Western WA. Comcast users, reboot that cable modem

Reboot, time to reboot, the new speed is here.
The 4K MB download kicked in last night.
Got an email from Drew from his work from a link on DSL Reports, and sure enough it is here.

Here are two tests of mine, old & new.
It should improve a bit too.

Old

Should I not be using WinMX while trying that test?
And what about going through a router?
Is it accurate? Or a split up connection?

to get the most accurate results, you should be doing 'nothing' while testing.. by this i mean network traffic.. winmx, transferring files, streaming media.. can it all, then test.

Guess this is all I get for $15 a month. There are two other computers on the router besides mine right now downloading, I wonder if that has anything to do with it being slower than the others.

Is there a way I can change my upload speed so I can D/L faster?
Seems you guys beat me in download and I win in upload, but download is more important to me.

nope, this is set by your ISP, nothing you can do about it.. ohwell, host a website with that upload bandwidth, will pay for your connection fees

What ISP are you guys using? Upload is kinda worthless to me.
