Hi, I believe the two PCs are on an internal network....so they should be getting LAN speed. There is no way that the transfer is going all the way to the internet and back to the other PC unless you have 2 public IP addresses, which i believe is not the case with comcast. The two PC's should have 2 internal, non-routable IP addresses (192.168.x.x) or (10.0.x.x)
