I get a pretty consistent 1722 kbps downstream and 272 kbps upstream using Comcast Atlanta (nee ATT Broadband Cable) on This Test Site .

Interested in what other freepers are getting....

[Numbers Guy]

Also Comcast nee AT&T

1715, 191 . . . not quite as good as yours, but I'm not complaining.

[Schakaljager]

2010 kbps downstream & 375 kbps upstream using Earthlink Cable connection via Time Warner Cable. Not bad at all.

I have Cox cable and I've seen a 840Kb/s speed one time, usually it's in the 300-400kb/s range.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

I am surprised CNET would title an article this way. DSL is steady, cable varies. They should know that.

[Pro-Bush]

Comcast Sacto = 1722 kbps downstream and 272 upstream

1594/170 with Charter. And this is peak time right now...I live in a student neighborhood where a lot of people have broadband.

My 56K modem is faster than my parent's cable modem. Strange, but true.

1730/241 with AT&T Broadband in Sacramento. Comcast just bought AT&T's Northern California operation and that change of ownership takes effect next month. So we'll see if it changes our speed as well. A couple of years ago, Comcast used to own this area and we got up to 5Mbps down. Be nice to get that again, but I doubt we'll ever see that again. Not at $50/mo.

I'm at work with a T3 line. It tested at 656/461.

[WSGilcrest]

782/384kbps Earthlink DSL (in safe mode) Used to get about 1300+ down before I had them reprovision me. Got some line noise and I couldn't keep a hook at that speed.

[Consort]

My speed:

[WSGilcrest]

p.s. Read an article on this forum a while back about S. Korea. The whole freakin' country's fiber. They're gettin' ten times the speed for $30/month

[dwswager]

3 years now with Mindspring (Earthlink) DSL, 1500/368 service. I average about 1100/314. I Live faily close to the CO so my service is pretty good and since I got it long ago it is on a second line as opposed to the G-Lite used now on the same pair as your phone service. I orginally wanted Cable Modem service, but were Media One and our area was traded by Media One to Time Warner. This made our area Time Warner's red headed stepchild.

Using Cox.net I get 1823/227 from Eureka Ca. I'm surprised because it's carried by microwave from here to So Cal?. We have no fiber cable to the out side world due to a dispute between SBC and CalTrans over 23 moles of right of way near Willits. SBC has installed cable the rest of the way from Ukiah.except for the 23 mile section. SBC is working on upgrading local lines while the right of way dispute winds it's way through the courts. BUMMER for many business's and schools.

Here's what I got. I'm on Comcast Massachussets.

[Jeff Chandler]

548kbps downstream, 568kbps upstream using Qwest VDSL. Since I frequently upload many files, the upstream is more import to me than the downstream.

[Keith in Iowa]

711 Down - 205 Up on 768k DSL service. I'm happy with it.

[billbears]

Bump for later

[Psycho_Bunny]

If you need throughput; get cable - if latency is important; get DSL.
