Internet Speeds of the Future!

I am currently testing out Comcast's fastest internet packages and will be posting speed results here for you to compare with what you have. Check out SpeedTest.net to run a quick speedtest, post your results in the comments section with the following info about you ISP and connection.

At $50/month with a DOCSIS 3.0 Modem over cable I'm currently achieving the following speeds on their 50Mbps Package. Not BAD, considering I'm paying for less!

Hopefully when the new lines are run to the neighborhood and the upgrade takes effect I will be able to post faster speeds with their 100Mbps Package. Comcast has announced 200Mbps internet connections will be available Mid-2013 and with DOCSIS 4.0 technology hitting the market late-2013 they are hoping to unleash 300Mbps connections early 2014! Sure has come a long way since the days of 56Kbps modems and their wide ribbon cable interfaces. I was truly blown away after upgrading from 12Mbps on a DOCSIS 2.0 Modem to the 50Mbps on a DOCSIS 3.0 Modem, I can't imagine how quickly pages will load and how much more productive my time spent browsing, downloading, and uploading from the internet will be with speeds exceeding 300Mbps.
