also, make sure that you pick a good server on the speedtest.net site. for instance If i speed test from Tallahassee, FL to Tallahassee, FL it is not impressive. this is because the speed test server is slow in Tallahassee. But if I connect to say Atlanta, GA instead. I see a MUCH better speed test!

well doing a little math, it seems you are right on target.

20.72 megabits (Mb) = 2.59 megabytes (MB) you said you would get 2.5MB down

Im on comcastic as well, im satisfied with it. the speeds are good in Tallahassee, FL.

Well, 2.59 MB down is a rarity...more often than not it's a constant 1.5mb/s down. Occasionally I'll get the 2.5mb/s down. But rarely.

It's not just the speeds....for me the service really sucks, comcast could give a F**Kless. They hire really stupid employees and all they will do is "send a technician". I specifically tell them no, I do not want your level 1 idiots on my property. They still repeat the same nonsense.

Roadrunner has turbo that sometimes boosts your speed. (if you have that tier)
