i tried to test my connection speed on speakeasy, and from miami to georgia the speeds were 2413 kbps and upload at 1552 kbps, i called comcast to see what rate they said i should have and they could only give me the power of each, i was wondering what it converted ti, they said i had the 6mb connection, 11.7 megavolt download
38.5 mmegavolt upload

speedtest.net

try that and post your results.

I was paying for the 8 down/768 up connection from comcast, and i was getting maybe 3 down and the 768 up. My modem was a few years old, and i went out and replaced it with the new surfboard, and my connection went up to 10 down and 1.5 up.

What kind of router do you have? Have you tried doing the speedtest directly from the modem to your pc?

And are you in a congested area?
