Out here in Oregon, the tech Comcast uses provides fast download speeds, but uploads are quite slow due to how the technology is implemented for neighborhoods.

You can easily check your speeds by visiting URL "www dot speedtest dot net" with a Mac or Windows PC browser. If hardwired, performance should be better than the typical WiFi performance.

For the URL above, substitute "." for "dot" and eliminate the spaces. Type that into your favorite browser.

Thanks.

I get 250-300megs/20 megs solid with no variation day or night. As much as I have always despised ComCrap I am having no issues with them. Paying $126 for 220 TV pack and 250/20 internet and that includes $15 /mo for modem which I would not normally do but was the only way to avoid their 1TB/mo cap down here. I have 2 security cams that use 1TB++ alone so I needed their "no cap" service. which requires 250meg internet + their modem or else it was $50/mo EXTRA for no cap so it ended up cheaper this way. While Comcrap is the devil I had to sell my soul. Best Spectrum could offer here is 25meg DSL which rarely got me 10megs for the 9 days I tried it. They do have gig fiber in some areas but not here so Comcrap was my only option.

Offers vary but I think it was around $65 for 150 meg internet but if you take some useless basic TV package you can get a better price.
