penger Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 (edited) Comcast in Boston "pre-storm". Also running a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, though I dunno if that makes any difference. Edited August 27, 2011 by penger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted September 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Just got off the phone with a telemarketer phone monkey from my ISP. He was trying to sell me on a variety of digital cable packages, of which I had no interest. I did ask him about potential bandwidth upgrades. Right now I'm paying $60/mo for "12Mb down, 1Mb up" though I often get far below that. The marketing droid listed the following options: 18Mbit down, 2Mbit up for $70/mo. 25Mbit down, 3Mbit up for $85/mo. 60Mbit down, 5Mbit up for $120/mo. That last option is pretty sexy, but I am positive the wiring to my house would never deliver anything close to that throughput. After I got off the phone, I did a speed test: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeymad Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Grahame... You should just post in Slower Forum... So I got an offer in the mail today 25Mbps.. so I thought I would check. Guess I don't need to pay Comcast any more money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted September 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 Damn, dude. Removing the faulty (wired) router from my network chain has made for a notable improvement. I think the router had been dying for quite some time. A year ago I got 500+ K/s when leeching off my friend's server. Earlier this year, it dropped to 2-300K/s. A month ago, it was 150K/s and last week it varied hugely but dropped as low as 20K/s. Last night it was saturating my downstream at 1.5MBps. I need a "Memorex" smiley here.

NightWoundsTime Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 OH damn, I just blew over the 250GB Comcast monthly limit. 262 GB's. I think what I do now is go on a total rampage and get another 200GB's or so on there by Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NightWoundsTime Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Mikey, is that your own usage? Have they ever contacted you? In their FAQ it says they evaluate based on your area and if you're affecting other users. Not to hate on my 'hood but I'm on the end of a fairly short line that I'm doubting is packed with power users (considering my connection never slows down). We'll see how they play it.

mikeymad Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 Mikey, is that your own usage? Have they ever contacted you? Yes, and No.... that is my normal usage.. just have to wait for the call. the 250G limit was put in place in 2008.. seems crazy with HD streaming these days that it would still be the same limit.

Grahame Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) ^HD Streaming not provided by comcast that competes with their (overpriced, non a la carte) content offering? I'm Shocked!, Shocked!. Had a college at work who got "The Call", after similar (Well 2TB/Month) usage, who was "encouraged" to move from a residential to a business plan, uncapped @ $15/month more. Worth it to him. That is quite a lot of pr0n content Edited October 30, 2011 by Grahame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeymad Posted October 30, 2011 Report Share Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Was looking at business myself as well.. but it was the $200 install that held me back. Will wait for the call and then negotiate... its all the BBC t0rrents that I cannot watch otherwise...
