When comcast bought the road runner accounts the service went from great to no service.They do vary over the day/month and at what times you are on. Most cable companies, and Comcast is the worse, cut back users bandwidth at certain times. They say no, but read their Terms and Policy info. My friend in Tennessee uses Comcast and they block usage of Firefox even!!!! He verified that for his area.
These tests are actually pretty useless now. I know a few ISP's in canada are actually giving speed bursts for the first ~15 seconds of a download, this will give you a falsified report from these scanners because your measuring the burst rate and not the average speed. I know Shaw does this in Canada, I believe Telus and bell might do it as well.Use SpeedTest.net once or twice a month to keep a running track of CableOne.net.
