Is Comcast ever going to 'up' our UPload speed?

[UberDave]

I noticed ever since they gained control they've capped the upload from ~ 35 to like 14k a second. Anyone have any scoop on wether or not this is going to change? :disgust: ... i talked to a tech about 6 months ago and he said in about 2 months (4 months ago) that it would be full speed again. PUH.

I sure wish they would... 15k is PATHETIC.

Probably aout the same time sausage and bacon start flying.

<-- 15k upload limit. Ick.

i agree with what wnied's initial reaction.

:-\ Do you think DSL is a better option now? I hate 14K up.

Speaking from my Comcast technical support experience, your answer is a most definite "no" unless you're going to pay for a business account or something similar.

If they introduce tiered service (as I've heard they have plans to), you could probably pay more and get a higher upload cap. Otherwise, though, I'm guessing you will be SOL.

ya... that kind of service kinda sucks

Yeah i remember when cable first came out in the neighborhood, and in other areas it was 50k up, and 1.5mb down? The we got ~35k up then comcast took over and it went to 15k....bah, so much for 'new high speed internet and making things work for you'.

When I first got my cable installed (@Home back then, Adelphia now) the techs down at the office had messed up whatever caps the modems. So I could download and upload at the max speed available on my node It was pretty sweet, but they fixed it in like a week... I was very sad.

I'm a victim of Charter Cable - probably just as Nazi - we have 128k upload caps too - but lately uploads have increase from about 14 to about 22-24 for some reason, out of nowhere....

Port blocking, upload caps, dynamic IPs, bandwidth sharing, download caps - we sure do have it rough...

well right now i have about a 100KB/s cap, so I'm happy as long as they don't change it

Well if you want to pay 95 bucks a month, they will increase your upload to 384 Kb/sec and dl to 3.5 megs a sec. It is however only available in Michigan.

32KB upload here. descent, but I wouldnt mind 48KB

 

[dakata24]

there's talk on dslreports ATTBI forums of ATTBI having test areas in washington and some other places for 256Kbps upload.. and since comcast and attbi merged, it could be a possibility in the future.

 

[Linux23]

yup, you can forget getting higher upload speeds.
