When I had dial-up, I was lucky to get 3.75 KB/sec



This is more normal though...

Last Result:

Download Speed: 6200 kbps (775 KB/sec transfer rate)

This is a fairly common result for me. I'm glad I'm getting what I pay for. Scott, your speeds seem unbelievably high for only having a 6Mbps connection!

Every one I tried, I was higher than the Comcast average. I do know that 8 mbps is available, maybe it is automatically upgraded?

Geez, my download speed seems slower than most of you. That's even with a "local" server. Dang Adelphia!

Craig, replace "most" with "all" and that statement will be true.:D:D

was gonna test the work comp but it wont work because they've adjusted the activex controls to block flash (out of the three hospital locations and over a thousand comps i think they did this just for my computer only, lol)

Atl server. I am on charter 3 mbps service.
 
RoadRunner with Time Warner here, via the Atlanta test:



Download Speed: 4814 kbps (601.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 360 kbps (45 KB/sec transfer rate)



Hit it 3X and these were typical for all 3.



Guess I'm lucky too in that my service is pretty reliable.
 
Comcast (I think it's supposed to be 4Mbps down, but I can't remember for sure), ran it using the Seattle test.



Ran 3 times

Download Speed: 5805 kbps (725.6 KB/sec transfer rate)



Upload Speed: 352 kbps (44 KB/sec transfer rate) - Exactly the same every time.
 
This test seems pretty liberal on the results. Realistically I see about 15% less speed than I got with this:

This is Rogers Cable in downtown Toronto. Luckily for us (I guess) Canada has a pretty competitive high speed market, so speeds are generally higher for less money.



Scott - when I had Concast in the Bay Area I had a similat thing going on for awhile (10mb download) while they were moving from 3mb service to 6mb service. As soon as the upgrade was complete I went back down to 6mb though.
 
Just this morning:



Download Speed: 2061 kbps (257.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 784 kbps (98 KB/sec transfer rate)



Still crappy though!

I guess you fellers aren't having this intermittent problem that many of us Comcrap users are experiencing. It's fast when it works, but it cuts out all the time. Many threads here: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/comcast

Setec: That is something common in certain parts of Chicago. I was working on someone's computer some time ago and Comcast's connection dropped for a staggering 2 hours.
