On my laptop:
Ping = 34 ms
Download Speed = 1.17 Mbps
Upload Speed = 3.69 Mbps

Several minutes later on my desktop machine:
Ping = 21 ms
Download Speed = 0.23 Mbps
Upload Speed = 3.68 Mbps

for years.

I'll try that tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.

And that, too.

If those don't change anything I'll be in touch with Comcast and see 
what they see.

Thanks for the link.
