on speed.io I can get 32-35mbps/7mbps with a 9-15ms ping. I have no idea where their servers are, or how accurate it is. I hope my speed and ping increase if/when they run me a new underground line. (my signals are pretty bad, +10db down/+55.7db up, too high) |

I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area - LA is ~500 miles away.

As with any part of speed tests don't trust them.
Here, me to SF - about 14 miles away
Killer ping, huh?

Hi,
Run the 100 MB download test on www.testmy.net it will give you a better overall speed result....
Powerboost increases speed test results so you need to use a very large file test that will bleed off the powerboost impacts....

All speed tests are not to be trusted, even testmy.net:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Download Connection is:: 5980 Kbps about 6 Mbps (tested with 102391 kB)
Download Speed is:: 730 kB/s
Tested From:: »testmy.net/ (Main)
Test Time:: 2008/11/03 - 5:00pm
Bottom Line:: 104X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.4 sec
Tested from a 102391 kB file and took 140.265 seconds to complete
Download Diagnosis:: 90% + Okay : running at 95.34 % of your hosts average (comcast.net)
D-Validation Link:: »testmy.net/stats/id-3S8BC72GA
User Agent:: Opera/9.62 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Presto/2.1.1 [!]
Uhm, not quite! 
To really see how fast your connection is, you should start a few LARGE downloads and use a meter or add up all the indicated speeds after 100MB or so.
Something like FlashGet and downloading a few dl.tv videos will light up your connection... see pic!

| don't use speakeasy for online bandwidth testing. it's extremely unreliable. one of the best ones i've used is »www.toast.net and use the "shuttle + text" option. it will also give you a comparison of your speed versus other providers.

| When did Comcast increase the upload speed? This is the first speed test I've done in a couple months. I am 90 miles east of Chicago.

I always wondered why TestMy speed test is ALWAYS slow yet in the Verizon Fios forum people there max out their speeds..Verizon must have a better network ..because half the tests on Comcast turn out to be crap for speeds unless its Speakeasy or the Comcast speed test. |

| Better network? Possibly but the crap tests from Speedtest.net could be merely peering issues with other carriers - or just Speedtest.net itself.
I think it's them.
Some people on Comcast post test results with really low pings and decent speed results - others(like me) get crap tests from them.
I will state this once again:
*NO* speed test is to be trusted, period!
To really see what your connection can do, start a few LARGE downloads from a known fast server and see what the line will do.
I recommend using FlashGet and starting 4-6 video downloads from dl.tv(see pic).
This will usually max out your connection - on any ISP.

For speed tests, I've noticed that many, especially Speedtest.net, seem to have trouble accurately reporting cable HSI speeds. This is as true for Charter, as for Comcast (they currently have a Speedtest.net thread in their forum, as well).
They seem to do better with DSL level speeds (under 7 mb/s). But even then, the Speedtest.net servers are off, when compared with the native ATTIS java based speed tests. NDT speed tests seem to do better; such as this one:
»netspeed.stanford.edu/
Check a University near you; there might be a closer site than Stanford (which is very close to my location).
