this is my speed at 8:49pm Monday. I am more than happy with this speed. I guess there is no point in me getting the 3.0.
thanks for the input.
I'm paying $29.99/mo with Comcast using 3.0 and and have averaged 80/10. Under 2.0 I had your speed. Keep in mind as websites get more graphic intensive, you're going to wish you did upgrade.

so you are saying that I can downgrade my plan and upgrade my modem and end up with better speed for less cost? that's a proposition I would be interested in.
the way I took njbest's post was that it wouldn't help me with speed. but saving money is more important to me than speed anyway. so id love to downgrade the plan.

I don't think you have yet to tell us what speed you're paying for. If you're paying for 25Mb switching to a Docsis 3 will gain you nothing.
He may be getting a discount on a package, no way your going to get 80 down on the 25 package, Docsis 3 or no.
Anyone who has Comcast knows to call the 800# for promotional pricing every year. Do you really think there are people who actually pay "Menu Price"? I've never paid Menu Price in close to 20 yrs on Comcast. If I did I'd be paying over $300/mo instead of the $160 total I pay now (Internet, Cable (1000 channels, all movie channels, 3 DVRs, All HD, everything)). That included the modem/router/wireless they supply to me.
Maybe the OPs market is different, but I haven't seen 20/5 in a very long time and I live in a Rural county fwiw.

based on the price pruzhany said he is paying, it seemd to me like he is paying for the same 25 mbps but averaged 80/10 (which i took as 80mbps.
The only way a DOCSIS 3.0 modem will help you is if you were getting speeds lower than you were paying for due to congestion... or if you were on a higher tier of service.

That's just lovely, but we aren't discussing price, we're discussing speed.
