OK, this evening I have been doing some experimenting. I started by
just using Speedtest again, as I did this morning, with everything
still running. The results were the same as this morning, e.g.:
down up
58.35 6.30
Then I shut down Ktorrent and ran Speedtest a few times more:
58.63 6.31
58.80 6.38
56.81 6.37
Then I shut down everything and restarted the computer. With Firefox as
the only thing running (Speedtest is web-based), the results were:
58.74 6.41
This leaves my desktop computer as the only other device that could be
using bandwidth, so I shut it down. The results were:
58.58 6.31
And then I restarted the desktop, opened Firefox, and used
Speedtest.net on the desktop. Same results:
58.54 6.25
Through all these tests I sometimes pointed Speedtest at different
servers, including even servers in Europe, but there was no appreciable
change in the performance.
And to repeat, I am paying Comcast for Performance-75 service, which is
supposed to give me 50-75 Mbps down and 25 Mbps up. And until a
couple weeks ago I used to see upload speeds of around 25 Mbps.
Any suggestions for what I should do next?
