Speed bump from Comcast, anyone else?

[Sonikku]

No speed bump for me, I'm on Time Warner.

But then again we Time Warner costumers aren't interested in faster speeds.

Though I'm jealous... At home I have shitty U-Verse, which struggles to get 15/2Mbps 🙁

Still at 21 down and 6 up but I am in Floriduh!

Ill try disconnecting the modem but I doubt an increase will happen.

edit: Yeah, no.

It's so freaking annoying my download is constantly slower than my upload.

Piece of shit broadband

You've got some slow-assed internet there, son...

(though my latency is higher than usual today...)

Have I mentioned recently you should both diaf?

Do you find many, or even any, sites that will send at that speed outside of the speed test?

25/5 plan is right on the mark for me. No free speed bump.

 

[Gillbot]

Bumped from 50 to 105

you forgot to hide that you're at work.

Are you limited by your gigabit network speed?

I've been on Comcast since October 2012, and was on the 12MB plan at that time. It was only $35/mo., so it was a much better plan than our previous Verizon DSL 3mb plan. That was just atrocious. Speed of the Comcast connex at that time:

I checked our speed only once since moving to Comcast, so that test was the first week we had it. Fast forward to today, and things were a bit laggy on the net, so I decided to run another test, only to see these numbers pop up:

Whoa ! I received no email, but then again we don't actually HAVE email set up via Comcast. We retained our Verizon email address for $20/yr., so I have never logged in to Xfinity to check on any plan changes.

I read this thread now, so it appears that many are getting a significant boost as of yesterday.

Likely, or it's a gig internet connection (metro ethernet)

If I do the test from Pittsburgh I only get 40 down but from Frederick, Md I get 90.

Very likely. Or we're limited by speedtest.net's gigabit internet connection.

It might be fun to try the same test on one of the prod networks.

Off promo prices are $59 a month for Optimum or it's ATT Dsl @ 2.5 down for $45 a month here. 🙁

Upgraded here in Derry NH. 120 / 12mbps

 

[Telgin]

If your area is currently included in the speed bump for Blast and Extreme 105, go to comcast.com/powercycle. A list of compatible modems is at mydeviceinfo.comcast.net

So we officially stomp the idea that Comcast isn't doing constant upgrades to improve user experience at no additional cost.

Comcastict!

 

[John Connor]

Nope, same shit we pay out our ass for. I bet like clock work next month all three services will be out again. Cock suckers!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Gig would be awesome, provided they actually allow servers, otherwise it would be kind of poinless other than bragging rights. Would be so awesome to get that though.
