comcast's upload speed is restricted to 30kb/s that sucks
 

is there anything I can do to make it go faster? does anyone have any tips or do i have to call comcast and pay more money to get faster upload speeds?

yes that does suck, optimum online is capped at around 100kb/sec up

unlimited down

comcast sucks donkey dick maybe you can get a dual cable line or something of that sort i know they use to offer such packages

there was a time it was actually at 60-90kb/s until they capped my ass.. i even called them and told them i need my shit uncapped for business purposes but no luck .. comcast sucks

yeah, WOW's upstream is about 35KB/s my downlaod is like 5-6 mbit though

Get the pro service, $95 a month static ip's and i get 768k upload ( i usually get more) and 6 megs down

That's well worth it.

Just pay for the business service.

I have a 'broadband' satellite because there's no real broadband in my area and the bastards cap my bandwidth down to NOTHING after I have 22 TCP connections open :Oh crap I'm talking 0.08kb/sec upstream!

I have a second house I am getting cable at on Saturday. I can't take this anymore :mad:

I use comcast. Not sure what plan I'm on. Just tested my upload. 308 Kbps.

cable companies love to give u shitty upload

Comcasts business service has been very good to us, since were in a industrial building and not many people use it in the building we get blazing speeds. I guess it also helps that our hosting company is in the same Datacenter that comcasts infrastructure is in.

Well, there is a specific reason for that. Cable shares the line with your surrounding neighbors so if some dickweed runs a server or something then everyone is slow....with all the P2P stuff going on its especially important...

...For those that want good downstream AND upstream....DSL is the only way to go for the home user. Right now Qwest DSL in Seattle is offering 5Mbps upstream and downstream for 50 bucks a month. So thats about 400KBps up and down

ONe of the tradeoffs between cable and DSL. Sure cable is faster on the download side. But when it comes to uploads ive almost always gotten the stated 200-300 K. On cable I never got above 100 and hardly ever got that..... Usually between 50 and 75 K. Ill take my DSL. Mainly cause its the only broadband here other than satelite.

bleh, i have comcast, my upload is 128kbps. they raised that for me when they raised my download speed.

we dealt with that same shit for like two years. It sucked major ass. If you live in an area that is flat, you may be able to find someone that offers radio. I have it, and it is kick ass. I have up 1mbps and down about 4. The area I live in has hills, but not trees on the hills. So the antenna is about 10 feet, and on top of my house. We pay 90$ a month, and have 5 static ip's. And get fet 15 more.

seems like a good deal

DSL sucks.

Yep..only way to go! :thumbsup

Mine right now with kids playing Xboxlive at the same time shows 4.726 megs down and 683kb up

yep.. nice speed :) :pimp

Oh horse shit.

You and I have the same opinion a lot. Every jerkoff that gives me that DSL is better line has internet much slower than my cable.

DSL isn't an option for me because I'm so far away from the nearest central office (18,000 feet) that without repeaters the connectivity would be terrible. My brother had qwest dsl and could never get decent speeds and he was very near the hub.

Thank you for all the information in this thread. Looks like I will have to weigh my options carefully and of course spend more money.

You could be next door and DSL would still suck. :1orglaugh

Comcast cable is ok. I am waiting on Verizon FIOS, there getting setup now in other parts of portland.

15 meg down and 2 meg up for $49.00 per month :)

We have cable at home and in our warehouse.

home, 6/384 $62.00 (no cable tv, dish)

Work, biz rates, 7/512, 160.00 per month. Pretty dang solid

DSL sucks donkey balls.

I run 2 bonded DSL which gives me about 2mbit going out and about 6-8mbit (depending in line sync speeds) coming in. I'm probably going to pick up a few more DSL lines and bond those as well

i love uploading at 160KB/sec! :)
