So tonight, a thread on an email alias at work had me do a speed test on my cable modem. I used the speed test at Speakeasy Networks (my former ISP whom I had to give up because I moved to an area they didn't service). I was a bit surprised. 14729kbps down and 1562kbps up. Wow. Almost 15Mbps/1.5Mbps. This is about twice what I was getting a month ago.

My suspicion is that since Verizon is on the verge of digging up our neighborhood for FIOS, this is Comcast's answer - boost their speed.

While I love the speed, we'll see if the infrastructure stays any more stable. That's been my biggest gripe with Comcast. The intermittent service interruptions....
