Re: Comcast Cable speed concerns in Vista.

I appreciate the response.

Your answer about the test sites, is pretty much what I figured.

The speeds of 5-6 down are pretty consistent across the board when downloading from anywhere, so my concern is that there may be something preventing the speeds from going past that threshold.

I would think that I would see a higher down speed occasionally, depending on where the file/files are coming from, but that just isn't the case.

It is disappointing to be paying a premium for faster speeds, but never seeing them come anywhere near there (taking into consideration all that can get into the way of achieving those speeds), ever.

So all looks good on my end?

Since Vista is auto-tunning, there is nothing to tweak (unless you like snake oil .

So based on you advertised speed and the results of then teh faster speed test, I would say it looks good. One issue that I have seen, is that certain ISPs, might be throttling the bandwidth if the circuits are having high usage.

Hahaha!! I'll pass on the snake oil. I do laugh at some of the so called tweaks out there.

Again, I appreciate the response.
