Comcast today increased the speed of my cable modem download from 1.5 Mbps to 3.0 Mbps at no charge.

It seems the Detroit area is one of 14 nationwide to get the enhancement.

Just ran a test on http://www.dslreports.com/stest to test it out:

Your download speed : 3014432 bps, or 3014 kbps.
A 367.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 224391 bps, or 224 kbps.




Mine came back 1686/281. Not bad for the boonies.
