Default Comcast issue?
Sounds like Comcast had an issue.

To answer a few questions here:
  • Download is always faster than Upload by a factor…in the area of 4-6 times?
  • Wired is usually quite a bit faster than Wireless.

Sitting here in Connecticut on AT&T DSL getting :
  • Wired Download – 1209 KBPS & Upload 232 KBMS
  • Wireless Download – 128 KBPS & Upload 31 KBMS - quite a difference

I work Tech Support for a large corporation with a good number of work-at-Home employees using VOIP phone service (like Vonage) and they have to have 52 KBPS Upload or greater to use thee VOIP phones without issue. We contract with ISP’s for a service much faster than this.

Good luck.
