Tested the bandwidth almost two years ago. I wanted to see if the numbers still held up.

They've gotten better. 2x better on the download (12605 kb/s vs 6166 kb/s). 4x better on the upload (1450 kb/s vs 351 kb/s). I've not changed my service. Good for comcast. The only thing I really use the upload for is ftp, accessing my music, photo's, media, etc. from remote pc's. Been running FileZilla for the server as well as using the client. No complaints. Although my server is constantly trying to be hacked. From the logs:

I don't think there is really anything I can do about it.
