    I live in a rural area chandler,tx. there are only 2 high speed ISP's in my area embarq and suddenlink. anyways the connection is somewhat good..most times i have 3+megs advertised speed is 5 Megs but lately it seems as tho it is always slow my tests show 1 to 1.5 i mean everything really slowed down...so i have called tech support a bunch of times and wanted to know what was happening to my speeds , we did all kinds of tests people came to my house and checked the lines...then recently i noticed something , almost every time i called support like within 10 to 15 minutes my speeds were back up hell even better than the advertised 5 megs...i was just wondering if anyone else had noticed the same type of issues with embarq? are they cutting back on my bandwidth until i complain? seems that way ...right after i call them everything is back to normal or better..this has been an ongoing thing for almost 8 months. I am seriously thinking of switching to suddenlink and see how that goes if embarq cant get their act together soon.

    "if it is all you can get go for it"

    Yep, that's the only reason that I have it. I'm always looking for better options and will certainly take it the first time an opportunity should present itself.

    In the interim, rebooting the modem 4 to 6 times throughout the day seems to help a bit.

    Best of luck with it!
