Speakeasy - Speed Test.
Preparing for Comcast visit today. Speeds are FAST, but I get dropped from Skype calls and USTREAM.TV broadcasts.
I hope my direct modem line gets reconnected. Followers of this blog know that Comcast cut my line last year and refused to reconnect it.
I am currently on a three-way splitter. That makes me loose internet juice.
Steve,
ReplyDeleteI had trouble with Comcast for quite a while, even though I was getting good "speed test" numbers like you are. However, after further testing, I realized that the line had these speeds only on average.
Because I was specifically having Skype issues, I found this VOIP Speed Test that told the truth: There were big gaps of extremely low speed interspersed within the high-speed flow.
My solution? Switch to DSL. It is slower overall, but it is far more consistent. I can now reliably videoconference and stream video. It just takes a little longer to download things.
