Re: [Connectivity] Super slow downloads, uploads fine

This is exactly what I'm seeing. 15mbps downloads if Speedtest.net uses Comcast's Chicago server, 1.0mbps if I pick any other. Upload stays at 5mbps regardless of server chosen.

Shouldn't this mean it's something external, somewhere farther up Comcast's network? I'm loathe to reboot my modem for no reason, as I don't want to spend an hour on tech support begging them to reopen port 25.

My coworker reports the same issue. 90 kb/s everywhere. This sounds like a comcast issue more so than anything, imo.

I'm having the same problem in Lake Villa, IL, since 6/9/2013. Less than 1 Mbps down, normal 8 Mbps up. speedtest.comcast.net shows normal speeds only if you do the chicago test, and every other server is slow. It seems like a Comcast routing problem to me.

You're getting a lot more than you should. We're still at 60+mbps on Blast! with the rented modem.
