Re: Is Blast! available in your area - Not PowerBoost Pt 2

I can vouch for the router problem. I have a Netgear RT314 router that I installed like 9 years ago. It has been very reliable and I never had any reason to change it, but unfortunately, it was released at a time when "broadband" speeds were considered anything more than 128k. The WAN port to which the cable modem (Motorola Surfboard 5100) is connected is only capable of 10Base-T function (tops out at 10mbps in perfect conditions).

At first I was puzzled why my speed tests were topping out around 7 mbps down, when my upload speeds were clearly improved by the Comcast speed upgrade, uploading at near 2.7 mbps.

Then I disconnected the router, and ran the line directly to my computer and ran the speed tests. Sure enough, I got 26 mbps down! I have since swapped the router with one where the WAN port supports at least 100mbps on the WAN uplink port.
