW!. For the same price as the 12/3 plan here at WOW! I could get the 50/50 at comcast, or for a tiny bit more get 105/105. Thing is, I don't trust comcast. 🙁

megabit vs megabyte I imagine

Speedtest would show 28mbps download, but when I download a game off Steam I would get 3.8 mb per second

I'm sure others here know what I'm talking about... pretty sure I am just getting my mb MB mB Mb wrong, but I dont care enough to look it up

Why did 7 byte ate? Because 8 looked too much like a bit and needed to be one/ate the size.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I don't care 😛
