Comcast's results.

Comcast is sort of cheating on the Ookla tests, because their Powerboost makes a 6/1 connection look like a 25/2 connection. Of course, if you only download 20MB and upload 10MB at a time, then Comcast really is the king of speed.

They don't sell 6/1 anymore. 12/2 is the minimum and those speeds are before any powerboost kicks in.

Re: Comcast's results.

D3 areas have 12/2, D2 areas are 6/1. I'm on 6/1 right now.
