    I'm formally on 4Mbps Comcast cable, but after some tweaking, I'm getting ~15Mbps on average.
    This below is my best result, so far:

    Definitely not the fastest service available, but for what I'm able to afford it's alot better than the dial-up I had previously! :D

    Notionally 'Up to 8 Mbps', but this is fast enough for me - I can't think any faster anyway :)

    Just gotta love speed tests. Who is telling the truth:eek:

    8913/1024
    10,267/1032
    5883/962

    Going to my usual msn-cnn test site shows 6375 down.

    Comcast Cable

    recorded 4 mb on survey but in actuality runs between 2.5 and 4 MBs .

    Most of the time is on the slower side. I think I pay comcast to much for their service. :(

    Today I get 2 different results one after the other depending on which server I use. Faster one is from Clifton, NJ

    http://www.speedtest.net/result/294438377.png


    Slower from New York City which speed test recommends as the server to use.
    http://www.speedtest.net/result/294439518.png.

    I live just outside of Philadelphia.

    In either case these are pretty good speeds for Comcast - the lower one is the max they tell me I will get.
    Why the huge difference?

    I do have one question. Where does ping rate play a role in speed? My ping is always over 200ms but I noticed many of you have a ping under 100ms
