How to Tell Comcast Connection Speed
Comcast, like most broadband ISPs, provides different download and upload connection speeds for users. Download speeds are considerably faster than upload speeds. Most residential users download far more data than they upload, and ISPs allocate bandwidth accordingly. Other factors also affect your connection speed at a given moment, including type of subscription and the number of other users online. When you use web-based tools to test the speed of your Comcast connection, download and upload speeds are tested and reported separately.
