Comcast Speed Upgrades.....Yet?

Why, thinking about jumping from Cox to Comcast. We have a

2,000,000,000 byte download limit for Usenet access at about 50KB sec xfer rate.

Just restarted my cable modem here in Dallas Texas. Symbol Rate 3.200 Msym/s :(

I'm on Comcast now!. Pay no attention to my return address. I used to be Cox.

I was just upgraded to 256 QAM but am not seeing a speed increase yet.

symbol rate is something different. it wont say the caps in most motorola modems. I think the linksys modems and possibly dlink say.

Ok after rebooting my cable modem I'm seeing a slight increase in speeds. Down doesn't seem much yet (2950, but it's been close to this for a while now) but uploads are definately at 384(or above 256 anyway) now.

Restarted my cable modem. Symbol Rate did not change 3.200 Msym/s Speed did improve.

picked Speakeasy for the test

In Baltimore, the higher speed has been here a few days. Had to reboot my modem first.

Huh. I'm in Columbia. Rebooted modem. Now getting about 1800/300. Never got less than about 2400 on the DL side before. I wonder what's up? Maybe local internet traffic.
