Possibly the Comcast gateway NAT is unable
to deal with lots of connections andj/or it
may be an older, slow model that can't
handle much traffic.  Or possibly your
connection is just at the low end
of the bandwidth spectrum.  You can
see all the Comcast relays ranked by
traffic by going to

and at the bottom of the page selecting

Advanced Search:

   hostname contains comcast

Some options:

1) have a new gateway swapped in
2) upgrade to faster service
3) switch to a static IP
   (an option for business customers)
   and configure the relay on the
   static IP so it bypasses the
   Comcast device's NAT
4) switch to Verizon FiOS, which
   is 5x better than Comcast
   for the same money
5) make sure the system running the
   relay is reasonably fast, i.e.
   1.8GHz or better and had a decent
   quality NIC; run speedtest_cli.py
   and it should match your ostensible
   Comcast bandwidth

Comcast to 75up/75down FiOS

(keeping in mind the relay is well tuned)
