I am in the NorthWest and we all have to use Comcast to do broadband cable so I have used them faithfully for many years. The issue of late is this. The work link which is SMOKIN FAST as you see from my test speeds is not so smokin fast sometimes. This happens at random but mostly in the 9am or 5pm time frame.

I have had them out they replaced the line to the building and I have to say that both testmy.net and Speakeasy test this link as REAL REAL fast so then why am I haveing slowdown times?

Is anyone else expiriencing (sp) this too? If so what region are you in? if not what region are you in? I am looking for Comcasters like me so sorry to you guys with good cable companies but your input is begged also. I need a group mind on this.

Thanks for the forum!

James
