[Connectivity] Slowdown in Delaware--anyone notice?

My speed has really slowed in the past week. I am getting about 1/2 MB down on speed tests. It seems like the speed of downloads will start off normal, then crawl to a halt. I called comcast and they said all was good on their end. I still need to rule out a bad router, but I wanted to check if anyone else has noticed this.

Thanks,

Chris

Don't know where you live in Delaware, but in Newark getting full speed. (8.6 / 725) Might just be doing maintenance on their system in your area.

Re: [Connectivity] Slowdown in Delaware--anyone no

I don't have Comcast as my ISP now but with my cable modem plugged into a spare coaxial cable, provisioned for 6600/384Kbits per second (per modem stats), I can DL "http://cdn/downloadable_install_wizard.exe" @ 654.1KB/sec (average) at this time.

It was at 700-800KBytes/sec yesterday so...

Thanks for the responses. I am in Northern Wilmington and it is working much better now--getting about 5 MB down. Don't know what changed... Are you guys paying extra for the 8 MB speed?

I have been unable to get the upgraded speed at my location in Newark. I have a SB4100 and have heard there are problems with getting the new speed with them. Is anyone in Newark getting the new speeds with the Motorola SB4100??

just checked this morning and saw that Smyrna is getting a solid 6Mbps connection.. I guess the connection problems were due to the upgrade.. everything works great now
