How fast is your internet?

So apparently Comcast has been doubling the speeds in their plans, and my friend told me yesterday that it was hitting our area today. Here's two speedtests I just took--
Before modem reboot:
After a modem reboot:
Well, that was a pleasant surprise! :) It at least makes the $74/mo. me and my brother split for internet worth it. I hear that they've phased out powerboost with this latest upgrade, too, which seems to be true as far as I can tell.
JamminR:
Sadly, they've still not got my area. According to BBR (broadbandreports.com), they've been planning this a while.
They hit one state north of me, they hit one state south of me, for whatever reason, they've not hit the city that actually has the tech support call center for most of the eastern sea-board.
Also, Stickly, check out http://speedof.me ... though it's not always as fast, it will give better anti-powerboost test (I find that speedtest.net still shows I have full 25mbps, but, speedof.me starts at 25, then finally goes down to average of 16-17, which is what my samknows.com FCC monitoring shows as average for my monthly average speeds)
Tested just now - still have powerboost at 25, then slows to 17.
(no, not that bad, but, still not upgraded either)
Stickly Man!:
Speedof.me shows this:
..Despite the weird glitch on the upload, it looks like there's no powerboost to me!

Megiddo approves of 55 Mbps speeds. :D
I'm glad that I upgraded all my network components to gigabit a while back. I know we're not quite there yet for Internet speeds, but it's close enough that there may be issues with 100 Mbps wiring now due to various overheads. Now I just need to pick up a DOCSIS 3.0 modem in preparation for these speed when I get back home. :D
