hamilton is a big area, call the business call center
edit: which computer are you testing from? Bypass your Wireless-N router and connect your fastest PC direct to the cable modem then test again |

Hamilton, ON | 14400 connecting from a wired pc which is probably about as good as it gets, thanks all. The other speeds must just have been the limitation of wireless  . |

If you have a friend with a non-Linksys router it might be worth borrowing it for a test just to see if there's any difference but glad to hear you've at least narrowed down the problem.

My workstation wired right into the router in the basement maxes out the connection (at all times of the day, thanks node split!) but the wireless machines only pull 8-12, depending on reception conditions. It's just something you have to learn to live with. Wireless is far from perfect.
