I'm on crapcast though so chances are I should be going faster.

Did I mention I really don't believe these tests at all. At that speed my websites should load at the blink of an eye.....they don't.

Gotta take hardware (on both ends) into account.

Yeah I hear ya, Crapcast is exceptionally bad in my area.....

I've had their service in 3 different cities, this is by far the worst. My modem and router are always new (under 6 months old) and they are always "fixing something" around here...nothing changes.

I really think small cities get the shaft big time in service. That and go figure we're ONE BLOCK from getting fiber optics.

Bill you need to verify that you have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem. that is a common issue with comcast users, they have the high class speed with the lack of local hardware that is EASY to change to.

But if I connect to say Atlanta, GA instead. I see a MUCH better speed test!

Eh that doesn't change my connection speed though Bryan, only makes the numbers higher. I could really care less about the numbers. I want results. Comcast plays the pick a city game with me all the time.

I haven't checked this one out fully but I'm 99% sure it is a DOCSIS 3.0.
