Check on speedtest.net and post your results. Comcast gives you powerboost which doubles your download speed for the first 10MB of a file. So if you've got the premium service (8mbps), then you should be getting up to 16mbps.

They probably upgraded your area to PowerBoost. That happened to me like 6 months ago. I went from 8 Mbit and now I'm at ~30 Mbit.
@Noob: I've had the same IP for almost 2 years.

I work for a cable company, If you want to change your IP address just unplug your cable modem for a minute or two. Your current IP will get issued to another MAC address comming online while yours is offline and you will get a fresh one once you power it back up. All the IP's are dynamic unless you pay for a static IP.
I have not confirmed this part but I beleive a log is kept of your(meaning MAC address) IP lease times and dates on there server... my point being don't think that because you change your IP they won't know it was you doing the downloading.
