Cable Broadband Bandwidth Jump

crofty83 · Feb 27, 2007

I've logged on this morning to download some stuff. Now I usually get a D/L speed of about 450kbps but this morning im getting above 1.1mb constant speed. Has anyone else seen a hike in there throughput?

I ran a speed test using http://www.speedtest.net/ and it gave me result

Ping :- 44
Download :- 4681 (I did get 9308 on a few tests)
Upload :- 489

Holy crap a ping of 44? Im lucky to get double that. Been as low as 75 once but never lower. I do have a crappy internet connection in my area due to drgraded lines though.

Hi Crofty,

Yes, that's a great site to test internet speed.

The speeds would be higher if there wasn't 200 people here simultaneously sharing the connection.

Comcast apparently upgraded our service area recently. I've been hitting well over 1MB downloads on some occasions. Upload hasn't really changed though.

Well considering that the US is lagging further and further behind the rest of the world in terms of bandwidth available to the consumer, and the providers jsut got reamed about it IIRC. I wouldnt be suprised at all if there was a bit of a gain.

I am giving Comcast until the end of the month of March to figure out and fix my dropping connection issue. If it isnt fixed, I am going to DSL, FIOS or satellite instead. Connections dropping out once an hour with nothing but IRC and EvE going is starting to annoy me.

I always thought my cable connetion was fast. Looks like most of you have way more bandwidth than my Optimum Online connection.

Crappy TWC, gets better speeds further away. Testing off my local gateway gets me much better speeds. The DC server gives me my best times on any 'wild' speed test. Though I take a hit on pings. Strange, but hey least it is not dialup.

They've got my ISP dead-on.

edit: My recommended server is always NY though, and my "person" on the map stands inbetween MD, DC, and NY. Currently testing from NC.
