    I've had that before, rather odd bug, especially because the actual download speed was merely 26kb/s when I read the peak :p

    You do know you could have just taken a screenshot of it in Windows right? I mean do people seriously take photos of their monitors nowadays?

    Tip: Press the print screen button (usually labeled PrtScn) located above the Insert key. After that open up MS Paint and press Control+V. There you go, you've now taken a screenshot of your desktop.

    It's an incredibly dumb thing to do. It's like the people that take photos of their phone screen because they're too oblivious to know that their phone can take a screenshot by itself.

    What if they have one of those phones from the 00s that are flip phones that have antennas and have a slide keyboard and a stylus touchscreen.

    I don't remember any of the phones with extendable antennas actually having an increase in signal with the antenna up.

    Always thought it was for show, a showoff type thing

    my old samsung captivate (android smartphone) couldn't take screenshots by itself (at least not without a third party app) there are still many other phones and smartphones that can't take screenshots without a 3rd party app (or taking a picture of it if it's one of those non smart phone thingy's)

    we pay for 30/5...never once got 30 down... gaming online is incredibly laggy (my friend with 2down and 1 up gets better connection to games than i do, we live 5 minutes away from each-other)

    @Above wow, that really sucks, I've had no problems with my 25/5 performance plan from comcast/xfinity (i usually get 30/5.92 in real world usage however) also, 30/5? i just looked it up on the comcast website, that plan does not exist.

    Test from today (atm, i usually don't get these speeds, because my wifi adapter is dying (and yes, i am certain it's my adapter, as everything else gets the real world usage speeds i talked about)):

    huh, just looked and youre right...i thought i looked up what speeds we were supposed to be getting and i found 30/5...then again that was like 3 years ago and i have a crappy memory :p...oh well...i guess in that case we get the speeds we should be getting, and downloading works fine, but gaming is horrid

    However, at home I have to be patient with 80 kb/s down, and 15 up.
