Re: Start Up Page Slow To Load on Comcast
Hi, JS, that's a great site that I'll use when I think the rain is messing
up my cable (at least the TV gets funny). But in nice weather, I keep
getting download speeds in the range of 20-25,000 kbps. Unless I'm missing
something, doesn't that translate to about 20-25 Mbps? I'm using Comcast
and expect ~6 as you say. Does this reflect the "PowerBoost" they brag
about at the start of a file? That's supposed to be for only the first 10
MB, or 80 Mb, which should take 3-4 sec, and the test runs around 12-15
sec.
