Robert I think you are misstating what you are reading. Cable
usually has a high speed DOWNLOAD and a slower speed UPLOAD.
it is 768 down and 2?? up.
6 mps down and 4?? up.
16 mps down and ???up.
Down indicates how fast the connection is tor each from point a to
your end. The up indicates how fast it is from you to point a. (The
way Charter does it, my Cable modes MAC is registered with them and
they throttle the speed through signals sent to my modem.
DSL numbers would also reflect this difference.
Yes from the numbers you stated earlier you are getting better than
you pay for. A UNIQUE CONDITION in cable broad brand.
I pay for 5mps and get anywhere from 300kbs to 4600mps down from my provider.
By the way DSL will tell you will never share your connection (which
is correct) but read the sheets closely and what they don't say is
that your down speed will fall the farther from the switch you
get. So you can pay for 1.5mps and probably never get better than 1.2mps.
Hope I did not muddy the waters any.

You do realize Comcast sells 3 tiers...

High+Boost 16Gup
I have the BASIC and the numbers I cite exceed what they sold me so I cannot
fault that. But, they put a "brake" on the pole to keep it below the upper
tiers and behind them in priority. Where does one get a splitter with a low
impedance through channel such as you describe? Would there be a WiFi
solution to this that can reside behind my router? Can it "see" the cable
TV carried into the cable modem via the computer?
