  • 15,930 kbps down
    1,382 kbps up
    Comcast in Bow

This works out to better than 8 megabits per second. Curious… maybe they bumped the speeds, maybe there are other sources of measurement error. Either way, I'm content.





    Comcast in Milford, NH. DSL doesn't reach my neighborhood last I checked. Too far from a CO.
