Shocker - a positive Comcast comment

So I get a message from Comcast today about upload speeds being upped to 2MB. Now, if we had a little more competition, overall speeds might be better, but I decided to see what I was getting. So around dinner time I ran speakeasy's speed test. (both are Mega bit speeds)

Download: 15.4Mb/s sustained, 16.2 peak
Upload: 2.7Mb/s sustained, 3.2 peak.

Not too shabby. The download is also enhanced by their 'powerboost', where they up your download speed when you download big things. (when you think abotu it, it doesn't make much sense, but it seems to work) Try it yourself, and see what your own home speed is...
