I subscribe to Comcast "Premier" tier with 8000/768 speeds first of all. This was great for a while and usually gave me around 100k/s upload until a few months ago my upload would be capped at 50k. After several calls to Comcast "support" they couldn't help me and swore my connection as fine so I gave up a month or so ago.

Then this morning my upload is back to 100k and here is my Speedtest:



Notice the distance. I'm in Atlanta and it thinks I'm in England for some reason. Anybody know what happened? Either way I don't care since I finally got my upload speeds back. Also during this process my ISP Adelphia was taken over by Comcast 2 months ago but the upload problem started while still under Adelphia.
 
Interesting, I am in Atlanta and this site believes I am in the UK as well...

The ARIN information looks correct so I'm not sure why it's doing that...

mmmm Comcast... can you say EVIL! I have them because they are the only cable internet in my area. But i do have 6mb service and it is pretty nice... though some times somehow they cap me at like 500k... very strange....
