Found out I could get a speed upgrade for 14 bucks more a month so here it is now ...



Still not the advertised peak.

EDIT: I'm curious, why are there such varying speeds between the Comcast speeds posted? Are those just different plans?

Yes, they offer different speed tiers and the price may be different in some areas from what you see below.

Economy: $24.95 for 768/384 kbps.
Performance: 12/2 Mbps for $42.95 a month.
Blast: 16/2 Mbps for $52.95 a month.
Ultra: 22/5 Mbps for $62.95 a month. (Will update to 30/5 Mbps.)
Extreme Fifty: 50/10 Mbps for $139.95

Ultra and Extreme require a DOCSIS 3.0 modem.

^^ Not all those are available in all areas either. Like my area, at this time, only has a max of the blast tier. They are talking about increasing it to 32/4 here with in the next couple of months without a price increase.

So I did a speed test and this is the result:
