I bugged David asking why my speed tests were much lower than I expected, only to find out that it was a PEBKAC.

So you aren't alone!

I remembered my ipcop firewall has a traffic shaper and was set to the pro level speeds. It was limiting the speed.

My bad....

Let this be a lesson to everyone, always check your traffic shaper.

Thanks everyone ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22906986 Sat, 22 Aug 2009 00:30:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22906909 Gaff : Well clearly there is an issue somewhere.

I would take the word of the guys on Direct (who are all Level 2 or higher, I believe) over the word of a Level 1 on the phone any day of the week.

It sounds like your upgrade has not been provisioned correctly. Your line stats indicate that it is more than capable of supporting Elite speeds.

2 days ago my Modem (2 Wire 2700HG-B Gateway) reported a upgrade in speed so I tested it and was only getting around 2.5Mb/s
I searched this site a found that this is a common problem and to call and have them check your redback profile. When I did they said that the profile was fine. They said they would forward my problem to the local office to have them make sure we were on the right speed.

I waited 24 hours like they asked to no avail. The speed it still at the pro level.
Maybe on of y'all could help out

here is the speed test
