Re: Pay for Elite but always drops back to Pro speed
Well that eliminates the rip and rebuild. When in doubt, rip it out.
Odds are your line stats are scheiße. Line stats can be found through this FAQ: »Ameritech - SBC FAQ »Where are the Line Stats in a 5100b or 4100? Change appropriately for different modems. |

| I talked to a buddy here at work a few minutes ago. He's a former ATT'er and knows alot about DSL. He says he thinks my modem is bad. It is a Motorola modem that I got back in December. They had to replace my old Speedstream modem that I had since 2000. Thanks for the link! |

| On June 12th, I replaced my original modem (a SpeedStream 5260) that had worked rock solid since I first got DSL a number of years ago ... replaced it with the latest Motorola from ATT ... AND I still have a speed issue ... see my post in this same forum regarding the chronology of the issue.
So don't spend the extra $49 or so for a new one until you're absolutely sure that the modem is the problem ... at least that's my 2 cents. |

Dallas, TX | Thanks. I saw your post. Funny thing is I replaced my Speedstream back in December with a new Motorola. However, I recently noticed my speed falling off. I bet we're having the same issue.
Folks on here have been very helpful! |
