I apologize I should have said it starts out about 3 meg max and slows to about 400kpbs for most of the transfer.

With a max bandwidth of 25 Mbps and a 40ms RTT, the max is more like 14MB/s or 1.75 Mbps.

But that's only if either endpoint is stuck at a 64 KB receive window. A quick packet capture would be able to see what was happening. Check the TCP setup and make sure that both ends are doing TCP window scaling properly.

We have been having a problem receiving software releases from our developer. The releases are typically around 1G in size. The developer’s connection is a 100m metro fiber with TW Telecom, our connection is a 25m Comcast Enterprise Fiber.
Our traffic graphs show very little utilization of our connection. Typically on average we are at about 7 meg utilization of our 25.
Every other partner that shares in our software development that receives the software releases can receive the updates 3-4 times faster than we can.
Typically we receive the releases at about 3mbps.
Are you using an application that uses TCP transport for the transfer?

3Mbps looks about right. Time for a tune up
I have tried contacting Comcast Enterprise Tech support, however I’ve been told that if I run a speed test from my connection and the test runs at the speed we are paying for, there is very little they are willing to look into.
Can anyone check on the Comcast Routers on the Tracert below, or is there anything that can be throttling this connection between the two connections?
Also, our firewall and connection is able to run at the full 25. We have no throttling or QOS set to prevent a good connection to our developer. For example, we can run a multi-threaded upload, in the middle of the night, to Amazon Glacier storage and completely saturate our connection when doing so. The firewall and connection is able to handle our full bandwidth capacity during that backup.
If there is any other information I can provide to help track this problem down, please let me know.
Thanks in advance, everyone!
