My internet speed had deteriorated. In speed tests over the net, I was showing upload speed of 367kbs and a download speed of about 300kbs. I got on the line with Comcast and they couldn’t resolve my problem. They suggested I take my modem to a Comcast store and get a new one.
This morning I did just that. I hooked up the new modem, but I couldn’t talk to it. My PC thought the network cable was not connects, when it was.
Again, I queried Comcast’s tech support. Again without success. Her final words to me were to uninstall my network card in Windows and then re-install it. I didn’t have my XP CD handy.
Later tonight, I decided to try it, but couldn’t figure out how to uninstall the network card.
That’s when I pulled out the USB cable. I simply followed the on-screen instructions and installed the modem to my USB port.
It worked! Then I went online and did a speed test. Now I’m showing 3,467kbs download speed and 367kbs upload speed.
How sweet it is!
