Re: That's nice but.. Quintessential case of YMMV. My Comcast service has never dropped below advertised speeds due to channel loading in my history with the company, which is now above 18 months. |

And I have always gotten advertised speeds for the 8 years since I got Comcast internet. It just depends on where you live and what kind of users you share the local node with. If you share a neighborhood with many apartments filled with college students your performance at certain times will stink. |

When I had Comcast DOCSIS 3 22/5 here in Boulder, CO, I consistently saw my advertised speed and even frequently exceeded it.
The Comcast service had more (compared with Qwest which I have now) "hiccups" due to a DCC problem, which sucked because I play a lot of online games. But I never had throughput issues. |
