Anyone else recently upgrade your cable modem and Internet plan for a BIG speed increase?

[QUOTE="SeikenFreak, post: 15684039, member: 122263"] Been using Comcrap here for TV for 30 ish years? And internet for almost 20? At the end it was supposed to be 200 down/12 up or something at $80 a month. Then I recently tried to swap to my own Arris modem, turned in the Comcast unit, they seemed to F everything up because that is what always happens, and then my internet was doing 30 down/6 up. That's the lower tier I used to have. I also have hated Comcast forever. Instead of calling up and trying to get them to fix it, about a month ago I saw FIOS was now offering Gigabit in my area for the same/less cost than my Comcast lower speeds AND could add Verizon digital voice (phone) as well (still had ancient old Verizon copper line service) thus saving at least $50 a month. Of course, I assume it's only temporary, but I did it anyway because F them. After some trial and error, this is where I'm sitting with FIOS Gigabit: [URL='http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/6569940454'][IMG]http://www.speedtest.net/result/6569940454.png[/IMG][/URL] Initially, my download would jump to 400 ish and immediately drop down to around 100, while upload would stay a pretty solid 400. Once I switched the ethernet port I was using on my PC from a supposed gigabit card to one of the onboard motherboard ports, it went up to 400/400. I haven't cared enough to dig deeper. I'm not sure if that is just the speed I can get in my area or if somehow this onboard network chip is still not legit Gigabit rated even though they all say they are. So yea thats $70/m for FIOS Gigabit and Phone. As for how Verizon is themselves, we'll see in time. [/QUOTE]
