Comcast Turns it Up!

If you are a current High Speed Internet subscriber than you may have been upgraded with blazing fast internet speeds and you never knew it. Comcast has turned it up a notch offering speeds of up to 50 MBS!
If you are currently a High Speed Internet customer, you may want to test your upload and download speeds by visiting www.speedtest.net or visit Comcast to see if your area has been upgraded by visiting http://comcast.p.delivery.net/m/p/com/wid/wideband.asp.
Before the big change, I was currently paying for the Comcast 5 MBS service which had the capabilities of download speeds of 5MBS and upload speeds of 784K, that all changed!
My current speeds have more than tripled at no additional cost, unless you want to upgrade. I ran a test for both my download and upload speeds. Here are the results;
Download = 16.2 MBS (Megabits Per Sec)
Upload = 3.2 MBS
As you can see this is a significant upgrade in High Speed Internet Service.
My package ($42.95/mo) Performance (up to 15 Mbps and upload speeds up to 3 Mbps with PowerBoost®)
How fast is your internet connection?

I believe you meant to link to http://www.speedtest.net, unless you actually want to send traffic to speedtest.com. I get 11129 down, 431 up during the middle of the day with optonline.

Did I do that? I think I did and will fix it now. I had .com on my mind.

Keep in mid that comcast filters out your bittorrents. What is the point of all that speed if you can’t download an ISO or a Movie quickly ?
