Did you click the link? I think he's confused that his upload is over twice as fast as his download.

Yeah...I work for a cable provider so I get close to 100mbps at work. Its kinda rough to get home and deal with .3

This isn't a post up what you got thread.

dsl. I pay for 6 down and .5 up.

 

[Andrew1990]

Stupid comcast, I use to get 24/6 a few weeks ago but now I get 9/5. Damn monopoly, I am probably going to switch soon.

 

[cheesehead]

U-verse gives me 5.7 down and 1 up.

At least, unlike charter, it works with some consistency and my TV no longer flickers.

This is my Comcast in Chicago's NW suburbs. I'm about 200 feet from a wired router as well.

Let me guess, you have the cheapest ATT plan in Chicago (Basic, I think it's called)? If you can, upgrade that connection to the fastest (Elite) speed. I went from bare-basic Verizon DSL in NYC (512kbps - not my choice, either) to ATT Elite here (supposedly up to 6mbps) and I can't believe I ever handled the slower speed. For $15 bucks more upgrade from Basic to Elite, you'll never go back to the Basic again.

Now if only ATT would actually FIX the phone wiring in my area. I ordered the 6mbps speed, and the technician came out to install the jack and said it was so bad, I'd be lucky to get 4mbps out of it. Luckily, I've pretty much hit that speed regularly, so it's all good anyways.

Yep, that is their excuse. I also find it amusing when one loses channels when one "upgrades" cable packages.


Here is my Comcast broadband in rural South Mississippi:

Triple Play (whatever broadband level is included in the package). Moving to Knoxville soon, so hopefully it will improve once I am in a city.

Ain't being that slow for me.

Those are the bits they had to spare. You don't like it? SEND YOUR OWN BITS

Mine also dropped for some reason (recently, too). I don't know if they're having issues or what. Sometimes it goes full speeds, sometimes it goes REALLY slow, sometimes the ping is crazy high, etc. I'll probably call them about this soon...see what's up.

 

[shortylickens]

16 down.
8 up.

I used to get much better speeds.

Eh... At $20/month, the cheapest is fine for me. I don't want to pay for the faster one. If I need to download a large file or something, I'd go to campus and do it. The lowest tier is certainly fast enough for what I want to do. Occasionally, I'll have to let a video load for a few seconds before playing it, but that's not a big deal.

[shocksyde]

I ditched Comcast b/c they're toolbags and got Xohm. It's only ~4/1 but that's fine by me.

I'm at work:

86.39 down
