Tweaked yet?

Since you say you aren't receiving advertised speed, I'd like to know, have you tweaked your settings yet?

Re: Tweaked yet?

Yeah, I tweaked the connection the reason for the slow speeds is the tap is old and I need a new one ran. Not because of my settings. Thanks though

Speeds

Comcast doesnt guarentee your speed. You will probley never get advertised speeds ever. You see with cable internet you share bandwidth with every one in your area, at least thats what I learned in my Networking 112 class at Henry Ford Community college.

I have been with comcast for over 5 years. There service is good. There are ways to tweak your connection but dont expect to get 6Mbps every single day.

Interesting, I get these results pretty consistently from my 6/384 tier.

I realize that the speeds are not guaranteed. However, the speed that I was receiving was 4 meg+. And my tier is 4 meg. So actually I'm receiving 100% of my bandwidth now. And I hope to receive 100% when I'm upgraded to a 6 meg tier in two days.

And considering these results were on a 4 meg tier I'd say I get all my bandwidth...

Re: Speeds

Of course you guys are lucky. Here in Romulus you have Dialup or comcast. There are DSL providers however most of Romulus is not covered. Many are force to go to comcast. My friend lives right by the comcast node for the area he lives in, 30 people just got hooked up in the area and his speeds just dropped like a sack of potatoes. But for the most part as long as people are not on you should get the max bandwidth and speed possible.

New Speeds





W/O Powerboost

Where are these 31mb speeds coming from???

Comcast only offers a max of 8mb up, at least that's all here in Fort Lauderdale. Are those speeds for Fois (fiber) connections or do they offer speeds that fast over regular cable?

Re: Where are these 31mb speeds coming from???

I'm on a 6 meg tier. Those are just powerboost speeds. It eventually slows down to 6 meg and often I sustain better speeds than that.

Re: Where are these 31mb speeds coming from???

Thanks for your reply, but come to think of it, I NEVER see any such powerboost here with Comcast, it's like they don't have it running in South Florida ( even though I have to sit and watch those commercials over and over and over). As usual, Comcast never seems to put stuff out evenly accross the board.
