- Speeds lower than advertised.

Don't really know, shouldn't really matter what time. 16mb is always 16 mb?

Yes cogeco Digital tv, channels seem fine so far

Not yet. I wanted to hear from other cogeco customers in the area to see if this speed was normal. From there I can decide whether or not to keep the service.
4) What troubleshooting steps have you taken to resolve this problem? (aka: if you haven't tried to help yourself, why should *we* help you?)

said by ixiom :a) Is there a specific time that this issue is most prevalent? Don't really know, shouldn't really matter what time. 16mb is always 16 mb? It matters to those of us troubleshooting, can help us identify an issue
said by ixiom :c) What is your home network setup? Linksys N router, 3 wireless laptops, 2 wired desktops. What is experience when you have a single computer connected directly to the modem? You need to first rule out the home network and although I may well be biased I have experience nothing but trouble with Linksys devices. Try one device directly connected for a test for a while.
said by ixiom :d) If you have more than one computer, is the problem occuring on all other machines? The answer to this question helps us help you.
said by ixiom :e) Are you running a firewall of any sort? Have you ever installed one? Did you try to turn it off during troubleshooting?no firewall Have you scanned for malware recently on all your systems? One infected system on your home network can cause issues.
