I didn't have the best signal at the time.
The ping's a bit cut off, but it was somewhere in the 400's.
And for some reason, it wanted to do the test nowhere near Arizona.
Oh, and another thing.
The average flash FPS for Speedtest was about 10 FPS.
So there's no way it'd give accurate results.

lol 60 bucks a month can get you 8mbit on cable usually.
thats alot better then the 1-2mbit that DSL can maybe give you for the same price. thats like the new dial up.
even 8mbit is a minimum i would say.
Lil Robot:
Ran the test again..

Drop, if there's one thing I've learned from Comcast Broadband, it's not what it is. You're better off with someone else. Comcast broadband always gets fancy results in speed test but will never achieve even 1 mb/s.
I suggest Verizon FiOs, if they're not in the area yet then go for another broadband company.
Comcast always has given us bullstuff. "Lalala this lalala that" and expensive bills for internet that sucks.
Not to mention they actually tried to limit BitTorrent users :/

It's actually that. Yesterday I downloaded about 4 gigabytes of stock footage, and it didn't take long to download.
Comcast just sucks in certain areas, though. I used to live in some stuff part of the county, and Comcast was absolute stuff there. .50Mb/s, internet wouldn't work on weekends, etc. Now I live in an area with people that can actually afford things like internet, so I guess Comcast decided to focus on neighborhoods with more of a chance of people getting their internet.
