Now I Have 22kb/s Upload & You Can To

KingCobra · #1 16th Mar 03, 05:56 PM

F.Y.I.

Recently I seen my max upload speed seemed to be 13kb/s rather than the 15kb/s they say my cap is. I called and complained to my broadband cable company and asked if they could raise the cap on me a little so I can get the 15kb/s max. I really didn't think they would, but it was worth a try. It worked, they did! Now I'm getting between 21kb/s and 22.5kb/s.

Go ahead and try it with your ISP and post your results here. I'd love to hear what happens. Be ready to tell them what your uploading. For me, I said several digital family photos to www.Sutterfly.com

Well the person you get on the phone that says they are a tech really can't do anything about it. Well other than what I asked them to do and that was just note my account that I'm having a problem getting the 15kb/s and put my idea about moving the cap a little higher so I can rech the 15kb/s. Which it seems someone seen and took action.

Of course, I suppose this will only work if you are getting less than what's promised. Cool that it worked for you!

I have Comcast cable and I am supposed to be getting at least 500K upload, but I'm not getting it. I don't pay for it though. Whatever it is, we're getting half of what was promised though.

Download is a whopping 1.5 though.

-=edit=- Shite! Comcast is going to get their bawls broke. I just did a line speed test at Broadband Reports and they peeled back our top speed to ~768 K! We're paying for 1.5!! I recommend everybody should check periodically after finding this out! We just got this connection two months ago!
