Sorry for the caps but the order went in Feb 14, 2007! I hope I hold the record for longest Comcast install time, I’d hate to think anyone has had to wait longer than I have.

On the upside I’ve gotten in at DOCSIS 3.0 and my untuned network speedtest.net results through an Apple Airport Extreme router via 100mbit ethernet were 26Mbps!!!

With that level of performance I’m not sweating TCP tuning yet. :-)

A household with a router will probably either have decent performance or not, since the router does the talking over the broadband link. Still, interesting tip, thanks!
