How Fast Is Comcast Blast? REALLY Fast.
| Share |
So the Comcast installer just left, and I'm sitting here in my new house, on the floor, with no furniture, testing how fast the internet actually is (because who really cares about other stuff?). Comcast Blast is supposed to be 16mbps down and 1mbps up (2 if you're extremely lucky). I'm still collecting my jaw all over the floor though, because these are the speed test results:
That's a 3 mbit per second upload = 375 KB/s. Wow, Comcast, just wow. I know there are many people having complaints about service but after being a customer for 8 years, I really am happy with everything. Blows the puny DSL away.

but that is with power boost, if you were able to test your steady speeds, you would be not as impressed…i hate power boost…misleading bullshit…unless you just download songs and pictures, but if it's video or games, you're boned
Yeah, that's with power boost. Without power boost it goes down to about 1.5MB/s (12mbps) down and 200KB/s (1600mbps) up, which is still quite good, if you ask me. I'm still quite happy with Comcast.
