| [Speed] 50/10 Customer, Speed Issue Hey all, just had 50/10 installed today and seeing about 35/11 so far on speeds to the nearest server. Seeing 25/9 to the next 2 closest. Pings run anywhere from 20 to 50. My question is, what should I be seeing specs wise on the modem as this is far lower than I expected considering I had a good speeds when I was on the 20/5 plan.I have an Arris TM722G Voice Modem. What should I be seeing when I look at the downstream/upstream data? |

i think i remember hearing people not getting their speeds while using an EMTA on extreme tier packages....could be mistaken....maybe others could chime in.....
this is without a router when doing these tests?

| Actually yes and I realize that is not optimal. I am using an older G series Linksys (7 years old) and wonder if some of that may be because of the router type. Wanted to start with the specs and then work my back though. |

PC > Modem. You would think I would know better. DOH!
Hmmm, guess I should have done what I have always done. Tested properly. Just picked up a new dual band N router, let's throw that in and see what it looks like. |
|
| Yep, 35 Mbps is about where the WRT54G routers top out at (assuming that's the particular model line you're referring to).
Which router did you end up getting?

| Just set up a Linksys E2500, have that running to a 5 port switch and on to this PC. Current tests show the following.....

| Good choice, enjoy the speeds!

| Thanks. Can't believe I skipped step 1 of this and didn't direct connect. I need a few days off.... |

When I changed out my G to an N, I saw a significant difference in speeds (doubled). |

I saw a web page with this package and the Linksys wireless G WRT54G and he could only do the exact speeds you are saying, until he upgraded the router. When he did he saw 60Mb/10Mb..
Please go upgrade your router to a Gb router and try again. I promise you will see around 60Mb/10Mb..

| Yeah it's just the most logical choice is to replace the router. I mean unless your going to downgrade your internet package to fit within the speed capabilities of the WRT54G. Let us know about suggestions for routers. |

The OP already replaced the old router with an E2500, which is capable of just over 90 Mbps.
