How fast is your ISP?

I'm pretty curious what's everyone ISP speed is since it's 2012. I remember back then I had AT&T Green Stingray ADSL Model which provided 512/128. Now it's an entire different story. I stuck with AT&T for well over a decade but due to declining service and customer service, I decided to drop AT&T. I went over to Comcast and I have to say, I can't be more happier.

This is Comcast Performance tier. This is obviously the PowerBoost speed. I think the raw speed is now 15/3 or something like that. My upstream is stuck on 32QAM instead of 64QAM, so it could be even faster. It'd be nice if Comcast would enable upstream bonding again.

12/2, fast enough for me. Can't imagine what I'd need 100 Mb/s for. But yes, we're all impressed by your speed.

Mine is identical to Jon's as are my sentiments.

Powerboost apparently really makes the speed test wacky. This is 12/2 business class.

The only major issue I have with Comcast is the upload speed. I thought they were going to change the upload speed of the 100m to 20m for upload. I heard they are going to upgrade everyone's uploading speed.

They probably will not increase upstream speeds until they get upstream bonding enabled. It was working for awhile during the summer, but then was turned off. I guess there may have been some issues that they needed to work out.

I am on the 18/1.5. Works for my household. To the original OP, enjoy that high monthly payment showoff and bandwidth cap, lol, J/K.

Actually, I want to downgrade because most server don't even let take advantage of the 100m down. I've been thinking of downgrading to Comcast Premium package 22/5. It's really more than I need at the moment.
