That was wierd. All of the sudden the post text box (message area) saves my last post, WTF? My last post text was in the text box.
I have comcast, I'm in PA. All of the sudden I have a massive amount of bandwidth. I'm getting 700+Kb/s download from easynews. This is interesting. Did they up the cap or is this a discrepancy?

yes, comcast is upping their systems. In 2 months I will have 16 mb/sec download speed!!! with 750 kb/sec upload...That's insane!!
Plus my firefox does that too.

I heard they were only upgrading their systems in markets where FiOS is available? Hope I'm wrong...
Also the upstream speed is going to 1mbps from 768kbps. Personally I'd be a lot happier with a 3mb/3mb line. I really don't need to download movies in less than 5 minutes, but the upstream is killing me.

Yeah they're upgrading here in Florida as well. The dude told me that they're upgrading because they're going to start offering VoIP. I got a nice new modem too.

Comcast is a good net source for sure. I am 95% happy w/ them. The 5% is for not just letting me install it myself and having the cable guy fry my gaming machine but I think they have fixed it now. I think you can go into a best buy and but a comcast box or something.

The service goes out pretty often here. It's really fucking annoying.

Damn. In 11 months it has gone out 2x so far. Which is acceptable.

That's not bad at all, I'd say in the last 11 months it's gone out 10 or 15 times...sometimes for days at a time.

Yeah, I have Comcast and have been wondering why the hell I've been getting 700 Kb downloads. No complaints here...
EDIT: Now that I think about it I've always gotten around 500 Kb dl's but my connection goes down all the freakin time. Anyone else with Comcast notice this?

BTW broadbandreports has a good Comcast forum where you can get info on upgrades, downtime, speed tweaks etc.
