and have always had good performance.

Sorry ... I checked and there's no way to turn on EDITS after Gloria's 60 minute restriction, just for a specific forum...

Comcast does OK.

Both you guys with Comcast get great performance ...

Is it cable or DSL? Do you mind me asking what you pay for this level of service?

Thanks ...

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

And that's with comcast.

Hi John ...

If you're paying Comcast for the same level of service the other guys using them are and they're getting almost twice the performance, you should give customer service a call and have a serious chat ..

.....

That is great UP performance though, as it's normally throttled low so people don't operate servers from their homes.

Badger,

It's cable but in an old neighborhood with old wiring. We are told they are upgrading the lines (probably lying to us

). The new speed increase was supposed to be in effect two weeks ago but I haven't rebooted the cable modem since then. I'll do that shortly and post back. I have three computers on the router so I'll shut the others down and try again. Cost combined with and HDTV digital cable hookup is about $105 a month.

That's pretty darn good ...

We pay well over $220/month for our Bell ExpressVu Satellite TV (similar to Direct TV in U.S.) and DSL (supposedly 8 megabit/sec) high speed Internet service.

They may be upgrading from "copper" to "optical" on your cable, which is what they did in our old neighborhood when we used cable TV Internet access and the speed did get better.

Badger

*Can't sustain this consistently, much lower average from three other attemps is about 6300 download. Maybe they did upgrade the wire but it looks the same outside to me. We are allegedly on the "end" of their lines, at least that's the excuse they always give us and optical transition is supposed to be in the works. We'll be the last to get it. However, I'm not complaining, the service has been very good for years.

I know I can get better late at night when the networks aren't as clogged such as on a Saturday afternoon.

A little better with some tweaking:

**CTMC(ret)** · 04-10-2009 07:21 PM

N.O. - 7140/2840
ATL - 6990/2510
Tallahassee - 4830/2480 (some off-the-wall ISP providing the speedtest!)

I connect through Atlanta and I'm satisfied with the numbers, what with 3 pc's connected and a/v and firewall up and running and - and music streaming...

(Middle tier internet service)

I am on dial up with the same dial up ISP that I started with about 8 or 9 yrs. ago,Kmart's "My Bluelight",it's up to $9 a mth. now,is a fast server anything like a fast woman?,if it is,I probably couldn't handle it anyway,I don't play videos,only a few times when some one posts one on the forum that I would be curious to watch. What's going to be the result of the new digital conversion thingy if it ever takes place?,will (cable) dial up get faster?I've had Comcast cable tv for yrs.,personally I think they want too much $'s for Internet service,have had Basic plus one step up tv for years,it's up to 5x's the cost it started out at and less programs,now what was the question?,yeah,am I getting the speed I'm paying for?,don't know,but a faster server would just allow me to make mistakes faster anyway.
