Comcast XFINITY → Re: [Speed] slow download speeds in State College, Pa on weekend

No.

We have 2 tier options here already.
6000/768
16000/2000

I called tech support. Everything shows as normal on their end. No issues have been reported. I pointed this thread to the TSR to show the issue has spread from State College to Port Matilda & Stormstown.

Any ideas?

I am not sure what they are doing out there. Weird. We had a small problem here for a few days after initially being connected to the Comcast servers, but you guys have been connected for some time now I believe?

Wish I could be more helpful.

It's cool!
I did what I could with my discussion with the TSR. We'll see what happens in the next few days!

I'm located in Bellefonte and this is the first significant speed issue I've had in a very long time. I had no major issues immediately after the Comcast changeover. At that time I just had to release/renew/flush/register and I was good to go.

I'm Located in Tyrone and since yesterday (12-15-06) the page loading has been extremely slow.

I don't know if I should call Comcast or just wait a few days since this seems to be a wide spread problem in our area.

Hopefully this will get resolved soon in light of the fact our internet service is going up in January, from $42.95 to $59.95

Call in! The more people reporting the issue, the sooner it will be looked into.

Also, the price isn't going up unless you are upgrading to 16/2 or you don't have cable TV service with your HSI.

Hello,

I am in Bellefonte. I haven't seen any problems with my connection lately.

Johkal,

I will take your advice and call in.

You are right about the price increases. I only have Comcast for HSI as I have Directv for watching TV.

Still a pretty large increase for those of us with just internet service through Comcast.

Yes; as ex-Adelphia customers we were fortunate to not have been penalized for not having cable TV.

Super slow speeds here in PA Furnace for the past 48 hours as well. My VOIP (Packet 8) has been sporadic ever since the Comcast takeover. I'm not pleased. I call in and they tell me everything looks to be fine.
