I pay $77 a month for JUST my internet connection. I don't even have cable TV OR phone service with Comcast. JUST INTERNET. So I'm definitely getting what I've paid for don't you think?
What you have is decent, don't get that wrong. I would have killed freakin' 6 years ago when I was living with my parents for that speed. They have it now, but then I was lucky if it were 1 Mbit/s down and 140 Kbit/s up. >.> Now I get what I pay for. And that's just the result from here. I've seen my connection average out to around 22 Mbit/s down and 3.5 Mbit/s up. That's where I usually are in my connection. For some reason though this place didn't test as well. I usually use
www.dslreports.com and connect to the speak easy server for the DL/UP test. Flash 8 version. Works nicely. Saw my connection spike one time to 35 Mbit/s down and 11 Mbit/s up (BUT ONLY A SPIKE). Comcast is supposedly upping their connection stuffs to 50 Mbit/s down max (unsure of the up) and the 16 Mbit/s down subscribers like myself are going to get 25 Mbit/s down and 4 Mbit/s up for sure (at no extra charge, that's the connection that costs the same as what I'm paying now, can't wait!
).
