wewt my internet just got faster!

[Mrfrog840]

For some reason i was on dslreports.com this morning and noticed that my connection had greatly improved over the night! Im on the 768/128 package and usually never break 100k/sec constantly. Just went on dslreports again and this is what i got

Your download speed : 1326827 bps, or 1326 kbps.
A 161.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 116788 bps, or 116 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

upload still sucks i know. But i can download 70k/sec faster now!:beer:

It's only because all the nerds are out buying hardware. It will slow back down once they start surfing again.

 

[Amorphus]

you'd think there would be a wait or something for the speed test servers, seeing as how they can only handle a test every 3 seconds...

I can't wait for my internet to get faster...January something for Comcast to up the bandwith...

 

[Mrfrog840]

i wish they would up the upload to like 768

Some people already got the upgrade to 3mbps, upload remains the same.

My local RR was upgraded to 3megabit/second barrier at the end of September but, I still only get 150-200Kbps speeds, not the advertised 3megabit.

Hell yah! Why in the world would they do that though? It just doesn't make too much business since to me; though i'm not the one running a million dollar biz.

They have to, to keep up with dsl price cutting. Most cable companies are.

 

[alkemyst]

The upgrade is to handle increased volume....soon enough the cable speeds will creep back down...in congested areas you are lucky to get 1/2 to 3/4 normal dsl speeds, and the worst I have heard is 56k on peak time....I didn't confirm that.

I get about 1216k to my local terminus (218k up) and 900k worst case anywhere else (still 218k up oddly).
