    Comcast cable
    Philadelphia area, Pennsylvania

    Download Speed: 4830kbps
    Upload Speed: 355kbps

    My upload speed seems rather low; it looks like other posters with Comcast service have the same though.

    Apparently Comcast really needs to work on their upload speeds.

    Here's a test from where I work (I'm guessing they have DSL):

    Download Speed: 2820 kbps (352.5 KB/sec transfer rate)
    Upload Speed: 286 kbps (35.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

    Pretty fast for a grocery store.

    :p
