Speed bump from Comcast, anyone else?

[MustISO]

Got an email today saying that they were bumping us up another tier for no added cost (like they don't charge enough already). Came home, rebooted and say 122 Mb/s down and 12Mb/s upload.

 

[BoberFett]

Nope. Didn't receive a notice. Rebooted. Still 60/10. Can't complain too much about that speed.

 

[techs]

Thanks
I just went from 70/12 to 120/12

That gigabit router is now paying off!

 

[Pardus]

No speed bump, they did raise my monthly rate.

I was so thrilled with my 30/10 last year, and now it's apparently shit. Bummer.

 

[rh71]

How much is it a month?

 

[DesiPower]

man... I am still using 10/1... I feel like I am living in 3rd world country...

My heart goes out to you.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

2.5/1
sigh..

 

[techs]

2.5/1
sigh..

That's like 4th world speed.

 

[techs]

fyi I'm at 120/12 and the forum is still loading slow.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

That's like 4th world speed.

I've been waiting for the local cable co to run cable here and when I do it's a big 10mb download speeds. It's been on the way for about a year last I talked to them.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Damn, and people in the US complain they have crappy internet speeds?

I can't complain though since we got FTTH here now. 😀

I'm on 50/30, their top package is 250/30. I also just found out they got rid of all caps! Before only the 50/30 was unlimited. Going to stick with that though, I don't really need any more speed. The upload is nice too, US ISPs may offer crazy fast speeds but they seem to always skimp on the upload.

I don't know about you people, but i stream damn near everything and have many things running off the internet and 8Mb works pretty well. While I know it's on the bottom end of capabilities, those of you with 100+ are just wasting your money 99% of the time unless you are provisioning out your bandwidth to other people ;p UNLESS ALL OF YOU ARE PIRATES...I mean...sharing out linux distros 24/7.

 

[Crusty]

And I'm still paying $50 for 16/1.5

Google fiber cannot get here soon enough.

The disparity of speeds is mind boggling. Some places get more than 20 times the speed of other places despite being nearly the same population densities, etc.

Little to no competition really. I mean...I have FIOS, but the fastest offering is 40MB/s and it's $170/m.

It's only going to get worse from the sounds of it.

 

[RichieZ]

$37.50/month

 

[Strk]

Supposedly I got a bump, but it's only showing 15mpbs on speedtest

 

[Paratus]

Still 27 down 5.8 up

 

[Childs]

hmm...they sent a box with new equiptment a couple months ago but I never hooked it up. I'll set it up tonight!

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Just tested; 28 down, 2 up. Good thing I'm not seeding anything...

 

[bearxor]

I'm on 50/15 with my regional ISP and $75/mo for it. Thought I was doing good until this thread...

 

[Telgin]

All;

If you received a note from Comcast that you're DL/UL was increased, you must have a docsis 3 modem, and hard-reset your modem. Then perform a speedtest. That should do it. I know the "Blast" internet went from 50/10 to 105/20 at no additional cost in many areas.
