Shoutout to Comcast...
May 22, 2005 @ 10:11 AMThere are many things I do NOT like about Cable Internet. Hideous upstream speeds, dynamic IP addresses, unwillingness to allow “servers.” All of these things are available through better DSL-based services (specifically, in Seattle, Speakeasy.net offers great packages).
BUT, all that said, Comcast definitely deserves some credit. As my fellow Comcast Broadband subscribers can attest to (yo yo Squire), Comcast does it’s darnest to keep downstream speeds impressive. In the last year, my line has transparently been upgraded from 1.5 to 2, to 3, and recently to 4.0mpbs downstream. I just sustained 500kpbs over 10-15 minutes downloading a file.
I never thought I’d see the day where I would rather download a file at home than at work. :D
Go Comcast… go Comcast.. go go, go Comcast…
