Internet speed test
Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Just so we can see where everyone is these days take this speed test and post your results and the type of provider.
I live in kind of a remote spot and just have normal comcast cable, (not xfinity yet) so my speed is probably on the slow-adequate side of things. I would like to see what the Fios and xfinity and other providers are doing.
I get 33 Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload (comcast cable (normal) Martha's Vineyard)

Comcast/Xfinity, normal (not business). Not sure what you mean by Xfinity offering different, that is just Comcast's new branding name "Xfinity".
Looks the Vineyard gets same as mainland...

I've got 20.81 and 3.20, seems like something is wrong here (maybe they limit the bandwidth available in Easton and Mansfield  ) I noticed after having the power supply replaced and installing a adobe update I now have to wait almost 2 minutes after clicking turn off computer in lower right corner before the next box appears that allows me to chose standby/ shut down/ restart, 2 minutes  which used to be not even 10 seconds  . I am so sick and tired of sites having the ability to hinder my computers performance through cookies or whatever other spy ware type BS causing a loss in productivity. I don't know what to do and will probably spend money to have it looked at because I am going crazy waiting to shut my computer off or put it on standby....2 minutes is too long to wait to put it on standby, any help appreciated. |

a no fios area i presume jake
sometimes you can switch (reverse)the order of preferred servers
so that the Back up server is first and the normal server is last
so your on the LESS busy server and gain speed that way

we pay 60 also
we upgraded the tv package recently and they were supposed to raise our speed to the next level
it was 25/25 so it should be either 30 or 35 now
not sure why I don't even get much past 20
maybe it's the time of day or something, or the wires suck

Go to your verizon homepage and sign in. Then search for the speed optimizer, and run it. Then check your speeds. Keep in mind that none of the speedtest sites are 100% accurate. You can also access your routers home page and it will tell you the ping speed... |

Another bit of useful info for the test: hard wired or wireless?
I tested hard wired 3-4x throughout day with little change on Comcast 33U/6.5D.
Figured I'd test the UMass Boston feed, wireless connection:
Ping 24ms, Download 24.7, Upload 22.8
Pretty damn fast! Early morning so no one here using. I'll post test of this same computer via wireless on my home network later today.

PRbuzz,
With regard to the "branding" I went up to the comcast office here to swap out a couple of remotes and while I was there I asked about my plan (tv/3phonelines/internet) to see if what I had was current and makes sense and asked about getting xfinity for some of the dvr features. She said it is not available on the island yet, that it requires an upgrade to some systems here and and that will not take place until mid-late April. I asked her what it means in terms of added features, and one of the added features she said will be "much higher Internet speeds", among other interactive features and a total redesign of on-demand stuff. I asked when...late April.
According to her it is more than re-branding but if you ask me it looks an incremental upgrade and they are re-packaging it under a new name.
