On paper it's supposed to be 200Mbps down and 100Mbps up. And this is what it measures as:

This was my old connection, which was supposedly 160Mbps (don't remember what the advertised up-speed was):

And the best part is, the new one is also cheaper. Big Smile

My connection is not reporting anything approaching those speeds and, allegedly, it's "Faster than 88% of all US".

I guess all I can say here is you are paying the folks who had a hand in destroying the tech tv cable channel and shows I used to watch .... Leo and the crew are still around but the cable channel is gone....

Comcast bought them and in no time at all they were gone.

Believe me if I had a choice I won't be using Comcast. The only other two possibilities for me are AT&T and Astound. But I found Astound doesn't service the area I moved into 6 months ago, which is about 3 miles away from where I used to live where they did provide service. AT&T does service my area but only at a paltry 3MB/sec option. So I'm stuck with Comcast for the foreseeable future.

I had a particularly bad experience with Comcast about two months ago and almost considered going to AT&T even at the much reduced speed.

My current plan is 100MB one, can be upgraded to 1GB fibre direct-to-home at very low cost if I'd like too (the fibre is already laid right outside the building I live). And my mobile connection reach 25MB/5MB (@4G LTE, no usage limit) too.

Yay for internet super highway!
