Re: Comcast Cable speed concerns in Vista.
• This is not a Vista issue. It applies to any OS.
• Tests sites are structured to do nothing except speed tests. They limit the load on the servers; take the best route to/from the site, etc ....
• When downloading from a site, it is just the opposite. You have to deal with sever congestion, the route taken to the site, data error/retransmissions, etc ..... They have to deal with heavy loads which is the main cause for slower downloads. When Microsoft had a deal last week, it was just a roll of the dice if you got in. I tried for 5 hours and never got a connection.
