| [Speed] Speeds all over the place since 100 upgrade; anyone else Immediately after the 100 upgrade, I saw speeds of 105 - 110 down, 20 up, but since I've seen everything from 69 - 85 down, 20 up. Every once in a while I see 100+ down again, but it's pretty rare.
Attempts to contact Comcast have met with 20+ minute hold times and promises to call me back that never come.
I posted on the Comcast Direct forum last night but haven't received a reply.
Anyone else seeing this behavior?

I seriously doubt that the Comcast network is capable of delivering 100 Mbps speeds to all end users 24x7. It's going to depend on too many factors, including where you're connecting. |

| Yes, but speedtest.comcast.net resides on Comcast's own network, so the influence of other factors should be minimized and only the question of internal bandwidth is at play.
Besides, I doubt Comcast's internal servers are getting hammered at say 3 AM when I've run some of the speed tests, and speed of 100+ wouldn't be restored by a modem reboot. |

I see the same myself at home, speeds from 40mbps upto 90mbps. (105/20 package speed). Likely due to network backend design or speed test site overload. Will likely improve as they get more customers on 105/20 package and upgrade backends as actual sustained usage increases. |
