One more thing, if you own your cable modem and it is "old," downloads might improve if you buy a new one. I don't want to get too technical, but Comcast supports DOCSIS 3.0. I have Comcast and I own my own cable modem. A few months ago, I replaced an older cable modem (which supported DOCSIS 2.0) with a new one (which supports DOCSIS 3.0). The improvement in download speeds is noticeable and dramatic.
I'm not very computer savvy. How do you know what your cable modem supports? The only thing I see on my modem is SBG900.
