Qwest 7Mbps vs Comcast 8 Mbps

I've got both. Gotta decide which to keep. Supposed to be comparable. What do you think? Which of these results is better?

JAVA test to MegaPath, SanFran.: Comcast Cable, 8 Mbps / 756 Kbps

Joe looks like you're setup for a 1.5 Mbps connection not 7. With 7 Mbps connection you should be seeing 5.5-6.2Mbps actual speed. Your upload speed is spot on though for Qwest.

 Nope, not 1.5 Mbps download. Qwest speed tests out at 5 Mbps to Minneapolis. But only 1 or sometimes 2 Mbps to San Fran. I'm paying for 7 Mbps. It seems that the train speed (upload) is about 875 kbps. The sales guy at Qwest didn't really know and was just saying 1 Mbps upload. Turns out that the Comcast upload IS 1 Mbps.

 Hey there, this is Brian with Qwest. I ran across your post here, and would like to offer my help with getting your Qwest DSL speed running properly. If you are paying for 7M speed, and getting less than 1.5M, there has to be a problem somewhere.

If you would like my help on this, please send me an e-mail to TalkToUs@Qwest.com, and put my name in the subject line.

Thanks,

he might be partially right. usually upload is 896k or 1M for older (grandfathered) accounts.
