Hey Head-Case, what's your bandwidth like?

I have gigabit. I'm waiting until I can afford a laptop that can handle gigabit wireless, then I'll get some bad-ass router to serve it up, all so I can win the thread.

All this overtime has got to be good for something, right? Oh, wait, all the overtime is to pay bills? *sigh* Oh well.

EPB Fiber Optics serves up 100Mbit for 57.99$, or 1Gbit for 69.99$/mo (no taxes/extra fees). No cap, just a dumb pipe.

OK, I think I must've been downloading something in the background.

That's probably getting close to a hardware limitation on a 2.5 year old laptop that won't even support my 5GHz network.

**BRENT**

Oooh. Looks like that's a free upgrade from Blast! to Extreme! (for existing Double / Triple play customers )

Although Others have said you can get the same deal ( for non double / triple play customers )

Do you have a Docsis 3.0 Modem (as I guess they get the speed by binding two channels ?) 

 

Breach your 300GB Cap even faster!

Looks like Comcast has rolled out their upgrade here. Was perusing DSL forums that seemed to indicate they would remote reboot your cable modem at some point. or you could just reboot it yourself. so I did, using http://192.168.100.1/cmConfig.htm maybe able to use this  for your own (see if http://192.168.100.1/index.htm works for you - and you have a SB modem) 

 

Rebooted, and voila!
