[posol]

using mozilla bandwith tester i dl at 3.39 but it doesnt measure upload.

Comcast didnt make changes everywhere, it was only certain areas(I think theres a list of states and areas that got increased to 4MB/s.
My area was included, and I haven't noticed a difference. They say you need to powercycle your cable modem, which I also did, and I still dont see a difference.

Just got this today.

To take advantage of the speed increase, simply unplug your modem, wait 60 seconds and plug your modem back in again. (Click here for further instructions http://faq.comcast.net/faq/answer.jsp?name...&CM.src=email.)

[posol]

so is yours faster now dennis?

 

[CRX-YEM]

yeah my upload bandwidth reports as 330kbps to 380kbps
my download speed reading from broadbandtools.com isn't an accurate reflection of my speed as I had some BT among other things d/l ing
so yeah the upload I can definetley say has increased

 

[posol]

word- i'll have to re-fresh mine when i get home

 

[dohcvtec_accord]

On a related note....can anyone recommend a new cable modem for me? My current one (I own it, not leasing from Comcast) likes to stop transferring data from time to time, which makes me unplug it and restart it. This happens about once every 2-hour online session.

[posol]

[CRX-YEM]

[YouKnowWhoIBee]
