Comcast High-Speed IS Really Fast

Lately I’ve started seeing some pretty impressive download speeds from Comcast. For example, it took me less than 4 minutes to download VMWare Fusion:

That’s 1.2MB/sec which is pretty damn speedy if you ask me. Ironically, at the office the best I can get is 300KB/sec. Going the other direction, I’ve found that upload speeds are topping out at 150KB/sec where about two or three months ago it was peaking at 34KB/sec. Dunno if I’m all too anxious for Verizon FiOS to come to town now. Now if only Comcast could improve their DNS response times, then we’d be all set :)
