    Only from selected sites, yeah? That's what I get to/from Comcast "approved" sites.

    "Regular" sites I only get 8000/1200 or thereabouts.

    I'm the least you could do

    I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
    If only life were as easy as you
    I would still get screwed

                I was testing out download speeds from various sites last night. From steam, I would start out at 3MB and then it would stabilize around 1.5-1.7MB.

                I tried download.com and it would hit about 1.1MB and stay there.

                  Not bad for the plain Comcast service... How much more do they charge for the "Blast"??

                      10 bucks! How are you getting 1.5Mb uploads? Around my parts it's only 384K!
