Sorry I forgot to mention, This si with a whole bunch of people using the connection at once.

I am a network admin for the hunt library and we have a whole bunch of people using the connection. So for the amount of people using it while I was doing the speed test it went up a little .

At home my connection even when busy has been up at 13/1.8 when normally it used to be 11 /1.6

This doesnt make sense unless there are other changes to the network that helped you. Raising the hardcap on the modem will not raise your speeds if your speeds were already low due to something like congestion.

said by ace41690 :

Feel free to correct me if im wrong here, but as i understand it, a node has like 35 mb of bandwidth right? So thats divided among all of the people on the node. If thats all being used up already due to congestion, your speeds wont increase when the modem hardcap goes up.

said by majortom1029 :

I am pretty sure that if you raise the amount of bandwidth that they can all use then speeds would increase wouldnt they ?

so if there are three people using say 15/2 then three people using 16.5/2 wouldnt the three people using 16.5/2 have more bandwidth available if all three are using the connection at once?
