some have said going with the comcast business account has no 250gb limit. i'm on FiOS right now, but i'm moving into a new house soon and i need something comparable to my 25/25 and was hoping for the extreme 50 or 105, but with a 250gb limit f' that. i cant get FiOS in the new house :( comcast's website says business account isnt available for the address i put in. seriously why the hell does comcast not have a residential premium account with no limit? thats just retarded.
@Munky332 They're protecting their precious TV revenues. That's the long and short of why they have caps. The business account shouldn't be a problem; call them and ask about getting one. It's more money per month, there may be a contract, and there may be an install charge; how can comcast lose? They'd be stupid to not sign you up for it.
× Get your own docsis 3.0 modem instead of paying comcast $7.00 for a docsis 2.0 rental a month. And u be surprise how fast owned 3.0 modem. Remember comcast controls ur speed if u pay more u get more. Mine goes up to 89.99mb on my laptop. And i only signed up for 12mb. - the cable guy.
@TheDROIDXtreme I have a TM702G EMTA, which is D3. I could go to Best Buy and buy one (a 722G, actually) for $150, but that's a pretty steep price to pay considering that Comcast will replace this one if it conks out.
@Moffetts I was doing the same thing but they called me and told me if i go over again the cancel my service and I will be banned from comcast for 1 year. Anyway whats the benefit of having this much download speed when u cant download. stupid comcast!
@misaghk I got the service in November of 2009 and have gone over every single month (save one) since then, and actually did 750GB two months ago. Their system for who gets busted and who doesn't isn't fully understood, but I think I know my limitations.
@KayVC89 The fiber doesn't get anywhere near your house. The last mile is primarily hardline coax. If you can get DSL service and you're running off of a remote terminal rather than a CO, the fiber that feeds the RT will be closer to your house than Comcast's is. Someday, cablecos will have to go FTTH. Not now and not in the forseeable future, though.
@nick0912nascar Historically, the first few months of channel bonding have uncapped download speeds, hende the 100+ mbps results. Once the service has been fully deployed in a given area, the speeds for each tier are capped, though there are a few odd cases of 12/2 customers routinely powerboosting to 90+ down. My results are very typical, though.
I just upgraded tonight, getting no where near those speeds. Will call them in the morning, something must be screwed up. I get up to 60mb bursts (speedboost), but end up getting around 11-13mb average on a 100mb file.
Your U/L speed is faster than my D/L speed lmao. That is ridiculous, I can't wait until I'm out of the military and get this service....Price tag nothing, that's what roommates are for ^_^
i have the same service inChicago and i too get the same d/l and u/l speeds and i love the service can't complain yet the only thing i hate is the 250 gb cap these as@holes have going on i've went over for the last three months and my account is still in good standings i really hope that Comcast does something fast about their caps because it is pointless to offer these speeds if u can't really use them to the full potential but so far no warnings from the big man yet Thanks your friend CHICAGO
Nice that's super fast, what program you using in the video to test the speed I have lime wire I want to download a lot of movies from it but it takes a long time. I have Comcast Performance Downloads up to 15Mbps, will it better to get Comcast Extreme 50 Downloads up to 50Mbps please tell me.
wow thats f'n fast. i get 5.14 mb with ATT over here in san jose. im guessing ur paying 100 plus per month for your com service? whats the avergae Download speed you get per sec?? im getting 616 kb/s max
@TurtLePimpin It's 100 per month plus EMTA rental, so I think it's 104.95. I can sustain 6500 kilobytes per second download and 1200 kilobytes per second upload. I used to have 6mb DSL like you do and I had similar speeds. It was nice because there were no caps and obviously it's a lot cheaper than this Comcast thing is.
Have you tried a sustained download? like a 600 meg file from the web (non p2p)? does it hold the 50mbps (or somewhere close to it) throughout the entire download?

As soon as it's avaliable here i'm running 100mb CAN'T wait. Nobody will touch that. Fiber to the side of my house is awesome.

I can sustain 6.2-6.5 megabytes per second downloads as long as the source can push that kind of speed.
