Performance Internet speed? 60 Mbps vs. 100 Mbps

Thanks for your enthusiasm. I'm pretty sure I'm OK with my equipment and my cable hookup.

I will wait a few days to see if I get the speed bump when others in my area start to report it.

If I don't you can be sure I will come back here again.

No!

But I just found this:

Comcast announces boost in download speeds in several Internet packages for PA subscribers

According to this article, which was posted today, these speed bumps apply to the northeast, which they describe as Virginia to Maine.

Assuming this is accurate maybe I (and everyone else in the northeast region) should see the speed bump sometime soon.

Is your modem from Comcast, or do you have your own? They said if it's from Comcast, it should get it automatically. If it's your own, you'll have to reboot the modem to get it (unplug it for 5 minutes and plug back in).

I would try rebooting weekly until you see it.

Yeah, that's what I expect.

Modem is Comcast's, for now.    It's in bridge mode, WiFi disabled.

Router is mine.

I will reboot both if I don't see any increase in a couple of days.

Thanks.

I have Performance Internet for which I am paying $61.95 per month. I am located in Baltimore County , MD.

 

I was popping around in My Account looking at different things and I noticed in the Manage Your Plan section under Internet it shows:  Download speeds up to 100 Mbps

 

This is interesting because my most recent bill and my next one show:  Download as fast as 60 Mbps

 

So I ran a speed test (DSLReports and a couple of others) and I got a consistent 71 Mbps which is what I've been getting since the speed 'bump' Comcast gave us a few months ago.

We have the Performance plan in Baltimore County, MD.

Sometime yesterday Comcast pushed out our speed bump from 60 Mbps to 100 Mbps.

Before we were getting a consistent 71 Mbps download and 5 - 6 Mbps upload which is what we've been getting since the last speed 'bump' Comcast gave us a few months ago.

Now we are getting a consistent 120 Mbps download and 6 - 7 Mbps upload. 

We have Comcast's modem/router (with WiFi disabled) and my own router. I did not have to do anything with the modem nor the router.

Do you have it in full bridge mode or just have the WiFi radio disabled ?

O/k, thanks for replying !
