Comcast is my ISP and my speed is normally great. Today it is deadly slow. I have ran some bandwidth tests and they are about 3-4 times slower than normal.

Anyone else notice a slowdown with Comcast?

:-k

I haven't tested it, but the connection seems fine here.

I have noticed it. Instead of taking 2 seconds to load this one web age it now takes 4-6 seconds. What is going on ?

service on comcast is notoriously sporadic, and depending on the area you live in for speed. Basically if a lot of users are on in your local area your speed will go done.

This is the main reason I switched to Verizon DSL. Service is more reliable and faster having a dedicated line into your house not dependant on your neighbors use.

I've seen a dip in access times for this webpage but that can be due to any number of things.
