How fast is your internet?
aswin:
hi I test the speed of my internet in many sites I got the best and accurate speed results from this site http://www.scanmyspeed.com/
my results are
download=1.04Mbps
upload=0.77Mbps.

On Facepunch, I bet I would have gotten banned for posting on a topic this old.

So I get a letter from Comcrap, oh, wait, it's XFinity now.
"We're raising your speeds 25%" "Restart your modem"
Before and after attached.
Here's my issues.
1) Why now?
A) Someone in my area actually competing? (Unfortunately, I live in a part of my town that has no competition. It's 1.5mbps or 25. Some areas have Knology and UVerse to compete)
B) Next year's internet rate hike (We've not had a big net hike in a while, only TV) - "We've improved your service, so had to raise cost"
C) We want you to meet your soft cap quicker
(Notice al my reason's aren't to "provide better service to me")
Stickly Man!:
Yah, all those seem like valid reasons coming from Comcast :P Did they just upgrade to Docsys 3.0 in your area? Or was it already there?
JamminR:
Doc 3.0 been here since at least March of 2011.
That's when I went from oversold node topping ~1mbps during peak usage hours to upgraded fiber line (to node) consistent 20mbps 4 channel bonded connection.
Guess they wanted to stress test it for a year.
Another test. Used the download, automatic, to help rule out if they're using speedboost.
