Where do you live?

I'm in southeastern ohio porshe in the sardis, hannibal ohio area.  Have you been transitioned yet?  My speed is much more consistent since the changeover. 

where are you located?  In Ohio the speeds are 5mb down 512 up and 8mb down 512 up. 

Same here porsche6714. Aggravates me to think that T.W.C. won't be rolling out the Extreme tier of 16Mbps\2Mbps in our area, so I guess I'll have to wait for FiOS.

On another note I seen a speedtest from 14227 (Sloan\Cheektowaga) and I wonder if that's true or someone just Bullsh~~~~~ and entered that zip incorrectly.

Hope it works out well Crazy Naru, best wishes with it. 

I havent really seen any new info from TW sice they took over in the Summer.  Here in Buffalo NY, they're still saying 4/384 and 6/768.  We dont have verizon fios though. 

I'm in NE CT, and we're in the middle of the Adelphia to Comcast changeover. My download speed has dropped from around 4000Kbps to an average of 1400Kbps in the past couple of months. I'm getting tired of calling and getting shuffled back and forth between both companies tech support, often being hung up on multiple times during transfers.I've tried all of the tips I have found here, and my speed stays right where it is, and it's slowly getting worse. My last discussion with an Adelphia tech ended with him admitting that my speeds were slow, but that they didn't guarantee their advertised speeds, before being transferred back to Comcast, then hung up on one more time.

I spent a couple of hours doing the Comdephia shuffle before giving up... Here's the log.

Called tech support... on hold waiting for tech 10 mins... their end hung up.
Called tech support again... on hold waiting for tech 10 mins... their end hung up.
Called tech support again... on hold waiting for tech 10 mins... their end hung up.

Mark from Comcast answers. They have trouble finding my Adelphia account... on hold for 15 minutes. I'm finally transferred to an Adelphia tech, who tests my modem, admits that the speeds are very slow, but they don't guarantee advertised speeds. He transfers me back to a Comcast tech, who also tested my connection speed, and told me that they're slow (gosh golly... no kidding dude!), and suggests sending out a technician to check the outside wiring. He then takes my modem's MAC ID, puts me on hold, and hangs up after about ten minutes. At this point, I gave up.

I'll call another 2 times over the next month, taking as many details as possible, then report Comcast to the BBB for false advertising and horrible customer support. Then I think it'll be time to check out DSL services since I'm getting slower than DSL speeds now, but paying cable rates. To add insult to injury, I just received a letter informing me of Comcast's rate increases starting next month. Seems that maybe we should send a squad of pickpockets to Washington DC to try and rescue our elected representatives out of the communication companies pockets. We need these monopolies broken up, and allow multiple cable companies to do business in the same areas.
