you are letting your glaring lack of knowledge about network neutrality show... :uhh:

network neutrality is in regards to carriers slowing down access to independent websites because they can't fork over the cash that a mainstream site would be able to hand over.
it has also been used to describe "protocol agnosticism", wherein an isp doesn't care what type of packets are coming across the wire if network management has to be put in place.

"network neutrality" doesn't mean that all areas have the same "last mile" speed to the internet.

dangle a switch off your cable modem and then you can have your nat router pull an ip and if you had a vonage ata or something like that, you could give it its own dynamic ip without having to play with port forwarding etc...

i would use it to test vpn setups etc, as sometimes nat-transversal isn't always enabled ;)

well, then why did the person with his linksys earlier didn't see full speeds?

Huh? Your post confuses me. Okay, as I stated before... the WRT54G (as well as most any home router product) is two products in one. First, it's a router, second it's a switch (10/100 usually) or if it's wireless, then it's three.

So, if your WAN port is 10/100 and the intergrated switch is 10/100... this does NOT mean you will be able to transfer that much bandwidth between WAN and LAN.

The router (WAN) is pretty much a little "computer". It has several tasks. It must do network address translation (NAT) between WAN and LAN, it's also a DHCP Server, a firewall, and if you have wireless, it may encrypt data (WPA/WEP if it has wireless security enabled) and the list goes on, such as port forwarding, VPN, mac filtering, logging, etc. The WRT54G, for example, only has a 200 Mhz processor and either 8 MB or 16 MB Ram, and yet it has to handle all these tasks.. all at the same time.

It's pretty much like putting a broadband connection on a 486 computer. It's only going to be able to push so much data and that's it. Of course, more expensive routers have better processors and more ram. The WRT150N has a 264 Mhz processor and 16 MB Ram for example... therefor, it will perform better than the WRT54G, just as the WRT54GS will perform better than the WRT54G.

Heck, the WRT350N V2.0 router has a 500 Mhz CPU with 32MB Ram in it!

Now, if you transfer files between two computers connected to the router, sure, you'll see the full 10/100 speed, or if you transfer from wireless to a wired computer, you'll again see decent speed (however, it still is somewhat limited to the CPU/RAM in the router, but not as much as network address translation (NAT))]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22175088 Fri, 03 Apr 2009 01:18:33 EDT Re: Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22175060 acid343211 :

the router says it can handle speeds up to 100/10.

Rob
you obviously have no clue. :uhh:
your router has a 10/100 ethernet switch in in. this means that the switch can support *either* 10 megabit ethernet *or* 100 megabit ethernet connections, which is autonegotiated between the switch and the ethernet card on your computer.
this is separate from the wan port on your router. older models may only have a 10meg port, but if you are getting the "premier" speeds, then you have a 100megabit port. however, your actual performance will not be able to hit 100megabit because you are limited by the ram/processor power in your router (which is often underpowered).

if you recall, most users that ordered the 50/5 service from comcast when it first came out required router upgrades. this will more than likely be required by most users who purchase this service from cox. now, if you want to purchase a new router, you can (if you want gigabit lan). or you can keep going with your grumblings, complaining, and misinformation :huh:

I thought if I am hooked up wired to the router then it should be capable of 100mbps internally, or that's what the router can handle? Over wireless it would be less... Perhaps I am wrong.
The WRT54G is actually two pieces of equipment in one. It's a router WITH a 10/100 switch built in. Sure, you can get 100mbps when moving files between computers (using the internal switch) however, the WRT54G only has a Broadcomm 200 Mhz processor and it can only push so much data using NAT.

According to this site, people are reporting around 24Mbit as the norm, of course if you flash with DD-WRT this can improve it a tad, but not by a whole lot

»www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=341

wrt54g:
The HTTP speed is max around 3 Mbyte per second on average. (24Mbps)
FTP speed from WAN to LAN around 41 Mbps and from LAN to WAN around 22Mbps

wrt54gl:
The HTTP speed is max around 4 Mbyte per second on average. (32Mbps)
FTP speed from WAN to LAN around 46 Mbps (max average 38 Mbps) and from LAN to WAN around 20Mbps.

Conclusion:
The wrt54gl is much faster and the LAN to WAN speed is low but this seems firmware dependend.


Of course, if you are using more services on your WRT54G, such as Port Forwarding, VPN, WPA/WEP, then your speeds could very as more processing power is needed for these services. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22173787 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:52:41 EDT Re: Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22173776 FourWheelKid : Would be lovely to have...but it's so expensive...I can only hope that the other tiers (premium/premiere/value/etc) are bumped up as well sooner or later.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22173776 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:50:19 EDT Re: Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22173697 nongobi : Perhaps a Cox employee here can check into this (I have someone looking into it currently)... when the technician came (and then some other Cox employee came) I asked about the three static IPs.

Just to clarify some of the questions that have come up. $89.99/mo. is the service cost per modem. You get 3 IP addresses but all 3 IP addresses are tied to the same modem. Bandwidth is provied at 50Mb downstream and 5Mb upstream and the IP address count has no impact the QoS.

You have 3 IP's on one modem, so you could have a IP for your XBox, another for PS3, and one for your computer... so that if you game a lot, you can just tell someone which IP to connect to.

I personally find having 3 IP's is a bit too much. Port 80, 25, etc are going to be blocked anyway, why would a regular home user need 3 IP's when some ports are blocked? :-(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22170873 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 12:06:04 EDT Re: Cox launches DOCSIS 3.0 in Louisiana http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22170852 anon : so im capped at a total 50mb shared between the 3. that 50 for each modem? i just got confused when you said total between them. just wondering

You get 3 ip addresses

At this time their are *NO* transfer caps on this level of service.

For those curious about what type of modem you get it's a Cisco DPC3000.

These modems are not yet widely available in retail outlets; however, Cox is selling them in our retail locations for $99.99.

Yes powerboost is available on this tier of service.

Cox rolled out DOCSIS 3.0 technology in Lafayette Parish, Louisiana this week with the launch of our Ultimate high-speed Internet service. Cox's Ultimate Internet offers downloads up to 50 Mbps and uploads up to 5 Mbps.

We plan to offer DOCSIS 3.0 technology to several markets by the end of this year, and it's expected to be available to more than two-thirds of our footprint by the end of 2010. No other market launches have been announced at this time, but testing is underway and we’ll have more news soon!
Nice! They have to compete with the Lafayette fiber system I see. Wish the Baton Rouge market would have been part of this ;)

I wonder if they are going to compete with the fiber system in Gonzales, LA. But that one has been around for a while, so maybe not.

I am still jealous of the fiber system though...

10 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$28.95

30 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$44.95

50 Mbps (Download AND Upload)
$57.95

That's just sick! Then combine that with every customer is 100Mbps to other fiber customers.
