wow really? imagine googles connection speeds..
that 400mb would probably be faster then anything here in aust, apart from the big corporations.
I'm guessing all these Comcast ones with high numbers is just PowerBoost in effect? They certainly didn't offer those types of full time speed when I had them last year.
Pretty darn close to the advertised 15/2 service.

No, I get those sustained speeds, they are actually higher than what the speedtest shows, I did that over wireless, I have the 50mbit connection.
To be fair, the closest server was a province away. But still, Grandma's intranatz is pitiful.
Yuck.
Agreed. Thankfully my own connection back home is leaps and bounds better.
Their top two service tiers, Ultra and Extreme 50, require leased DOCSIS 3.0 modems. I have their Blast service, the highest level supported by DOCSIS 2.0 equipment.

I have the Ultra, it's pretty quick, and they even leave port 80 open! I think it's more of a business line!
