Comcast love

Post by XoR »

If you're on the fence whether to get Comcast or not, check this out. I got notice that they upgraded to DOCSIS 3.0 (data over cable) and all you have to do is unplug your cable modem and restart it and get a free kick in the pants.

I was playing games online last night testing and it's definitely noticeable, but the real difference is the ability to host bigger games and web services. I don't even have their fastest available plan, and check out these numbers I got from speedtest.net :
