Comcast upped their service to 6mb/768kb

Gold tier was ten dollar more monthly when I used the service in the states. It was right after the new year in 2005 - 6Mb/768k and silver was upgraded from 3Mb/256k to 4Mb/384k.

Silver is now 6Mb/384k in upgraded areas. Check dslreports.com/forums for more info!

Don't feel bad, I'm using a 256kbps (MAX) link with 850mS avg latency connecting to a citrix servant in the states, vpn from that to a winders box which I post from. Some days I can type a whole line before I see it in the box I'm typing and if I mess up I have to go back. It's like being drunk when sober. Like that makes any sense.

8.9 megabits per second

Communications 8.9 megabits per second
Storage 1.1 megabytes per second
1MB file download 0.9 seconds
Subjective rating Unbelievable

I should be getting 9.2 🙁

I thought you should be getting 10?

When you reach the 10/1 speeds I get with OOL let me know. We are supposed to get 20/2 starting in October.

I really can't see why you'd need 56Kb/sec.

hmm, sounds like just a few years ago. and yet now you probably can't imagine life without what we currently call broadband.

Actually, TBH, I don't use newsgroups, BT rarely crosses 100 or 150 KB/sec, and I think once you have even 768k DSL, web pages load plenty fast. I was fine with Comcast's 1.5 Mbps two years ago when I got it.
 
So you only get upgraded if you also have the TV cable package? When is this coming to Cali, we're always the last ones.
 
Bah.... I still get 3.5 - 5.0 mbps...

Nothing near the advertised value...
Only thing I care about right now, PING...
Counterstrike lags with comcast so bad...
But there are no better ISP's in my area unless I pay over $100.

Congestion and overhead I guess. From usenet I usually run around ~1100-1200k/s sustained.
 
Just tried grabbing something this morning. Download went to 818Kb/s and settled at around 770KB/s. Very interesting...
