1 edit | Anyone have a speed increase in the Philly area
I am on the 6000 down plan, and all my speed tests from various locations put my speed at the 9000 to 10000 range today. Is comcast upgrading speeds again?

I am in your area and noticed increased download also. Upload remains the same. Have not tried any extended download to see what the sustained values may be though. |

| being a comcast tech agent i can tell you that nationwide comcast has increased both the regular tier and the speed tier from 6mbs to 8mbs and 8mbs to 10mbs respectivly. The only other speed increase is in the Atlanta market where a large speed increase of up to 16 megs is being tested, this market was chosen due to the very high usage of our speed tier. |

Well, after downloading a rather large file I see that speeds are still being limited to 6 mb/sec. Only thing I see different is that the connection seems to want to run like hell but I can watch the modem limit the download off and on. If anything has changed it seems to be that the potential for great speeds now exists. I would bet that an uncapped modem would really be sizzling right about now. |

@comcast.net | Spikes. Download a large file and see what the average speed is. Speed tests such as the one you mention do not run long enough to provide a realistic value. |

| And - speed bursting only occurs on systems with Cadent routers in the headend.
Still on a Cisco UBR here - no bursting...
