testing the new comcast high speed

**one1** · 10-17-2008, 10:13 AM

I like it.

Seems to haul azz. This is some "other" comcast service aside of the regular high speed. I forget which, but it isn't cheap.

The picture below is my speed test on my wireless router.

HOLY ****! How much does that cost per month?

**one1** · 10-17-2008, 10:26 AM

I'll let you know when I get the bill........ it's never what they say.

I am paying 30 bucks a month for 1Mbit here in Iowa... just shoot me!

I'm finally getting to use the iMac to it's full potential. 2.4ghz, 4gb ram. Also note those speeds are on my OLD tear drop Apple router. Not an N-router.

I'll tell you this..... you better not blink or you'll miss something.

Comcast 6mbps package with my old tear drop Apple router

**one1** · 10-17-2008, 07:57 PM

Not bad! I have the 8mbps package. It seems to mainly affect the uploads.

**mac-mini** · 10-17-2008, 09:22 PM

this isn't comcast, but cox (my ISP) uses the same powerboost stuff comcast does.

let's see what the upload is on the 21st when they upgrade it

(this is cox's 7m/512k plan, upgraded to 9m/768k on the 21st

)

Are those results of the regular speed or the "powerboost" component (first 20 megs)? Just trying to understand the results.
