Upgraded to Comcast Blast

As I mentioned a few days ago Comcast said they would upgrade me to Blast by the 29th of Feb.

A Picture says a thousand words:

Before

After

 

note: at first I didn't see this upload speed. It turned out that the Gamerfuel setting on my D-Link DGL-4100 was restricting my upload speed. I fixed that by manually setting my upload speed:

It's nice to see San Jose is finally starting to get high speed broadband.

I've had these kinds of speeds for a while with Comcast, I think. Go Seattle!

24330 down, 1710 up

Nice to see FIOS and U-Verse scaring the cable guys into upgrading. The only question now is how fast you will hit the monthly bit-cap with all this speed.

Here, near Seattle, I get 29127 / 1577 from Comcast without ever hearing about or needing to sign up for Blast.

How did you find out about your D-Link Settings?
I performed the same test and got over 30000 kb/s!
not sure if my tests are accurate. how can this be?
I only have Comcast's 8mb/s package.

I'm in San Francisco and upgraded to Comcast Blast. I get about 25Mbps down and almost 9Mbps upload using a standard Linksys WRT54G.
